書かき込こみに関かんして注ちゅう意いすべきことをいくつか挙あげておきます。

一ひとつは、詳くわしく線せんを引ひいたり、きれいに記き号ごうをつけたりすることに気きを取とられないでほしい、ということです。

色いろつきのボールペンや蛍けい光こうペンなどを使つかって、本ほんや資し料りょうに、きれいに線せんを引ひいたり、書かき込こみをいれたりしている人ひとを見みかけますが、こういう人ひとに限かぎって、内ない容ようは頭あたまに入はいっていないものです。

あくまでも大だい事じなのは、文ぶん章しょうを素す早ばやく正ただしく理り解かいすることです。書かき込こみはフリーハンド（注）でスピーディーに出でできればよいのです。あとで自じ分ぶんが読よみ直なおしたときに理り解かいできればよいのですから、それ以い上じょうの丁てい寧ねいさはムダ以い外がいの何なに物ものでもありません。

（注ちゅう）フリーハンド：定じょう規ぎなどの器き具ぐを使つかわないで書かくこと

  • だ / ですN54 times in this passage

    The copula linking a noun or na-adjective to the subject — plain だ / polite です, 'is/am/are'.

    色つきのボールペンや蛍光ペンなどを使って、本や資料に、きれいに線を引いたり、書き込みをいれたりしている人を見かけますが、こういう人に限って、内容は頭に入っていないものです。

    I often see people using colored ballpoint pens or highlighters to neatly underline passages or make notes in books and materials, but those very people often fail to absorb the content.
