Introduction

Hi! I'm your guide to summary writing!
 
In summary writing, you are asked to condense a selected area of text by:
 
  • reproducing facts and ideas required by the question,
  • using your own words as far as possible,
  • keeping within the word limit specified by the question in a well-constructed continuous paragraph.
 
When marking the summary, the examiners will look at 2 categories:
 
  • Content
                -   The key points you were asked to select from the passage
  • Style
                - The accuracy and quality of your writing
                - The extent to which you are able to use your own words
 
In this interactive online lesson, you shall learn how to improve your summary skills. A sample passage will be provided, together with a summary question. We shall look at both categories (content and style) separately.
 
Ready to begin? Let's start by reading the passage and the summary question! Also, download the file found below - you'll need it to complete the tasks given to you!
 
The Tasks need to be done by the end of the week and must be ready for handing up when school reopens on 7th of July.
