 WRITE A SUMMARY 

Here in this article i am going to share some important step about summary writing. To write a perfect summary of given prose paragraph follow the below steps.

HOW TO WRITE A SUMMARY ?

1. Read the given passage carefully several times  (at least thrice ) and try to understand its main theme.
2. When you read, find out the keywords and phrase in the given passage and underline them. They are to serve as your min points.
3. The summary must be written in your own words. It should not be a haphazard extract from the original. The sentences should be carry the ideas of the passage, but not echo its language. 
4. Arrange the leading ideas, when you have grasped them, in a logical order. Read through each of your own sentences, and see that it is clear, brief and complete in itself.
5. Ask yourself whether another reader, who has not read the original passage, would get the basic idea or message correctly from your summary.
6. There is no hard and fast rule about the length of a summary. It depends on the main idea or ideas in the passage given. But roughly the expected size of a summary would be half the size of original passage. 
7. The summary must be written in indirect speech, i.e., in the third person.
8. A few introductory words like  "The speaker thinks" or "Here the author expresses" sound sensible.
9. Add no information or comment of your own.
10. The summary should usually be confined to one paragraph.
