Prepare to Listen and Take Notes
Predict Causes and Effects
learn how to recognize lecture language that signals

3. Listen to four excerpts from a lecture on computer
voices in cars. Follow these steps for each excerpt:
• As you listen, write down the lecture language for
cause or effect
• Pause the recording when you hear the tone
• With the recording paused, circle what you expect
the professor to give next: a cause or an effect.
Then write a prediction about the information to
come
• Start the recording again and listen to the end of
the excerpt. Write the actual cause or effect and
check your prediction
Note-taking Strategy
Use Arrows to Show the Relationship between
Causes and Effects
One way to show the relationship between causes
and effects in your notes is to use arrows
For clarity, an arrow should always point toward the
effect
4. Read these sentences from the lecture on
