    Summarizing is stating the key ideas or argument of a source text succinctly using one's own words while acknowledging the original source. To summarize, one should understand the material, take notes on important points, and rewrite the summary using a different structure than the original, emphasizing important ideas. The stages of writing a summary are to decide the purpose, take notes underlining key points, organize the notes, and then write the summary based on the notes.
