about Book

This PDF workbook is structured to help learners achieve developing skills in summary writing, through a structured approach to summarising text types whereby it focuses on generalising the most essential ideas from the texts, showing these ideas in a concise yet clear manner. Such detail relies on comprehensive explanations and ends with practical exercises so that a learner can be able to encapsulate information appropriately without losing the elements of clarity and coherence.

The workbook is well planned with two distinct major sections.

Explanations: This chapter is an all-inclusive introduction to the basic principles involved in the art of summary writing. It integrates several techniques specially designed to help identify the major ideas, crucial key points, and support details that exist in the text written. In addition, it addresses concrete ways on how to organise a structured summary well, avoiding extraneous words that would make the theme less cohesive than intended. It also highlights that whatever summary is created, they should reflect the true meaning of the original text, capturing its subject without altering anything. To make all this clearer, some samples of well-crafted summaries are given to be used as best practises that guide students in mastering the skill of summarization.

Exercise Questions: The workbook is more composed of interesting and informative summary writing. It is in this segment that diversified texts, which include articles, essays, and excerpts sourced from different materials, are provided, and the task of summarising into core essentials is given to the learners. In the exercises, there was a gradual build-up and strengthening of skills in summarising information towards understandable, clear, concise, and coherent formats. This workbook can be an excellent guide for an academic exercise, professional practice, or personal development for students, educators, and professionals in improving summary writing skills. It may be used in a classroom environment; for independent study, or as an adjunct to review and practice.
