Some tips...

Ok, below you can find some tips on summary writing:

What is a summary?
It is a record in a reader's own words. A summary omits details.

What is a good summary?
It should answer basic questions about the article:
What is the main idea?
What are the main supporting points?
What are the major pieces of evidence?


1. read the article.
2. re-read the article and underline important ideas.

Now we can start!

1. Write one single, very broad statement, to say what it is about. (In "/name of article/" /author/ states... )
2. Write the main points that are made in the article. Use your own words.
3. Write in one sentence the main point that the author makes in the conclusion.

Make sure:
- that the main idea of the text is not lost
-you do not give your own ideas or critisisms as part of the summary
- you replace (I with the writer's actual surname or he/she; you with "people" or "they")
