My classmate Julia always brings her laptop to class. While the teacher speaks, she types notes quickly. I asked her, “Why don’t you use a notebook?” She smiled and said, “Typing is faster for me, and I can organize my notes better.” She showed me how she uses folders for each subject. She also uses colors to highlight new words or grammar points. I was impressed. When I asked if she ever misses something important, she said, “If I do, I listen to the teacher’s recording again at home.” Inspired by her, I tried using my laptop too. It felt strange at first, but I got used to it. I could type more words and save my notes in the cloud. I also used a dictionary app while typing. Julia taught me that tools can make learning easier—but only if we use them well. Taking notes is not just writing what the teacher says. It’s about understanding and reviewing later. Now, I mix both styles. For grammar, I use my notebook. For vocabulary, I use my laptop. It’s about finding what works best. Thanks to Julia, I learned that good habits and the right tools help us study smarter.
