What is Note Making? The exercise that helps a student organize the reading material into brief notes is called note-making. A note-making exercise helps a student to reduce a long lecture given in the class into a series of brief notes. Note-making also helps the reporters to take down important points from a press conference, interview session and so on. How to Make Notes from a long reading text/lectures/press conference etc? At first read the reading text/ passage at one stretch and get the idea of what it is all about. Read again paragraph wise and write down important points and sub points based on that paragraph. Make a sequence of all points & sub-points in the order of their importance. Do not use full sentence : Use only words/phrases For Each main point make a maximum of four sub-points. Characteristics of Notes Short, no full sentences, only points only the important information included logically presented in sequence Organized approximately under Heading and Sub Heading. Common Errors with Note Making 1. Inappropriately title and not placed suitably. 2. Title is not written with capital letters. 3 Sub-Headings and sub-sub-headings are not properly indented. 4. Students either forget to write abbreviations or don’t form correct abbreviations. 5. Students make the key for abbreviations but do not use them in notes. Do not underline the abbreviations. 6. Write complete sentences instead of headings. 7. Write the word ‘Title’ and ‘Sub-Title’ which is not required. 8. Make more than 5 Main points. 9. Exceed the word limit in summary. Sample Note Making 1. How does television affect our lives? It can be very helpful to people who carefully choose the shows that they watch Television can increase our knowledge of the outside world; there are high quality programmes that help us understand many fields of study, science, medicine, the arts and so on. Moreover, television benefits very old people who can’t often leave the house, as well as patients in hospital. It also offers non-native speakers the advantage of daily informal language practice. They can increase their vocabulary and practice listening. 2. On the other hand, there are several serious disadvantages to television. Of course, it provides us with a pleasant way to relax and spend our free time, but in some countries, people watch the ‘boob-tube’ for an average of six hours or more a day. Many children stare at a television screen for more hours each day than they do anything else, including studying and sleeping. It’s clear that the tube has a powerful influence on their lives and that its influence is often negative. 3. Recent studies show that after only thirty seconds of watching television, a person’s brain ‘relaxes’ the same way that it does just before the person falls asleep. Another effect of television on the human brain is that it seems to cause poor concentration. Children who view a lot of television can often concentrate on a subject for only fifteen to twenty minutes. They can pay attention only for the amount of time between commercials. 4. Another disadvantage is that television often causes people to become dissatisfied with their own lives. Real life does not seem as exciting to these people as the lives of actors on the screen To many people television becomes more real than reality and their own lives ..boring. Also many people get upset or depressed when they can’t solve problems in real life as quickly as television actors seem to. 5.Before a child is fourteen years old, he or she views eleven thousand murders on the tube. He or she begins to believe that there is nothing strange about fights, killings and other kinds of violence. Many studies show that people become more violent after certain. Programmes they may even do the things that they saw in a violent show. Sample Note Making Exercise 1. (a) Title : The Impact of Television 1. Benefits of T.V. 1.1 Inc. our know.

The sidewalks are dangerous, narrow, poorly maintained, and full of potholes, garbage dumps, dangerous electrical fittings and stinky urinals. Public management is poor. Unaccountability can be seen on the part of authorities. Money is misused without providing care to the users. In the modern city. Where pedestrian is the king, the floor of city should he maintained by keeping in mind about the environment, physically challenged, old and infirm children.

Buy PDF copies of all our Worksheets ( Reading| Writing | Grammar | Literature (CBQs) HERE Sample Answers Q1. The table shows a clear shift in how people use the internet across different age groups. Teenagers spend the most time on entertainment, with online games being the dominant activity (88%) followed by downloads (85%). Their online shopping activity is relatively low (44%) and they are the least likely age group to search for products online (0%). As users enter their 20s and 30s, their online priorities change. Shopping becomes a more prominent activity, with 66% and 67% of people in these age groups buying products online respectively. There is also a significant increase in product research with 77% and 81% of people in their 20s and 30s searching for products online respectively. The time spent on online games and downloads steadily declines across these age groups. People in their 40s show a continued focus on shopping (69%) and product research (85%) online. However, their entertainment preferences seem to shift away from online games (28%) and downloads (25%) with news becoming a more prominent activity (78%). Overall, the table suggests that younger users prioritize entertainment on the internet, while older users are more likely to use the internet for shopping and research. Q2. The survey conducted in New Delhi schools reveals a surprising trend in extracurricular activities among early teens. Music appears to be the runaway favorite, with a significant number of students (around 530) showing interest in it. This is more than double the number of students interested in the second-place activity, cricket (around 260). Art and theatre seem to be of interest to a considerably smaller portion of the student body, with around 190 and 160 students respectively showing interest in these activities. Dance appears to be the least popular choice among the five activities listed, with only around 130 students interested. It’s important to note that this survey was limited to schools in New Delhi, and may not reflect the preferences of early teens across India. Additionally, the reasons behind these preferences are not explored in the data. Q3. Smoking is a dangerous habit that wreaks havoc on both the smoker's finances and health. It significantly drains the income of an average earner, leaving less money for essential needs. More importantly, smoking has a devastating impact on health, damaging vital organs like the lungs and heart. The harmful effects extend beyond the smoker, as secondhand smoke poses a health risk to those nearby, making it a significant public health concern. To combat this issue, educating people about the hazards of smoking is crucial. Schools and public health campaigns can play a vital role in spreading awareness. Additionally, the media can be a powerful tool in this fight, using graphic messages and public figures to discourage smoking and promote a healthy lifestyle. Q4. According to the pie chart, digital marketing offers several advantages that contribute to business expansion. The largest benefit, according to the chart, is wider reach, at 45%. This suggests that digital marketing allows businesses to target a much larger audience than traditional marketing methods. Traditional marketing methods, such as print ads or billboards, are limited by geography and demographics. Digital marketing, on the other hand, can reach people anywhere in the world with an internet connection. This allows businesses to tap into new markets and grow their customer base. In addition to wider reach, digital marketing is also seen as more cost-effective (10%) and allows for direct communication with customers (10%). This can help businesses save money on marketing costs and build stronger relationships with their customers. Finally, digital marketing is measurable (15%), meaning that businesses can track the results of their campaigns and see what is working and what is not. This allows them to make adjustments to their campaigns as needed and improve their return on investment (ROI). Q5. While the arrival of digital and audiobooks offers a convenient and accessible way to engage with literature, the school library shouldn't abandon traditional paper books entirely. Teachers hold merit in their argument that the physical experience of a book – the weight of it in your hands, the turning of pages, and the unique scent – can enhance the reading experience. This tactile connection can foster a deeper focus and appreciation for the written word, especially for younger readers. However, digital and audiobooks shouldn't be seen as replacements, but rather complementary formats. They offer advantages like portability, accessibility for visually impaired students, and the ability to adjust font size and narration speed. The ideal scenario would be a well-rounded library that caters to different learning styles and preferences, allowing students to choose the format that best suits their needs and fosters a love of reading.
