[Writing Skill] Symbols and Abbreviations

A good note taker use telegraphic (電報的) language like symbols and abbreviation. We can use standard abbreviations and symbols, we can also make up (編製) our own consistent (一致) system (e.g . community → comm.).
1. Common Symbols (see also Mathematical Symbols)

2. Use abbreviations (Short Form Wording)
Besides symbols, one way to write quickly is to use shortened forms of long words as well as abbreviations. It is not necessary to know standard abbreviations. You may use your own as long as you can write them quickly and read them back later. The following are some of commonly used abbreviations.
