0Strategy 1:
Remember to skim and scan. Quickly skim the text rest for the main idea, and then scan it for details and note keywords.
Strategy 2:
Once you have noted the keywords, use them to write short notes, to sum up, the main argument of the text without looking back at the passage. Use your own words to make your notes into a clear, precise summarising sentence.
Strategy 3:
When you have finished writing, check for the following:
1) you have written one sentence only which is within the required word count (between 5 and 75 words);
2) you have kept the main meaning of the text;
3) your grammar and spelling are correct. Remember that if your sentence is shorter or longer than the required word count, your response will automatically be scored zero.
