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.

I am working with a parent who insists that I always ignore his child’s aggressive behavior. How can I convince this father that
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Explain how ignoring in any form wouldn't be advantageous at all.

Explanation:

Ignoring any person's/child's feelings, no matter how negative or aggressive, can lead to dangerous outcomes, and they would probably feel ignored, leading to self-isolation. Another outcome could be that they would begin to ignore you, and debates would become arguments, and arguments become rejection. If the parent persists, ask them what good would come out of ignoring, then ask them if it's worth it.

Why do you think public restrooms should provide free feminine hygiene products
Serjik [45]

They should be free, because you don't want to be in the middle of shopping, and start your menstrual cycle. Then when you go in the restrooms to get a pad or tampon, they end up being 50 cents each, and with everyone having credit cards, they don't have change anymore. So you end up leaking. And if you're like me, you aren't wearing a shirt that fits, so EVERYONE that walks by sees it. So it'd be a lot easier if the pads and tampons in the restrooms are free.
