TIPS ON HOW TO WRITE SUMMARIES



Checklist : Summaries

                  A good summary should:

                  1. give the overall intention or gist of a passage
                  2. pick out the most important points of the 
                      argument or narrative
                  3. show how the subordinates (i.e. minor or not
                      so important) points fit in with the passage
                  4. separate examples and opinions from the 
                      facts
                  5. where directed, extract particular items from
                      the original;
                  6. be set out in a clear-cut manner
                  7. be written in simple, clear, precise English
                      with no ambiguities (i.e. unintended      
                      meanings)
