Retell- you just give a simple, brief, and accurate details of the work of ideas or just summarize text.

Summaries are shortened versions of long and complicated texts. They are useful for several reasons:
they help you focus on the main idea, enabling you to identify key points and glossing over less
important ones. When you summarize, you are able to combine the key points that support the main
idea. It is important to understand that summarizing is not equivalent to writing down everything
verbatim. Nor does it mean coming up with a version that is similar in length to or longer than the
original text. Your reason for writing a summary should determine the kind of summary you will write.

Tips
