Short note Or Summary on MAKING A SUMMARY

A good summary is usually one-third of its original length. It contains the main facts. There are certain skills of making a summary: For instance, generalization, one word substitution, leaving out details and examples, use of indirect speech, avoiding a personal opinion.

We use summary to express lengthy material in short steps. A good summary is generally one third of the length. Precise must not look like a collection of disjointed sentences nor should any important or beautiful idea of the original be left. For making a precise, we should keep five skills in mind among which generalizing of ideas is an initial step. Selection of related ideas, compression of lengthy sentences, use of indirect narration and reference of the author counts very much in Precise-writing.
