Journey to Antarctica

HOW TO TAKE NOTES?

Please note that note-taking is not to write each and every sentence you hear. You should just pick up highlights and write as briefly as possible in the forms of words, expressions or phrases. As a first step, just try to catch important names, numbers, examples and basic definitions. It would be a good strategy to draw arrows or circles to highlight the main ideas and to organize your note-taking.

You are going to listen to a lecture about Ernest Shackleton's trip to Antarctica. As you listen, write notes on a piece of paper. You may use the note-taking sheet to understand the outline of the lecture.

Do not look at the Questions until the lecture has ended. Do not look at the Audio Script while you are taking notes. You may listen twice. Then use your notes and choose the correct answer.
