Summarizing Lesson

 Hello everyone! This entry is all about how to write a good summarizing. Basically, we already learned to summarized article in primary and secondary level. But, for tertiary level we must include proper citation.

So this entry supposed to be published on the last week lecture, but I decided to post this entry with new lesson in the class for today. we learned about how to make a good summary. There was several purpose of summary such as to describe the main point and the important details of the particular essay or journals. The definition of summary is short account of the central ideas or condensation or a shortened version of text.

From my understanding, writing a summary is generally fairly short and makes it more understand to the readers. In addition, a good summary is including all of the important aspects which allow the readers understand what it is about of the particular essay. Besides that, in summarizing of an essay, we should not give the opinions, background knowledge, or any personal information.

There are three ways to make easier summary, firstly, carefully read the whole text. Secondly, identify if there any sentences that may not understand, try to read it again and not being scared with the long essay. Thirdly, after reading the essay, questioning our self what was this text is all about. After that, we can start writing the summary. Other than that, the summary should be in a complete sentence, it cover all the main point and key ideas, and it is important to use own word. The key points are the arguments or information that used to support the main idea. Moreover, the key points are developed with supporting details


Then, for your information, in the Academic Skill class, we also learned summarizing lesson. We did some practices regarding on the summary essay. For example, we practice some nursery rhymes and make the short summary of the rhymes. In order to make it interesting, we all read the rhymes together and discussed the possible answer for each of the nursery rhymes.  I hope that, I am able to write good summary and applied all the steps for making a short and understandable.
