The three major parts of a summary are the introduction, the body, and the conclusion.
1. Introduction: The introduction provides context and background information. It introduces the main topic or subject of the summary. In this part, you need to identify the source material you are summarizing, such as an article, book, or research paper. You should also include the author's name and any relevant details about the source.
2. Body: The body of the summary contains the main information from the source material. It includes the key points, main arguments, and supporting details of the original text. Your goal is to condense the information while preserving the main ideas and facts. It is important to prioritize the most important information and omit any unnecessary details. Use your own words to rephrase or restate the original content, making sure to maintain the overall meaning.
3. Conclusion: The conclusion wraps up the summary by providing a concise summary of the main points discussed in the body. It should not introduce any new information but instead reiterate the essential ideas from the source material. The conclusion should be brief and capture the overall essence of the original text.
To create an effective summary, focus on keeping it concise, clear, and objective. Avoid including personal opinions, interpretations, or additional information not present in the source material. Finally, always remember to cite your sources appropriately when using someone else's work.
