M:And then, the other side says, “Hold it, not so fast! For all those years you were in the
army, you planned to go to college so that you would have many job possibilities to choose
from. You’ve planned your whole life around going to college. And now ...”
W:I can see it. It’s true that with your experience in the army, you could do excellent work

You will get better jobs.

W:Hey, John, can I talk to you for a minute?
M:Sure, what’s up?
W:I wanted to let you know about a book club I joined a few months ago. I know you do a
lot of reading, so I thought you might want to come with me next month.
M:Oh, that sounds like fun. When does the group meet?
W:Usually the last Saturday of the month at 7:30 in the evening. Is that too late for you?
M:No, I think that’s OK. What do you talk about in the group?
W:Well, every month we choose a new book, and then during the next meeting, we
discuss it.
M:What books have you read?
W:Quite a lot. Recently we have readThe Beautiful MindandThe Great Gatsby. Now
we’re readingThe Kite Runner.
M:The Kite Runner? I’ve heard that’s a good book. What’s it about?
W:It’s about a boy who grows up in Afghanistan during the 1980s.
M:That sounds interesting. I’d love to come.
W:Great! The next meeting will be held in two weeks, so you still have time to read the
book.

and only 25% writing. So don’t try to write down every single word the teacher says. Ignore
what is unimportant and write in phrases not complete sentences. Second, leave spaces
and lines between main ideas. You may want to add some information later. I find that
some of you are good at making use of color, mapping web and symbols such as arrows,
circles and boxes. I highly recommend these tools to all of you, because the use of them
makes the outline more easily readable and interesting than the blocks of text. It also
makes sure that important words stand out. Here are some examples ...
