What are some tips to write summary and central idea of any passage or article?

Answer 1

Hello I am Jacqueline and I am happy to suggest tips on summary writing of a passage or article. Below are some tips I have provided.

1. First, read the passage or article thoroughly. Look for the thesis statement within the piece.
2. Write down the main idea, the thesis or theme of the written piece. Take note of what you believe to be the main idea.
3. Read the written piece again for more clarity and take note of any central points or ideas.
4. Do not write everything word for word, it is a summary so just take note of topics, concepts and ideas presented in the written piece.
5. Summarize your findings in your own words.
6. Reread your writing summary.
