                               LEO Topic Assignment : Writing a Summary 

    I choose the Process for Writing a Summary to be my topic. In my opinion, it`s important for us to learn to writing a summarize of paper.

    First of all, we need to know the importance of summary.

1. Summary can make the article more concise.

2. It can make us know the outline of article quickly.

And then, people need to learn how to write the summary:

1. Read the heading, subheadings and any bold-faced terms. It maybe include the most important topic in the paper.

2. Read the body. At this step, we just need to know the main idea and style of this paper.

3. Reread the whole paper. It should be active reading. We can underline the topic sentences and key words. After underline, we can write down the main topic in our own word.

4. Start to write the summary. In this step, we need to take care of the terminology. We can not use the same word from the article except some noun word. Also, the length of the summary should be much less than the original article.

5. Revise. When we are sure our summary is exactly true, we can just revise the paper for grammar, punctuation, style, spelling errors and so on. If feasible, we can ask someone to look at the summary. If he can easily find the main idea of the paper and tell the true story of it, I think the summary is successful.

    At last, I think people always use summary in our daily lives. For instance, we may use summary to tell something happened to our friend or we may use it to convey someone`s words. But for summarizing a paper. We need to follow the steps above to get the better effect.
