I guess many people have misunderstandings when taking reading notes. As far as I'm concerned, there are generally two ways for me to take reading notes: one is to extract classic sentences or opinions, and the other is to write some long-winded "irrelevant or shallow empty talk". These practices are not wrong, but as far as reading for the purpose of acquiring knowledge is concerned, it can only get half the result with half the effort and have little effect. What is an efficient reading note?
First of all, an example from Wen Xin is extracted:
"Lu Zhi's poem says," It's a pity that an old friend with a green eye never comes ",and Wei Gong's" Look at the fragrance of yellow flowers in the evening festival "both use the word" evening festival "in yellow flowers. When the vegetation is falling, only the yellow flowers stand out, so this word can be used. "
This is a reading note about "Yellow Flower" and "Night Festival", which explains the relationship between Yellow Flower and Night Festival, and gives two examples, which are reasonable and well-founded. Anyone who reads it will understand the relationship between the two, and it will not be difficult to use it in the future. Is this kind of reading note very efficient and clear at a glance!
So, how can I make such reading notes?
1 Write reading notes in an argumentative way
Reading notes are not reflections or book reviews, but simply acquire knowledge from books, understand them and use them for your own use. There is a saying in Wen Xin that "reading notes do not need rhetoric modification, but should be short and simple." In addition to assertions, reasons and examples, there is no need to say anything fearless. " Therefore, you can use argumentative writing to write reading notes, as long as you extract the wonderful ideas and classic sentences in the book, tell the wonderful reasons, and give examples when necessary, without talking nonsense.
In recent years, the popular "onion chafing dish" reading note method is also an argumentative note method. The specific method is to record the reading date, title and author in a notebook, then extract the content that touches you, and then write your own comments and thoughts under the extracted original text. This method has three advantages: first, it can deepen memory, second, it can deepen understanding, and third, it can provide material for writing book reviews and articles in the future. With this reading method, reading activities can complete a leap from copying mechanically to original thinking.
2 read a certain knowledge point and take special notes.
For example, if you want to learn to write a novel, the beginning and the end of the novel are all wonderful, so you can read more novels, record how many ways to write the beginning and the end of the novel, and compare which ways are more brilliant for later use.
3 RIA post-it-notes-ask questions or confirm life experiences
If you have doubts about the opinions in the book, you can write them down so as to solve them later. Or the ideas in the book can be confirmed with one's own life, or one's own experience can be recorded, which can be used as good material for writing. RIA post-it notes method can be adopted:
RIA post-it notes method divides reading into: R (original fragment), I (restating knowledge in my own words), A1 (describing my own relevant experience) and A2 (how to apply it in the future).
★R: When reading, when you encounter a certain heart fragment, stop and draw it.
★I: Retell the original knowledge in your own words to understand the knowledge itself, write it down and stick it on the corresponding page.
★A1: Review whether you have experienced or seen similar things and situations, so that this knowledge is really relevant to you.
★A2: combine what you have read (opinions/suggestions/inspirations) with your own experience and imagine how you can use it in the future.
4? Write boldly, don't be afraid of stereotypes
Don't be afraid of your limited knowledge and experience. What you write is what others have written. As long as you don't copy others, you get it after thinking. "The original intention of writing notes is to record the experience and research results of reading for future reference and application, and it is not prepared for people to see like books or leaflets." That's it, except for a few famous writers who can publish their reading notes for everyone's reference, the vast majority of readers only read their reading notes for themselves, so what's the fear? Just write boldly!
5? Do a good job in classification and indexing, and pay attention to the reproducibility of notes
Many people take notes, finish them, and never look through them again, just for show. What's the use of such notes? It's just a waste of time and energy It is recommended to use loose-leaf paper or cloud notes to take notes, which can be easily classified and easy to find in the future.
