Note-taking in Consecutive Interpreting Part 3 Dear classmates and teacher, now I will continue with points four, five

and six. Which are negation, emphasis and verticality. First, negation. To deny a word, symbol or expression we have two options: mark them with a line or use the word no. For example, as you can see on the board, if we use OK to indicate agree, then for disagree we will use OK as well but with a line. Now, the second option was to use the word no, so instead of marking the word OK we would just add no before. Which in some cases turns out to be better and less confusing. Now, emphasis. To emphasize a word we just have to underline it once or twice if we are using a superlative. For example, here we have the word interesting, first we abbreviate the word and then we underline it once for very interesting and twice for extremely interesting. We can also use a circle or a dotted line, as you can see here with the expression might be useful. And finally, verticality. When we use verticality, we take notes from top to bottom instead of from left to right. This allow us to group ideas in a way that when we come back to read our notes it will be much easier to convey the speaker's speech. Now, we have two types of verticality. I will explain the first one which is stacking. Stacking consist of placing different elements of the text above or below one another according to what come first on the text. For example, we have the following sentence: The report on Western Europe is an interesting document. First of all, we abbreviate all the words. Then, since report is the subject of the sentence we put it first and below it we place Western Europe, as for the verb we can omit it. Finally, we place the adjective interesting and we can omit document because we can assume that if we are taking about a report it is going to be a document. Thanks all for listen, now I will leave you with my classmate, so she can finish our presentation.
