Answer:

A summary should only include the important of main details of the text. You should always put in the title, author, evidence from the passage, and transition words. Don't forget good grammar! Summaries should always be quick and snappy, no more than 6-8 sentences.

Answer:

Read the whole paragraph, write down the key points/main points of the paragraph, write the summary only using the key points. The summary should be shorter than the paragraph (I mean if the paragraph comes on 10 lines, then summary should come on 5 lines). Hope it helps!!!
