Answer:

A precis is a text summary which has to reflect the key points of the original text of the author, its tone, mood. Of course, when your task is to write a precis of such an interesting article, you want to add many details. A good precis cannot be long and complicated. It must have a clear, precise structure.

Explanation:

Note making is an essential task for writing précis. You should try to arrange the points in most logical order, and ensure the order of thought is the same as the original. The three grammatical rules you need to follow while writing a précis are: write it in third person, indirect form and appropriate past tense.

What should you remember about a Precis?

Keep in mind that a precis is not a:

  • Plan/outline of the original passage or article;
  • Simple abstract of the text;
  • Selection of the most prominent phrases and sentences;
  • Chain of facts, sentences that are not connected.

A good precis has the following features:

  • Precis is written in a writer's own words and mood.
  • A writer shouldn't simply copy original sentences - he or she needs to compress and paraphrase them in his precis. Each sentence of your précis should be unique - it is your writing work.
  • Precis should be logically ordered, with all parts of it being connected to each other.
  • A writer can't use the first person pronouns (I, we) as precis is always written in the third person.
  • Precis never contains any additional information or details not mentioned in the original text even if it supports the main idea if the author.
