How to Write a Summary.
- State the main point first.
- Emphasize the main stages of though.
- State the article’s conclusion.
- Summarize rather than give a table of contents.
Example:
Wrong:
This article covers the topic of measuring the extent of global deforestation. The article discusses reasons for concern, the technique, the results, and the project’s current goal.
Right:
According to the author of “Seeing the Forest,” the extent of global deforestation was difficult to measure until satellite remote sensing techniques were applied. Measuring the extent of global deforestation is important because of concerns about global warming and species extinctions. The technique compares old infrared LANDSAT images with new images. The authors conclude the method is accurate and cost effective.
- Keep this short: 3 to 7 sentences.
