Note-taking Skill Using a chart to organize notes about main ideas
Charts are a useful way to organize your notes on a presentation. Using a chart to
list main ideas can help you understand how a presentation is organized and can
help you identify the speaker’s most important points.
To organize your notes about main ideas, divide your page into two columns. Use
the left column to show how the presentation is organized. Use the right column
to write down the main ideas. You can also write any key words or phrases that
support each main idea.
Look at the example below from Activity A. The student uses the left column to show
the topics in a text and the right column to show the main ideas and key phrases.
A. Read this section of a talk about motivating team members. Circle what
you think are the main ideas. Underline any key words or phrases that
support each main idea.
If you are a leader, then you know that highly motivated people do better
work than people who are discouraged, tired, or just unenthusiastic. But how
can you keep a team excited over the long haul? How can you motivate them
to do their best? Those aren’t easy questions, but here are three simple ways to
Property of Oxford University Press for exclusive use of King Saud University’s
When you explain what you expect, you’re providing your team members
with a specific goal. And this will help your team focus their energy and
efforts on what is important. Beyond that, make sure to provide your whole
team with feedback that will help them improve. Helpful feedback makes it
easier for us to learn and develop, and it also helps us to identify and correct
problems before they get too big. Lastly, remember to reward good work.
Don’t just be a critic. Rewards can be anything from a “thank you” to a party,
a pay raise, or even a day off. Be creative, and don’t be cheap. Make sure your
team knows when they’ve done well. They’ll get excited when they know a
reward is on its way, and they’ll feel like their hard work is actually paying off.

Sure, we all look better when we smile, but can our facial expressions really
cause us to succeed or fail? Many scientists believe that smiling can lead to
more success in life, whereas frowning can lead to more problems. Some
researchers discovered that people who smiled in school pictures were more
likely to have longer, happier marriages in the future than those who did
not. In contrast, people who didn’t smile in their class photos tended to get
divorced more often. Also, people who smiled in job interviews were more
likely to get the jobs than candidates who didn’t smile. Smiling also reduces
stress, some scientists say. In fact, in one study, smiling while doing a stressful
job helped workers’ brains and bodies recover from the stress more quickly
afterward. On the other hand, people who didn’t smile had faster heartbeats
long after they finished the stressful job. Maybe this is why smiling can even
cause people to live longer. One research study discovered that if baseball
players were smiling on their cards, they lived almost seven years longer than
players who weren’t smiling. So, remember to smile!

Note-taking Skill Taking notes using key words and phrases
Trying to write down every word as you listen to a lecture or a presentation is an
impossible task. Speakers talk too quickly, repeat themselves, and say things that
are not essential to their message. When you listen and take notes, quickly decide
which words are important and which words aren’t. Write the key words and
phrases in your notes.
Here are some tips to help you identify key words and phrases:
• They are directly connected to the topic.
• They communicate the main idea and important supporting details.
• They are usually repeated or rephrased.
• They may be specific names, dates, places, or events.
Do not try to write complete sentences in your notes. Key words and phrases are
all you need to help you summarize what you heard.

Intransitive Phrasal Verbs
Intransitive phrasal verbs don’t take a direct object at all. They are never separable.
In some situations, children grow up faster than in others.
It can be difficult to understand the meaning of a phrasal verb by looking at the
words that make it up. Also, some phrasal verbs have more than one meaning.
When you learn a new phrasal verb’s meaning, you must also learn if it is
transitive or intransitive and whether it is separable or inseparable.

2. Cross out information that isn’t important.
3. Use the extra space on the paper to add your thoughts and make connections
between the lecture and the information in your textbook.
4. Use a dictionary to look up all new key words. Write the definition or translation.
5. Make notes about what you don’t understand so you can ask your teacher later.

The PopsicleTM
The PopsicleTM is a popular summertime treat in the United States. Kids have
been enjoying them for decades. But most people don’t know that the PopsicleTM
was invented by an 11-year-old.
In 1905, Frank Epperson filled a cup with water and fruit-flavored “soda powder,”
a mix that was used to make a popular drink. Frank left his drink outside on his porch
with a stir stick in it. He forgot all about it and went to bed. That night, the temperature
dropped to below freezing in San Francisco, where Frank lived. When he woke up the
next morning, he discovered that his fruit drink had frozen to the stir stick. He pulled
the frozen mixture out of the cup by the stick, creating a fruit-flavored ice treat.
In 1923, Frank Epperson began making and selling
his ice treats in different flavors. By 1928, Frank had
sold over 60 million PopsiclesTM, and his business had
made him very wealthy. Nowadays, over three million
PopsiclesTM are sold each year.
PopsiclesTM aren’t the only invention made by
accident. But they might be the tastiest.

Most small children love to run and play. But what they don’t know is that by
playing, they are actually getting smarter. In fact, when kids engage in sports,
the results can be long-lasting improvements to their young, developing brains.
For instance, a study conducted in 2007 found that vigorous exercise increases
the flow of blood to the brain. As a result of this increased blood flow, children
who exercise may find it easier to stay alert, focus, and learn. More recent
research has also shown that vigorous physical activity helps create new brain
cells, therefore causing improved short-term memory and more creativity. In
other words, children can become better, more creative students by simply
playing hard. School-aged children are often under a great deal of pressure.
Some studies have shown that running outdoors actually reduces stress and
helps kids deal with many of the pressures they are facing.

VOCABULARY LIST AND CEFR CORRELATION
The keywords of the Oxford 3000™ have been carefully selected by a group of language experts and
experienced teachers as the words which should receive priority in vocabulary study because of their
importance and usefulness.
The Academic Word List is the most principled and widely accepted list of academic words. Averil
Coxhead gathered information from academic materials across the academic disciplines to create this
word list.
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) provides a basic description of
what language learners have to do to use language effectively. The system contains 6 reference levels: A1,
A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. CEFR leveling provided by the Word Family Framework, created by Richard West and
published by the British Council. http://www.learnenglish.org.uk/wff/
