Lecture 16a Writing a summary

Writing a Summary●Summary is a brief restatement of the essential thought of a longer originaldocument. It reproduces the theme of the original with as few words as possible.When one writes a summary, one should not interpret or comment.●It is very practical in research work. Sometimes you need to give a briefintroduction to the main ideas of a long, thick and heavy original work. And sometimes you don't have time or possibility to read all about the original work.Then you may want to read just a summary of it.●Summary should be a brief and short restatement, with all the contents to thepoint, and with an absolute loyalty to the original author.Brief and Short means a summary cannot be too long or even longer than original work.Restatement reminds you that you are writing about others’ work. To the point emphasizes that you need a good judgment to select the main ideas and omit those minor details.Loyalty to the author rules out the possibility for you to express your own idea. No personal comment is allowed in summary.● A summary may be an accurate condensation of your own work but most oftenit is an objective restatement of others’ work.In a summary, the "I" that refers to the original author should be replaced by" the author" or "this essay". No "I" is allowed in a summary.●Summary writing can offer students various practices.First, you should read the original essay and try to understand it correctly. This is the understanding ability.Then based on what you understand you need to focus on the main points. This is the selecting judgment.Lastly you should organize your selected points into a composition. This is your expressing ability.●Thus, writing a good summary requires a high proficiency in English.●Types of summariesThere are at least two kinds of accounts, which are called summaries. One is called the analytic summary and the other the paraphrase summary. The major difference between these two kinds of summaries is in the perspective from which you write them.In the analytic summary, you speak in your own person, explaining what the author of the work you are summarizing has said, and speaking of the author as a separate person.In a paraphrase-summary, as in a paraphrase, you pretend to be the author of the work and speak from her or his point of view. The summary seems to be a simplified version of the work written by the same author.Imagine you want to write a summary for "In Alaska: Where the Chili isChilly," an article written by Gregory Jaynes about Fran Tate, who started a Mexican restaurant in Barrow, Alaska. If you are writing an analytic summary, your summary may start like this:For Gregory Jaynes, Fran Tate embodies the astonishing independence and toughness that is typical of Alaska at its best. Tatehas opened a Mexican restaurant-- an unlikely enterprise-- in BarrowAlaska.But if you write a paraphrase summary, then your summary might start as follows:In the fall of 1978, Fran Tate wrote some hot checks to finance the opening of a Mexican restaurant in Barrow, Alaska. All the banks shehad applied to for financing had turned her down. But Fran was surethat Barrow lusted for a Mexican restaurant, so she went ahead withher plans.In writing the summary (also abstract), one needs to give attention to the following guideline principles1)Center on the major theme of the book, keep essential information, maintainemphasis of the original information, and leave out unimportant details.2)Be faithful to the original, reflect accurately what the author says, do notintrude your own opinions or add information not presented in original.3)Summarize the entire passage; do not summarize only part of the passage.4)Write the summary in continuous prose, not in the form of an outline.5)Convey the message fully and clearly so that the reader does not have to refer tothe original passage. That is, the summary should be self-contained.6)Write the summary by paraphrasing or restating the author’s ideas in your ownwords, simple and concrete. Do not make the summary a patchwork made up of phrases and sentences quoted from the original passage.7)Quotations may be used to support the summary statements, but you do notneed to copy the original passage virtually word for word.8)When the author’s words are exactly quoted, enclose them in quotation marks.9)Use no more words than required. When no requirement for length is specified,one third of the original length suffices for the purpose.10)In order to make the summary concise, clear and easy to read and understand,you may(1)Drop insignificant details, only keep main points;(2)Reduce examples(3)Simplify descriptions(4)Eliminate repetitions;(5)Replace sentences with clauses, clauses with phrases;(6)Use general words to summarize or generalize specific details.(7)Put the main points of a dialogue into indirect speech.(8)Use shortest possible transitions.Summary writing practiceSummary Practice 2, p.p. 8-10, about “Territoriality”, with reference summaries on p.11, <<英语写作自学辅导>>, and p.3, <<英语写作辅导教材>>, respectively.Summary Practice: “Ordinary aspirin is truly a wonder drug”, p.p.5-6, <<英语写作辅导教材>>, reference on p.6Summary Practice: “How to give a good speech”, p.p.6-8, <<英语写作辅导教材>>, reference on p.8.。

Try to follow the logical order of the original.
Consider yourself as a summarizing machine; you are simply repeating what the source text says, in fewer words and in your own words. But the fact that you are using your own words does not mean that you are including your own ideas.
Taking notes does not include writing the lecture’s every word; instead, they summarize the main points in a way one will understand later. Whether relating an anecdote, describing your progress on a project, or a research, you might include summaries and abstracts with your long reports. The job is to represent the full scope and detail of the important material accurately in the fewest words.

讲座课堂用怎么写英语作文

讲座课堂用怎么写英语作文Writing an essay for a lecture class can be quite challenging as it requires a different approach compared to other types of writing. The key is to write in a conversational and informal style, while also ensuring that each paragraph stands on its own without any obvious order or logical connection. Additionally, it is important to vary the language features in each paragraph to showcase diversity in expression. Let's dive into it!Paragraph 1: So, here we are, sitting in this lecture hall, ready to absorb knowledge like sponges. The atmosphere is buzzing with anticipation and curiosity. We all know that lectures can be a bit overwhelming, but they are also an incredible opportunity to learn from experts in their fields. So, let's make the most of it!Paragraph 2: Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that lectures are like a treasure trove of information? It's like having a buffet of knowledge rightin front of us. We get to listen to professors who have dedicated their lives to their respective subjects, and they're here to share their wisdom with us. It's truly a privilege.Paragraph 3: Now, let's talk about note-taking. It's a skill that we all need to master if we want to survive in this lecture jungle. The challenge is to find a balance between writing down every single word and actually understanding the concepts. Personally, I like to jot down key points and then expand on them later. It helps me stay engaged without getting lost in a sea of scribbles.Paragraph 4: Ah, the dreaded moments when the professor asks if anyone has any questions. It's like a game of hide and seek, where we desperately try to avoid eye contact and hope someone else will ask the question we're too afraid to ask. But here's the thing – asking questions is crucialfor our learning journey. It shows that we're actively thinking and engaging with the material. So, let's muster up the courage and speak up!Paragraph 5: Let's not forget about the importance of active listening during lectures. It's not just aboutsitting there and nodding along. We need to truly absorb what the professor is saying, ask ourselves questions, and connect the dots. It's like putting together a puzzle –each piece of information is valuable, and it's up to us to make sense of it all.Paragraph 6: Finally, let's talk about the post-lecture reflection. Once the lecture is over, it's essential totake some time to digest what we've learned. This can be through discussing the material with classmates, writing a summary, or even just pondering the key takeaways.Reflection helps solidify the knowledge and allows us tosee the bigger picture.In conclusion, writing an essay for a lecture class requires a conversational and informal tone, with each paragraph standing independently without a clear order or logical connection. By varying the language features ineach paragraph, we can showcase diversity in expression. So,let's embrace the challenge and make the most of our lecture experiences!。
