    Summary Writing

    Grade VII
    • Read the passage a number of times
    • Keep the word limit in mind
    • Underline the points most important
    • Figure out the central idea
    • YOU MUST USE YOUR OWN WORDS
    • Write the summary without looking at the passage (you
    can take reference from your notes)

    Steps to writing a
    summary
    • If there is a dialogue in the passage and you need to
    include it in your summary, write it in indirect speech
    • Avoid writing examples and the author’s thoughts (unless
    very necessary)

    Points to remember
    • All snakes are hunters and predators, feeding on the animals and sometimes their eggs. Having
    no limbs, snakes cannot hold their preys down to bite; hence they usually swallow them whole.
    Poisonous snakes sometimes do immobilize their preys with their venom to make consumption
    easier. It is truly a myth that poisonous snakes attack humans for food. Humans can never be
    their targets for food as we are normally too large for them to swallow. in cases where snakes
    do bite, these attacks are usually defensive ones and the venom injected is normally little or
    sometimes even none. The full, fatal dose of the venom is only released on smaller animals
    which the snakes can swallow easily. Besides helping in the killing and immobilizing of their
    preys, the poison also acts as digestive agents for snakes. (words: 136)

    • IDEAL SUMMARY:
    Snakes are predators, feeding on animals and their eggs. They swallow their prey whole. They may also inject their
    prey with venom. This stops the prey from moving and also acts as a digestive juice. Snakes do not eat human. They
    might only attack to defend themselves. (words 47)

    Let’s Discuss
    • We are bombarded by many advertisements every day. Vendors try all means and ways to gain
    our attention and sell us their products or services. Advertisements appear everywhere; on
    television programs, radios, in the papers, magazines, pamphlets and so on. Advertisements are
    actually very useful though we sometimes feel annoyed when they interrupt our favorite
    television programs. They provide us with free information on the products and services. There
    are two types of advertisements. The informative advertisements are the ones which provide us
    with the details of the products or services. This information is especially useful if the product or
    service is new. For instance, when we need to buy a computer, advertisements describing the
    latest models and their different functions would be extremely helpful. However, only a minority
    of the advertisements are informative ones. Many of them belong to the second category -- the
    persuasive kind. These advertisements not only tell us more about the products, at the same time,
    they persuade customers to buy them by claiming that their products are superior to the rivalry
    ones. These claims may sometimes be untrue. (words: 184)

    • IDEAL SUMMARY:
    There are many advertisements everywhere that catch our attention. They are quite useful as they
    give us information on the product. This kind of advertisement is called the informative type. But
    these are few. Many types of ads are persuasive in which buyers are shown that the product is the
    best, which can be false, and they must buy it. (words: 60)

    ANSWER
    Once a crow decided to be a peacock so he got some of their feathers and stuck them to his tail. But
    when the crow went to the peacocks, they recognized him and threw him out. Sadly, the crow went
    back to the other crows and began to copy his father’s actions. He wanted to fit in with everyone but
    his mother implied that he didn’t have to be like everyone else

    Students who submitted


    the assignment
    • When one hears the term “reality” applied to a television show,
    one might expect that the events occurred naturally or, at the least,
    were not scripted, but this is not always the case.  Many reality
    shows occur in unreal environments, like rented mansions
    occupied by film crews.  These living environments do not reflect
    what most people understand to be “reality.”  Worse, there have
    been accusations that events not captured on film were later
    restaged by producers.  Worse still, some involved in the
    production of “reality” television claim that the participants were
    urged to act out story lines premeditated by producers.  With such
    accusations floating around, it’s no wonder many people take
    reality TV to be about as real as the sitcom.   

    Take out a pen and a


    paper..
    • Screech!  When a driver pushes on the brake pedal, it
    starts a process that causes the vehicle to stop.  You
    literally trust braking systems with your life every time
    you get into a vehicle or cross a busy intersection, but
    how does this process work?  It begins when the pedal is
    pushed.  At this moment brake fluid is released into the
    area where the braking mechanisms are located.  As the
    fluid collects, leverage is created, which causes a friction
    to be applied.  If the braking system is functioning
    properly, this friction will create a force that will cause
    the wheels to stop and allow you to reach your
    destination safely. 

    Last one
    • Reality TV shows are not very realistic because they are
    filmed in unrealistic places, may contain restaged events,
    and may be scripted.
    • When you step on the brakes, fluid is stored in a chamber
    that allows the car to stop.
