Listening Summary 聆聽摘要

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Study Skills on Radio Campus, your school radio programme.

各位早晨，歡迎收聽校園電台的《學習技巧》節目。

I am your host, Mandy, and in the next ten minutes we will talk about how to write a good summary after listening.

我是你們的主持Mandy，在接著的十分鐘，我們會談一談聽完之後怎樣寫好一篇摘要。

You can hear our jingle playing in the background now, which means it is time to sharpen your pencils.

你現在聽到的背景音樂是我們的台聲，即是說：是時候削尖你的鉛筆。

First, during your first listening, do not try to write down every detail.

第一，第一次聽的時候，不要嘗試寫下每個細節。

Instead, listen for the gist, which means the main idea of the whole talk.

相反，要聽出主旨，即是整段說話的中心思想。

During note-taking, use abbreviations such as info for information, and arrows to show causes and results.

筆記期間，用縮寫例如「info」代表資訊，用箭頭表示因果。

Good signal words, like first, however and in conclusion, tell you that a key point is coming.

好的提示詞，例如「首先」、「不過」同「總結」，會告訴你重點快來了。

Do not worry if your first notes look messy; tidying comes later.

第一次筆記看起來亂七八糟都不必擔心；整理是之後的事。

After the second listening, organize your notes into a simple outline.

第二次聽完之後，將那些筆記整理成一個簡單大綱。

Then write your summary in four or five sentences, using your own words.

然後用自己的文字，寫四至五句的摘要。

Remember, a summary should be short but complete.

記住，摘要要短，但要完整。

Before we finish, here is a tip from last year's top student: check your spelling quietly during the final reading.

節目結束之前，分享去年全級最佳學生的貼士：在最後一次閱讀那時，靜靜地檢查一下串字。

You can find more tips on the school website, and you can email our studio with your questions.

學校網站有更多貼士，你亦可以發電郵給我們直播室問問題。

Join us again next Friday, when our guest will be the head librarian.

下星期五再見，屆時嘉賓是圖書館主任。
