<em>Describing the most significant parts of a text is known as summarizing the text.
</em>
What summarizing a test does is teaching students to find the most important parts of the text, discard what is not relevant, keep the most significant elements of the text in order to get a final concrete idea of what the text was about. Summarizing the text is a good way for students to learn the core of a lesson or the text and remember it.
