How To settle this confusion???

I bet most of you guys who had problem in settling the summary essay, okay here are some of the information that perhaps can help you in summary writing.

Introduction

1. You will be given a fairly lengthy extract to summarize

2. The summary you need to write must not exceed 130 words

3. The summary may be a general summary of the extract or may require a certain aspect of the extract, 

    for example the reasons for or the results of an incident or event

Guidelines

1. Read the passage through several times until you can get the main message of the write
2. Make rough notes of the passage. You could first underline the main points and supporting details.
3. Arrange the notes in the right order and join them up so that they read smoothly
4. Use connectors to maintain flow and continuity
5. Do not include examples and irrelevant remarks
6. Do not include your own ideas in a summary
7. Check for length. If it is too long, you have included unnecessary details and if it is too short, you have probably left out some salient points
8. Do not leave out auxiliary verbs like " was " or articles like " a" or " an" to shorten your summary
9. Do not copy out chunks of the original passage. Use your own words as far as possible
10. Check for accuracy of ideas and language
11. State the number of words at the end of the summary

When writing an essay expressing viewpoints, each step must be logically linked to the previous one. Here is a list of the more commonly used logical and sequence connectors. There are usually used at the beginning of a sentence.

On the continuation I will prepare several connectors for you to used in your writing. Until then..

Use your brain while it's still fresh..:)
