How to write a summary general summary


How to write a summary
The purpose of a summary is to pick out the main points of a text and write a new and much shorter version of it.
* Read through the text without making any notes.
* Re-read at least once more and think about it. What is the subject? What are its main points?
* List the most important ideas, leaving out examples and other information. Use only the main ideas. (Look for topic sentences at the top of a paragraph to help you find the main ideas. Be careful not to alter the original meaning.
* Think about the key points and rewrite them into a few paragraphs using your own words.
* Read your paragraphs carefully. Do they make sense? Do your sentences flow logically from one point to another?
* Revise your paragraphs. Cut unnecessary words or repetitions. Write the final version.
