Summary Writing
Gbogbo ọrọ náà
Summary writing asks you to do two things at once: read a text well, and write about it concisely. You are given a focus, such as 'the reasons the festival was cancelled', and asked to pull out only the points that answer it, then re-tell them in your own words inside a tight word limit. It is one of the most trainable tasks on the whole paper, because the method is fixed: find the relevant points, reword them, join them, stop at the limit.
This lesson teaches that method step by step and models it on short texts of our own. You will see exactly how a weak summary that copies and over-writes loses marks, and how a strong one that selects, rewords and organises gains them. Master this and you bank a block of reliable marks every session.
