Dr.Soma, your voice is magnificent!

[@SomaxDatta]

Nyisha. The trick is to practice before you turn in your assignment. Practice writing summaries of things you like to read. Magazine articles, website, anything. Then you'll have more practice for things you're graded on.

[@SomaxDatta]

Chantel, did you find the video useful? Try practicing on passages that you enjoy/ blogs, magazines, whatever you read. When you summarize for school you'll find the practice useful.

Soma, this is very helpful. Thank you! I am in need for this right now because I have an upcoming deadline for summarizing an essay. However, I would like to make a favor. Can you please do a good summary example where all these points are highlighted. I learn better when I can actually see how it is done.
Thanks!!! God bless to you.

Could you send me slides of this summary Soma Datta?

[@robertagallant683]

Soma, is summarizing easy? If no, why?

[@SomaxDatta]

Roberta, it's not easy. The reason is our brains have to complete multiple steps in the critical thinking process. First we have to read and comprehend. Then we interpret the author's intent, and finally, we choose the idea that most clearly communicates that intent. It's a lot harder to summarize than most people think, and thus, they don't spend enough time practicing.
