Top Text Title: Top Text: Listening means more than just hearing. LISTENING means hearing and trying to understand and/or appreciate what you have heard. Hearing is a natural ability, but listening means directing your attention to what is being said. Generally, people talk at about 125 words per minute. However, we think at a speed that is more than three times as fast, about 400 words per minute. That means that our thoughts move much faster than the words of whatever we're hearning. So, it's not surprising that we often let our attention wander away from what someone is trying to say to us. The key to becoming a good listener is to be an ACTIVE listener: to keep our thoughts directed on what we are hearing. One way to be actively involved in listening ( or reading ) is to take notes. To take useful notes you must decide what is the main idea and the important details. There are several ways to take notes. What is important is that the notetaking style you use works for your learning style and that they are written in a way that you will understand them when you review them. Links Section Title:
