What Is It

Listening is one of the skills that you

need to master to come up with the
appropriate information. If a piece of
information is given orally it is not necessary
for you to take down notes all those
information articulated or given by the
speaker. You just need to summarize the
information by listing down all the important
details.

shorturl.at/flCKY

13
 Getting the most relevant ideas in a text listened to and ignoring the
unimportant information and integrate the main ideas in a meaningful way is
summarizing. Summarizing is making lengthy stories, discussions, arguments, or
information brief and essential by using your own words or style. In summarizing a
text or information, you do not need to rely on the author’s language. You only need
to take important information or details based on a certain article that you have read
or listened to.
There are three different ways of consolidating source information into your
own composition: synopsis, reword, and direct citation. At the point when you sum
up or rework, you repeat in your own words the idea of another speaker or writer. At
the point when you quote, you recreate the specific expressions of another speaker
or author.
When you summarize information, you find the main ideas in an article, essay, report,
or other document, and rephrase them. Getting the most important idea or ideas in the
source material and express them in your own words. The purpose of summarizing is to give
the reader an overview of the article, report, or chapter. If the reader is interested in the
details, he or she will read the original. It is hard to overstate how important the ability to
summarize is. A concrete example of summarizing is Note-taking in school. Abstracts of
articles, executive summaries of reports, market surveys, legal decisions, research findings,
and records called “minutes” of meetings, to name only a few kinds of formal documents, are
all summaries. Thesis statements and topic sentences are essentially summaries; so, often,
are conclusions. In committee, group, or teamwork, imagination and creativity are valuable,
but the ability to summarize is even more so. There is no communication skill that you will
need or use more than summarizing as a student who thrives to do your best.
     In conversation, we all summarize every day: for example, with friends, you may
summarize the plot of a movie you’ve just seen or what happened in class this morning;
when your mother calls, you’ll summarize the events of the past week that you want her to
know about. But most of us are not very good at summarizing efficiently, especially in
writing. Written summaries, unlike conversational ones, require planning. Summarizing
effectively is a skill that doesn’t come naturally.

If

by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

16
 And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And—which

 Sonnet 29

George Santayana (1863-1952)

What riches have you that you deem me poor,

Or what large comfort that you call me sad?
Tell me what makes you so exceeding glad:
Is your earth happy or your heaven sure?
I hope for heaven, since the stars endure
And bring such tidings as our fathers had.
I know no deeper doubt to make me mad,
I need no brighter love to keep me pure.

To me the faiths of old are daily bread;

I bless their hope, I bless their will to save,
And my deep heart still meaneth what they said.
It makes me happy that the soul is brave,
And, being so much kinsman to the dead,
I walk contented to the peopled grave.
