biloba tree which has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. In
the United States, Europe, and Asia, many people are taking Ginkgo supplements
and have enjoyed several benefits such as improved memory and sharpened
thinking.
Many scientific studies prove that Ginkgo extract has several benefits to the
human body. It has been proven to improve blood flow to the brain. This unique
benefit has led many to use Ginkgo supplements to treat ailments such as Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Alzheimer9s, dementia, attention-deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD), depression, dyslexia, migraine, and drug addiction.

In several medical studies, it was discovered that using Ginkgo extract improves
blood circulation. Ginkgo supplements, therefore, can be used to treat diseases
such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and can help in the recovery from
stroke. Ginkgo also gives significant benefits to people suffering from asthma,
vertigo, kidney disease, glaucoma, diabetes, and cancer. Also, people taking
Ginkgo supplements were found to have better memory and showed fewer signs of
aging.
The Ginkgo supplements are safe to take 3 to 5 times daily for maximum health
benefits. The supplements can be taken with other medicines and rarely cause
adverse side effects. Any person, young and old, can take the Ginkgo supplement,
so share the benefits of health with your family today!

Thank you for retelling such wonderful story! How did you do it? Kindly read the
descriptions written on the first column, then tell if you have done it or not by putting
a check (/) either on YES or NO. Make sure to select only one between the two options
in every description.

Descriptions YES NO
I wrote only one important part or idea of the story.
I wrote only my favorite parts of the story.
I wrote only the most interesting part of the story.
I copied the exact words, phrases, sentences or dialogue in the
story.
I added new information related to the story.
I quoted some lines from the story.
I added comments and opinions on the story

If you answered YES to at least one of the descriptions, you actually have done
the common mistakes of retelling or summarizing a story. But do not worry because
this module will help you improve and learn more about it.

What is It

Now, let us study the concepts related to your activity.

Summarizing is a short restatement of the main idea of the text. The output
is called a Summary. It is the shortened version, ideally, only one-third of the original
text. It contains the main points and important details of the text and should be
written in your own words.

For you to do proper summarizing, there are tips you can actually follow.

Tips in summarizing:

1. Read the original text not just once but several times. Make sure to
comprehend it well.
2. Identify the text structure (compare-contrast, cause-effect, sequence,
descriptive, question-answer, and problem-solution) by looking into how
the relationships between ideas are established.
3. Take note or highlight the important details in the text.
4. After getting the main idea and important details, write your preliminary
summary.
5. Make sure to use your own words.
6. Check if your work does not go stray from the original text.
7. Read it again and make necessary revision or editing.

 lOMoARcPSD|16103683

Aside from the general tips, you must also learn that there are various
techniques that you can use in summarizing academic texts.

Techniques in Summarizing:

1. Use of Graphic Organizers

The first technique is using graphic organizers. You may use <Who, What, When,
Where, Why, and How= as guide questions in making or using your graphic organizer.
Provided here are three examples of graphic organizers that you can use depending
on the kind of text you are going to summarize.

1.1. The first graphic organizer will require you to supply key points from the
text as well as the supporting details.

Key Point 1 ___________________________________

•Supporting Details

Key Point 2 ___________________________________

•Supporting Details

Key Point 3 ___________________________________

•Supporting Details

1.2. The second graphic organizer requires you to provide important

information from the text by answering the questions written inside the
circles.

 lOMoARcPSD|16103683

1.3. The third graphic organizer will help you identify and organize the main
ideas as well as the other supporting details and evidences from the text.
Using this will help you write a good summary.

What is the main idea of the text?

What are the supporting details?

What are the evidences or examples given?

2. Outline (traditional or modern)

The second technique in summarizing is through outlining. Yes, it is also a good

strategy that you can use in summarizing.
The sample given shows that through outlining you can easily organize the key
points, supporting points, evidences, and other important details needed in making
a good summary. You can decide whether to use the traditional format or the modern
format. You may use the sentence outline since your objective is to select important
details from the text in order to come up with a good summary.

Summarizing is a valuable skill needed in academic writing. You should know

how to summarize properly the information that you have read, seen, or heard. Most
assignments given in school require you to research, read and analyze information
from different sources. Hence, it is important that you know how to restate or retell
the original text using your own words in order to avoid plagiarism. Also, your
knowledge in summarizing is vital in writing your reports and research papers
particularly on writing the review of related literature, etc.

What’s More

Now that you have learned what is summarizing and other related concepts such
as the tips and the techniques in summarizing, it is time that you answer the
following activities.

