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.

Match the vocabulary term with the correct phrase. 1. develops physical fitness   2. how far in any direction a part of the body
Vikki [24]
1. Exercise develops physical fitness.
2. Range of motion is how far any body part can move in any direction.
3. Muscle myofibrils are made of both thick and thin filaments. These filaments are the used in muscle contractions. The thick filaments and thin filaments slide along each other during a muscle contraction.
4. Lactic acid is removed from muscles when there is an increased amount of blood flow (usually during exercise).
5. Posture is the way a person holds their body when sitting or standing.
6. Varicose veins occur when the veins are weakened and become twisted over time. Normal veins will flow in one direction and there is no back flow because of the valves. When veins are weakened and the valves don’t work properly, the blood can collect in your legs.
7. Antagonistic muscles pair with agonist muscles (best example is the bicep-tricep pair). This means that as one muscle contracts, the other will relax.
