Summary Writing

A summary is a shortened version containing


the key points in as few words as necessary. It
tests the candidate’s ability to form content
points in a clear and concise approach to
continuous writing. Writing a summary
emphasises four basic skills:
1. Identifying key points of the
passage,
2. articulating in your own
words,
3. sequencing points cohesively
4. pay attention to the word count.
Language.
a. Write in your own words as much as possible.

b. No need to find synonyms for technical objects, e.g.


solar heaters, and only change words when
appropriate.

c. Find precise words to use and vary your choices.


Writing style

Express the key points clearly, succinctly


and fluently using a formal tone of
writing. There is no need for an
introduction and conclusion. Start by
rewording the question and make the
ending string.
Do not include examples,
repetition, direct speech,
figurative language, and
minor details.
Organise and sequence points cohesively by
connecting your ideas into a paragraph. Aim
to write in complex sentences rather than
simple or compound structures and make sure
that the spelling, punctuation, and grammar are
correct.
Word Limit

Always write within the word


count.
