Note Taking

Good afternoon, everyone.

各位午安。

I am Miss Leung, the librarian, and today I am going to introduce our Summer Reading Scheme.

我是圖書館主任梁老師，今天要介紹我們的暑期閱讀計劃。

Please listen carefully and take notes, because the details are important.

請專心聆聽並做筆記，因為細節很重要。

The scheme starts on 1 July and ends on 31 August.

計劃由七月一日開始，至八月三十一日結束。

Before I continue, let me give you the outline.

在繼續之前，讓我先給大家一個大綱。

There are three key points to remember: what to read, what to write and what you will get.

要記住三個重點：讀甚麼、寫甚麼，以及你會得到甚麼。

First, you must read at least four books and write a short report on each one.

第一，你至少要讀四本書，並為每本書寫一份簡短報告。

Second, every report needs three keywords and a fifty-word summary; you may use abbreviations such as “bd” for “book” and “sum” for “summary” if that helps you write faster.

第二，每份報告需要三個關鍵字和五十字摘要；如果寫得更快，可以用縮寫，例如以「bd」代表「book」，「sum」代表「summary」。

Third, students who finish all four reports will get a certificate and a free bookmark.

第三，完成四份報告的同學可獲證書和免費書籤。

To organise your notes, draw a simple table with four rows: one for each book.

整理筆記時，畫一個有四行的簡單表格：每本書一行。

Please take notes now, because I will not repeat the details.

現在請做筆記，因為我不會重複細節。

You can also find this outline on the library website, where you can review it any time.

你也可以在圖書館網站找到這份大綱，隨時重溫。

If you have questions, come to the library desk on Monday or Thursday after school.

如有問題，放學後逢星期一或四到圖書館服務台。

Last year, forty-two students completed the scheme, and many of them said the reports improved their writing.

去年有四十二位同學完成計劃，其中很多人說報告提升了他們的寫作能力。

I look forward to seeing your name on the list.

我期待在名單上看到你的名字。

Finally, remember to review your notes within a day, because a quick review helps you remember much more.

最後，記住要在一天內重溫筆記，因為快速重溫能幫你記得更多。
