To summarize a paragraph you must first read a passage carefully, finding the main ideas and supporting ideas. Then you must briefly write down those ideas in a few sentences or a paragraph. It is important to understand the difference between a summary and a paraphrase. A paraphrase is simply a rewriting of a passage in your own words.
If you were to write a summary you would need to
Write one sentence that describes, in your words, how the key words you circled are connected to each other. For example, in a paragraph on Lincoln, that sentence might be, "President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 to end slavery." Using neutral, unbiased language is vital when accurately summarizing any text. In other words, your summary should be written objectively, without opinion or feeling, rather than subjectively, which would include personal opinions and feelings.
Add one or two supporting sentences. These sentences might summarize, in concise words, the detail or description in the paragraph, such as "The Greek islands are beautiful" or "Most people prefer brand S jam."
Compare your summary to the original paragraph. Avoid adding information or opinions that are not in the original paragraph. For example, the author may have wonderful statements about Sweden, but avoid writing statements such as, "I would love to visit Sweden someday" in your paragraph.
Compare your paragraph's first sentence with the first sentence of the original paragraph. They should not be exactly the same, but they should present similar points.
