Steps in writing a summary of a text:
1) organize notes into an outline which includes main ideas and supporting points but no examples or details (dates,numbers,statistics)
2)write an introductory paragraph that begins with a frame, including an in-text citation of the source and the author as well as reporting verb (present tense) to introduce the main idea.
3) the main idea or argument needs to be included in the first sentence. Then, mention the major aspects/factors/reasons that are discussed in the article/lecture. Give a full reference for this citation at the end of the summary.
4) Support your topic sentence with the necessary reasons or arguments raised by the author/lecturer but omit all references to details, such as dates or statistics.
5)Use discourse markers that reflect the organization and controlling idea of the original.
6) Long summary, paraphrase the topic.

Why anansi and kling kling are no longer friends ?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Because they argued.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the text we learned that Anansi and kling kling argued and after that, they stopped being friends. This caused Anansi to create several traps to catch Kling Kling, who always noticed them because he was very smart.

Although we do not know the reason for the argument between them, we know that it was a serious discussion, because it hindered their friendship in a very strong way.
