First, study. (1) Read Introduction to Shorthand, and read the "word symbols" and "shorthand reading materials" in the textbook. Reading Introduction to Shorthand is a way to understand the source, principle, function and history of shorthand and learn shorthand well. Four exercises: practicing speed, translation, perseverance and listening' North Shorthand' (4th edition, 4 1 page, 3rd edition, page 35) are understood and valued. Correct the attitude, understanding and concept of learning shorthand. Once you start studying, you should stick to it with tenacious perseverance, tenacious learning style, determination to practice hard and fighting spirit that is not afraid of difficulties, and never give up until you reach your goal. (2) Reading Word Symbol and Shorthand Book aims at mastering the basic process of shorthand. This is an exercise to strengthen the ability of symbol recognition and must be repeated chapter by chapter. Never practice the next chapter if you are unfamiliar with this lesson, but take it seriously step by step. It may be easy at first, so don't think that "easy" can be "sloppy".

Second, accurately grasp. Accuracy is the key to learn the basic symbols of shorthand well. On the basis of "accuracy", we should improve the writing speed. The second chapter phonetic symbols, the third chapter word linking, seemingly simple, is actually the basis of the book. All friends, readers and students who get the teaching materials should spend a week or two to really master them, without any carelessness or contempt. Check whether the phonetic symbol 18 written by yourself is different from the textbook: the relationship between proportion, angle and curvature and stroke order and lines, and whether the angle, proportion and curvature of the written symbols exceed the requirements of the textbook; Whether there are sharp corners and bends at the pen collection. It is best to use transparent paper or pencil to describe in the book, and it is required that the writing of basic symbols must be "accurate" and will not affect future study.

Third, remember. Remember the "phonetic symbols" and "abbreviation methods" of each chapter. "Pinyin symbol" is what we call shorthand "character". Starting from the third chapter, each chapter introduces more than 20 ~ 50 pinyin symbols respectively. To master: (1) the shapes of these phonetic symbols; (2) their pronunciation; (3) How to write them; (4) the Chinese characters they represent; (5) The relationship between monosyllabic words, disyllabic words and disyllabic words and Chinese characters. Besides remembering, you should also write accurately. At this time, you should also pay attention to: A. proportion, B. angle, C. curvature potential, D. relationship with line, and E. pen direction. In memory, we should first remember the most commonly used words and symbols. It is best to use shorthand symbols mixed with Chinese characters in your notes and diaries, or use them while learning, which will be better.

Fourth, the soul. It is necessary to master sixteen abbreviation methods, their definitions and conditions of use. Abbreviation is the soul of shorthand, and we must pay attention to the method of abbreviation if we want to be quick. If we spell one symbol at a time, it can be two or three times faster than writing Chinese characters, but we still can't achieve the recording effect with phonetic symbols Qi Fei and phonetic symbols. Only by mastering abbreviations and using them flexibly can the recording speed be improved to amazing recording speed and effect. For example: socialism, socialist construction, socialist economic construction, socialist market economic system, Theory of Three Represents theory, working class in Deng Xiaoping Theory, China and China, people, revolution, implementation, implementation, reform and opening up, etc. If you can master and use these common words and symbols well, you can improve your confidence in learning shorthand.

Fifth, model essay. It is necessary to master and practice writing "shorthand books" repeatedly. "Shorthand reading" is the predecessor of this type of shorthand to improve the recording speed. Dictation training with model essays is a major feature of this textbook. There are about 10 thousand words of "shorthand reading materials" in the book. If you can record the articles in the textbook according to the speed of teaching, and then dictate the uncommon articles, the difference can be about three or four crosses at most. If all the articles in the textbook can be dictated to 180 ~ 200 words in one minute, then the recording speed of uncommon articles can reach 140 ~ 160/ minute. With my own application and proficiency, I can record 180 ~ 200 words/minute after half a year or more. When practicing "shorthand reading", you should first be able to read the full text fluently, listen and write on white paper without reading textbooks or homework. This is the best way to improve your speed.

Sixth, write and practice. Shorthand is written and practiced. "Writing" is a crucial learning link. Only by writing more, practicing more and applying more can you learn your shorthand symbols consciously or unconsciously in the process of writing and practicing. Don't learn shorthand by rote, which means: "Only by writing more and practicing more can you master shorthand quickly." Athletes' skills and skills are acquired through long-term repeated training. China women's volleyball team's "three obedience to one big" (three obedience, namely: from difficulty, strictness, from actual combat; One-size-fits-all training method is not only the magic weapon of China women's volleyball team, but also commonly used by foreign athletes. As the saying goes, "if a worker wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his tools first." Learning shorthand means mastering tools, because shorthand is a tool for recording language, and we must master it. Only by mastering real shorthand skills can you have real skills in work and study.

Seventh, avoid by all means. When learning shorthand, don't "fish for three days and dry the net for two days". Learning should be "practicing every day and writing all the time", using the training methods of literary and art circles, that is, "never leaving the song" and "practicing in winter" and so on. Pen and paper (book) are inseparable. If you are an office worker, when the leader comes here to give instructions and tasks, you should pick up a pen and paper in time to quickly record the leader's language, and then repeat it. After the leader leaves, you should immediately use the computer to sort it out, first, execution, second, communication, and third, filing. As a student, I should first write the eye-catching class notes of a certain subject on the cover of my class notes, so as not to let the teacher say that I "don't listen to lectures and practice shorthand, and don't do anything serious." Students' class notes are the best practice. The speaking speed of teachers in class is generally between 140 and 180 words. Record the outline and gradually take detailed notes. Generally, students who have studied for more than six months can practice in the classroom. Its advantages are: first, listen carefully in class and get important learning content; Second, I have a basic first-hand information for my comprehensive review; Third, I listened to the main points of the teacher's lecture, and my knowledge memory was firm; Fourthly, I practiced shorthand skills and skills, which laid the foundation for my future work.
