Question

If you decide to take written notes when listening to a speech, write down: _____.

Answer 1

Bullet points...............that would be my choice, since you cannot write as fast as someone speaking, and it gives you a general idea, not specific.

Answer 2

Taking written notes while listening to a speech could be challenging because you don't have time to write full paragraphs. Under this scenario it is useful to write down only the things you might forget or a few words or phrases that could help you to remember key concepts of the speech.
