Symbols and abbreviations are an essential part of note-taking. Learn what they are, how to abbreviate words, and see some common abbreviations and symbols.
The video is part of the EAP Shorts series of videos from EAPFoundation.com, which provides brief overviews of different aspects of English for Academic Purposes. This video shows how to abbreviate words, for example by using the beginnings of words, omitting vowels, and abbreviating -ing ending. It also includes some of the most common abbreviations and symbols in English, such as min (minimum), e.g. (for example), approx (approximately), & (and) and = (equals/is/are). Using symbols and abbreviations is important if you want to take notes quickly and spend more time listening to the speaker.
