When we listen to a speaker or come across any information, it is not possible to note down each and every word. In such scenario, Note Making becomes very handy and reliable. A good example is, listening to a sermon in the church and noting down some pertinent points.
Note Making and Summarising
Tips:
It should be short
Main points only
Avoid complete sentences
Write the summary from your notes.
If you provide only summary without notes, you get ZERO mark.
