When writing notes, don't use the exact words. I honestly think all of that should be included in notes.
If you are using a pen and paper, it could help if you Italicized words and highlighted others so the most important things to know ere easy to see. I can't help anymore, sorry if I did badly.
What Notes can I make from this?
Despite its size, Canada shares its border with just one country, the United States. At 5,525 miles, it's the longest two-nation land border in the world.
The ties between Canadians and Americans are long and strong. Every day, more than 300,000 people cross the border for work, school and travel. As the Peace Arch that straddles the boundary out West notes, we are "children of a common mother" and "brethren dwelling together in unity."
Native people lived in what we call Canada for thousands of years before European explorers — mainly the French and British — arrived in the 16th century. Each group claimed land for its king. These disputes spilled over into what is now the United States.

Its fine, thank you tho. You answered some of my questions.
When taking or making notes, use "keywords" or words that highlight the main points you want to remember. What you copied and pasted above deals with two topics. One is the border between Canada and the USA, and how it is crossed frequently because the two nations have close ties. What are the main points? The second topic is about Native Americans and how their conflicts with Europeans (and each other?) also crossed that border. The two together suggest what? A few words in your notes should provide a clear idea of what you need to remember, or be reminded of. NOTE: it's always best to take notes (or make them) in longhand, not on a keyboard. You will remember them much better if you have to actually write them instead of just type them.
