Answer:
When writing a summary, remember that it should be in the form of a paragraph. A summary begins with an introductory sentence that states the text's title, author and main point of the text as you see it. A summary is written in your own words. A summary contains only the ideas of the original text.
As you start to write the summary, keep the following in mind:
- Write in present tense.
- Include the author and title of the work.
- Be concise—a summary should not be equal in length to the original text.
- Cite direct quotes if you use them.
- Don't put your own opinions, ideas, or interpretations into the summary.
