Note-taking Skill Using visual elements
Instructors often use visual elements in their classes. They sometimes refer to pictures
in a textbook or show photographs and charts on a screen. They also draw simple
pictures and diagrams on the board. To use a visual element in your notes, you can . . .
• first copy the picture or diagram into your notes.
• then label the picture and write notes around it.
You don’t need to be a great artist to use pictures in your notes. Even a rough
drawing will help you remember the contents of the class.

A. Look at the picture of a leaf used in a biology class and read the instructor’s
explanation. Then finish labeling the student’s drawing and write notes.
The Structure of a Leaf The Structure of a Leaf

Stem Stem

Petiole
connects
leaf to
stem, pipe,
water

The leaves are the food-making part of a plant. The petiole connects the
leaf to a stem on the plant. The petiole is like a small tube or pipe. It carries
water and minerals to the leaf. Water goes from the petiole to the midrib. The
midrib runs from the bottom to the top of the leaf. Then small veins distribute
this water all through the leaf. The petiole also turns the leaf toward the sun.
This is important because leaves use energy from the sun to make food from
carbon dioxide in the air and water. This process is called photosynthesis.
B. Look at the picture of the tree and Parts of a Tree
listen as an instructor describes the
parts of a tree. Copy the drawing
and make notes.

ONLINE C. Go online for more practice using visual elements in your notes.

Listening Skill Understanding cause and effect
A cause is the action that makes something happen. An effect is what happens as
a result. In a sentence, the cause can come before the effect or after it.
Connecting words like so and because show a cause or an effect. Listen for them
carefully. So shows an effect. Because shows a cause.
Pollution was a poison to the frogs, so the frogs in the pond died.
cause effect

The frogs survived because their camouflage matched the leaves.

Listening 1. Circle the cause in each statement. Underline the effect.

1. Katydids are hard to see because of their green color.

2. Predators can’t see the katydids, so the katydids stay safe.

3. It’s hard to see the cryptic frog because it uses camouflage.

Pronunciation Schwa /ә/ in unstressed syllables
The schwa sound is the most common vowel sound in English. It is the same
sound speakers make when they pause and say Uh. It is a very relaxed sound.
Unstressed syllables often use the schwa. In dictionaries the pronunciation of the
schwa is usually shown with the symbol /ә/.
The word banana is a good example of the schwa. The first and last syllables have
the schwa. Note that the stressed syllable /næ/ is longer than the other syllables.
/bə  ’næ nə/

The underlined syllables in these words also use the schwa. These are all
unstressed syllables. Remember that any vowel can have the schwa sound.
a-ni-mal   poi-son   sur-vive   pre-da-tor   for-est

The schwa is common in unstressed syllables, but it is sometimes used in stressed


syllables.
hun-gry   mo-ney

A. Listen and write the words. There is one unstressed syllable with
the schwa sound in each word. Circle the syllable that contains the
schwa sound.

1. camouflage 5.

2. 6.

3. 7.

4. 8.

B. Listen again. Then practice with a partner. Take turns saying the words.

C. Listen to these pairs of words. Which word has the schwa sound in the
underlined syllable? Circle your answers.

1. contain concrete

2. mention apartment

3. answer another

4. program protection

5. material many

2. Is there an apartment for rent on State Street?
3. We need to find another answer to the problem.
4. There’s a special program to protect the city’s water.

ONLINE E. Go online for more practice with schwa in unstressed syllables.

Speaking Skill Asking for and giving examples


When you explain something, give examples to help the listener understand your
ideas. When you don’t understand something a speaker says, ask for an example.

Giving an example: Asking for an example:


For example, . . . Can you give me an example?
For instance, . . . Do you have any examples?
Here’s an example.
