Your summary was well written.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, you included all the necessary points with its main supporting points from the passage while you excluded all the examples and details. Therefore, it seems that you went directly to the point which makes it easier for the reader to understand what the whole passage is about.
Secondly, you used your own words and sentence structure without changing the original meaning of the passage. It is to prevent plagiarism as you were summarizing from a source.
All these are important in writing a good summary.
However, since you paraphrased the passage with your own words, you tend to make errors such as grammar, articles and also parallelism.
Parallelism is basically your list of items that follow the same grammatical pattern.
On top of that, it is important to include transitions such as "in addition, furthermore, moreover" to your summary so that it will give a smooth flow for the reader to read, and provide a logical organization of your summary. It will make the summary easier to follow.
Overall, I feel that the summary was well written with just a few grammatical errors. A job well done.
