5. Style of Note Making
Suppose that you are in a class and the teacher is teaching a very
important concept. It is difficult for us to remember everything
taught in the class in the same order. Also in our daily lives, it is not
possible to memorize everything. To overcome this difficulty, one
notes down important details. These notes help us in the time of
need. The noting down of useful concepts and points is the basis of
what one says note making.
