While listening and taking notes, you don’t need to write down every word in full. Using symbols and abbreviations can allow you to take notes more quickly. Next time you need to take notes, try using some of these: ∵/because, ∴/ therefore, 5 / five, / up, C20 / 20th century, 20 K / twenty thousand, diff. / difference.

表示长度单位 centimetre →cm, kilometer →km
常用的单词和短语 for example →e.g.，
and the rest→etc.，number →No.
一些单词和词组可以借鉴数学运算中的符号来表示 equal → “=”
有一些单词可以用常见的符号代替 dollar → “$” ，and→ “&”
