Attention This isn't more of a knowledge or skill, but rather your ability. To memorize the text better and reproduce it in a notebook without problems, you need to concentrate as much as possible. It is worth abstracting from every rustle and not being distracted by the landscape outside the window. Listen carefully and memorize. Good memory The second superpower that saves time and nerves of a schoolboy. If you belong to the number of such lucky people and memorize material on the fly, congratulations. You will write an exposition without any problems. But if your memory fails, try to represent the text in images and make small notes during the first reading.
Concentration When you have listened carefully to the text, it is important not to panic. Don't worry about running out of time or making mistakes. Don't ponder why spaceships are plowing the expanse of the universe. And take control and concentrate on working step by step, using nine useful tips.
Literacy The instructor takes into account speech, factual, spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors. If you've been diligently studying the rules of Russian, your chances of getting a good score are great. But when everything is not so smooth, use cunning tricks that will help you avoid mistakes.
Savvy . It comes in handy when a student, while listening to a text, has time to mark the beginning and end of paragraphs, take notes, and abbreviate words. You may not have such a good memory, but you need to learn how to organize yourself. With wit, you can write an exposition as well as a student with a great hard drive. The ability to write quickly. This is an optional skill. But when you need to write a paper in 90 minutes, it helps a lot. But it's a good idea not to overdo it, otherwise you might make a lot of mistakes, typos, and misspellings. You can get your grade lowered.
If you're good at these six things, you'll have an easier time on your 11th grade language exam. It's in the form of an essay. Good luck with your preparation!
You've definitely heard from your teacher more than once about how to properly structure your paper. Let's go over the plan again.
1) Listen carefully to the text when you read it for the first time. In the process, identify the topic and style of the text. Try to remember the key sentences of the text.
2) Actively participate in the discussion of the text. Challenge yourself to retell it. This way it will settle more tightly in your head.
3) Then the whole class makes a plan. Write down the points in your draft - these are your future paragraphs. For convenience, leave a decent amount of space between each of the subheadings so you can mark key phrases there during the second reading.
4) Don't try to write down everything after your teacher. While you're writing one sentence, you'll miss the next two sentences. Mark important information - names, places, key descriptions. This will make it easier for you to reproduce the whole text.
5) Now retell the text in detail on your draft. When it's ready, reread it several times - in case you remember some facts that you've forgotten.
6) When everyone has finished working with the draft, the teacher may call someone to read the text. Listen carefully to your classmate, as his version may contain moments that you do not remember.
7) Check your spelling and punctuation. You are not sure about the spelling of a word or punctuation - rewrite the sentence. Getting a mark like 3/10 for an essay because of avoidable mistakes is pretty frustrating.
8) Carefully rewrite your text on your proofreading sheet. Try not to make any blunders, as they can get you a lower grade.
