Its not hard as you think it is

A summary is a short statement with only the main points from the original test. The summary questions of SPM paper 2 emphasis on the student ability to recognize important points. You need to extract the main ideas from the given passage and express them in clear, concise and grammatical English.

A word is a word. It can be a one letter word such as a, or I. It can also be a long word such as environmentalist. You must be careful of how you count compound nouns. Each word has to be counted as the number of words used. Sometimes they consist of more than one word ( for example : maternity ward ). We have to count all the words.

Contractions such as 'won't " and " wouldn't are counted as two words.

Proper nouns, for example the names of people, places, rivers and countries are counted as one word. For example :

a) Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi

b) Genting Highlands

c ) Pahang River
