Post-18_Summary-template

Dear All,

I’d like to share with you a summary writing template, a special fill-in form that will help you to write article summaries in a more consistent & structured way. This is one of the skills you should develop in the course of Academic Writing you are now taking. These skills are quite important for you to master for your academic success because preparing a good summary is a way to explain better the essence of smth you have read.

The article “Title” written by NAME OF THE AUTHOR is devoted to the discussion of the problem (s) SPECIFY the PROBLEM (S) + add a quick reference to the article . First, the author draws our attention to ______________. Then s/he analyses the ___________. S/he gives an example of ______________. S/he also emphasizes that _____________. Further, the auhor suggests ________. In addition, ____________. Finally, __________. / The author concludes that _________. / In the end it is stated that ___________.

For this task you need to choose an article from the Guardian, and first explain in a sentence or two why you got interested in reading them and then choose one for summarizing. Your summary should be about 150 words and follow the standard referencing requirements, which I’ll discuss with you too.
