广东高考英语指导How to write a summary?

Don’t copy the sentences in the text.

Use another word or phrase that has the same or similar meaning.

Use different sentence structures to express the same idea.

如果给定的阅读材料是一则故事，应该用最简练的语言来说明故事讲述了什么，不能拖泥带水讲细节，而且最好讲出故事给你的启示或其中的一个道理。比如说，This story tells how a teacher’s word saved a shy and unconfident child and helped him find himself and hold on to his dreams. It tells us that teachers’ words can make difference to a child’s life.
 如果是说明性或描述性短文，就必须用概括性的文字说明一现象。比如可以概括如下This article point out the common phenomenon —— rare animals cannot escape being hurt and killed by human being.

The article gives the view that teachers should let students correct their  mistakes by  themselves. Students are able to correct their own mistakes and teachers’ frequent correction will make children unable to judge their own work. (35words)

4）Some people think students’ mistakes should be corrected by themselves and it is wrong for the teachers to do it for them too often in school. It will make the children dependent on the teachers.　(35 words)

eg：
1。The author tells us the importance of self-learning for children. Not only should the teacher help the students to correct their mistakes, but also they should depend themselves to correct their own mistakes. (33)

2。This passage discusses the importance of self-learning for children. Students should have the chance to correct their own mistakes, learn-by-doing and learn from each other, not just the teacher.  (29 words)

议论性或论说文，概括时则要尽可能客观简要地转述阅读材料的观点。 概括对方观点首先是要转换视角，即以“第三人称”或“无人称”来概括。