Activity 4: Reading Time!

Directions: Read the following article very carefully and identify key points in the
text.
Aggressive Driving Should be Avoided
Aggressive driving is a phenomenon, which has only got the public worried. The
National Highway Traffic Safety Council (NHTSC) defines aggressive driving as the
<operation of a motor vehicle in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger
persons or property=. Actions such as running red lights, improper passing,
overtaking on the left, improper lane change, failing to yield, improper turns,
running stop signs, tail gaiting, careless driving, and speeding are examples of

14

 lOMoARcPSD|16103683

aggressive driving. Such actions are dangerous to other road users. Aggressive
driving should be avoided because it causes crashes, injuries and fatalities.
The first reason why aggressive driving should be avoided is it causes crashes.
According to NHTSC between 78 percent (excessive speed) and 100 percent
(improper passing) of the cases of aggressive driving resulted in traffic crashes and
96 percent of the drivers cited for <following too closely= or tail gaiting caused
crashes as a result of their aggressive driving. Moreover, 8running red light,=
<improper passing=, and <overtaking on the left= topped other categories of
aggressive driving in contributing to traffic crashes.
Another reason why aggressive driving should be avoided is it causes injuries.
NHTSC states that the percentages of the injuries caused by aggressive driving are,
in almost all categories of aggressive driving, above 100 percent.
Aggressive driving also causes fatalities.= Overtaking on the left= appears to be
the most important contributing factor in traffic fatalities as it relates to aggressive
driving. <Improper lane change,= <running stop sign,= and <running red light= rank
second through four in terms of their contribution to traffic fatalities.
The above evidence shows that aggressive driving causes crash, injuries and
fatalities. Hence, aggressive driving should be avoided. Since the opening on the
North-South Highway, the number of kilometers of roads in the country has
increased by one percent while the number of vehicle miles driven has increased
by 35 percent. More cars and more drivers are also on the road leading to more
aggressive drivers.

Activity 5: Using the Techniques

Directions: Summarize the article below using any of the aforementioned techniques
in summarizing.

Understanding Calories
A calorie, also known as kilocalorie, is a unit of energy. This unit represents the
energy required to heat a kilogram of water on degree Celsius. While people
generally link the term calorie with food, it is a unit of measurement that can be
applied to any substance possessing energy. For instance, there are 8200 calories
in a litter (about one quart) of gasoline.
Calories describe the potential energy in food to maintain bodily functions, grow
or repair tissue, and perform mechanical work such as exercise. Food calories may
take the form of fat, carbohydrates, or proteins. Once consumed, enzymes act on
these nutrients through metabolic processes and break them into their perspective
categories of fatty acids, glucose, and amino acids. These molecules travel through
the blood stream to specific cells where they are absorbed for immediate use or
sent on to the final stage of metabolism where they release their stored energy
through the process of oxidation.
The number of calories burned during an exercise depends on various factors
including body weight and the type of exercise. For example, an individual weighing
59 kilograms (130 pounds) would expend roughly 500 calories per hour swimming
or playing basketball. However, this same person would burn an estimated 200
walking or playing table tennis. In order to survive and maintain body weight, the
average individual requires approximately 2000 to 2500 calories per day. Gaining
or losing weight is a simple process. Add and subtract 7,700 calories over the
course of time to gain or lose a kilogram. Nutrition has nothing to do with it. It is
all about calories.

The Golden Age of Comics

The period from the late 1930s to the middle 1940s is known as the golden age
of comic books. The modern comic book came in the early 1930s in the United
States as a giveaway premium to promote the sale of the whole range of household
products such as cereal and cleanser. The comic books, which are printed in bright
colors to attract the attentions of potential customers, proved so popular that some
publishers decided to produce comic books that would come out on a monthly
basis and would sell for a dime each. Though comic strips had been reproduced in
publications prior to this time, the Famous Funnies comic book, which was started
in 1934, marked the first occasion that a serialized book of comics was attempted.

Early comic books reprinted already existing comic strips and comics based on
known characters, however, publishers soon began introducing original characters
developed specially for comic books. Superman was introduced in Action Comics
in 1938, and Batman was introduced a year later. The tremendous success of these
superhero comic books led to the development of numerous comic books on a
variety of topics, though superhero comic book predominated. Astonishingly, by
1945, approximately 160 different comic books were being published in the United
States each month, and 90 percent of US children were said to read comic books
on a regular basis.
