Học cách viết tắt

Cách take note khi nghe tiếng Anh hiệu quả, lời khuyên đầu tiên là: Hãy viết tắt!. Bạn có thể áp
dụng những cách viết tắt phổ biến hoặc tự đặt ra quy tắc cho chính mình. Ví dụ như:

 b4 = before
 to = 2
 fine = 5
 you = u
 BTW: by the way
 NM: not much

Để take note nhanh hơn, bạn đừng nên cố gắng ghi hết những gì bạn tiếp nhận được. Hãy chú ý
những “keyword” và sắp xếp nó một cách khoa học nhất.
Hoặc là Rút ngắn nguyên âm. Bạn sẽ không viết lại nguyên âm, chỉ viết lại phụ âm
Ví dụ:

 People – ppl
 development – dvpt
 marketing – mkt
 page – pg

Sẽ có những từ tương tự nhau, thì phương pháp thêm dấu phẩy vào trước chữ cái đuôi là cách
để tạo ra sự khác biệt của những từ đó.
Ví dụ:

 independence – indep
 international – inter’l
 nation – nat
 national – nat’l
 politics – pol
 politician – pol’n
 communication – commmu’n
 common – com’n
 education – edu
 educational – edu’l

Hoặc là dựa vào ký tự của một số từ để nhận biết

Ví dụ:

 per / each – /
 increase / improvement – ↑
 decrease / deterioration – ↓
 leads to / causes – →
 linked / interrelated / connected – ↔
 equal / is the same as / same as – =
 does not equal / is not the same as / not same as – ≠
 is less than / is smaller than – <
 is greater than / is larger than – >
 very – v.
 extremely – vv.
 especially – esp
  around / similar to – ~
 etcetera / so on – etc
 for example – e.g.
 in other words – i.e.
 with – w/
 without – w/o
 a thousand – K
 Century – C
