Question

In your own words, what is a summary? What should it include?

Answer 1

A summary is a brief statement or restatement of main points, especially as a conclusion to a work. Or we can say condensed version of the text.

It should include the main idea of each paragraph, and the main evidence supporting that idea, unless it is not relevant to the article or essay as a whole.

Answer 2

A summary is a small paragraph describing what happens in a story or in anything else but it basically shortens the subject, a summary should include small parts of a story like the MAIN topic, and the points of view.

Hope this helped.
