Reflection:
1. Read THE QUESTION FIRST.

Scroll down after the RC questions and you will find the summary question. This should be
done BEFORE reading the passage.*
*You should get the idea of what the passage is about just by looking at the question.
Reading the questions before reading the passage is good because it gives you focus on your
reading and you will understand the passage a lot faster.

2. Read the passage

3. Complete the Reading Comprehension Questions
4. To start summarizing, use the BRIEF technique

B BOX
R READ
I IDENTIFY
E EXTRACT
F FINALIZE
5. B=BOX

This is VERY SIMPLE. Just draw a box on the paper. Start the first horizontal line ABOVE
the line mentioned in the instruction and another after the last line mentioned.

6. R=Read the passage

This is not simply reading. Focus on what you are going to summarize. Especially the one in
the box.

7. I=Identify

This means you must identify the points/ key ideas that are relevant to what the instructions
want. Be careful of what the question wants especially the PARTS OF SPEECH.

8 E=Extract

This basically means when you have identified the ideas, you have to take the idea out from
the text.

Remember, NO EXAMPLES, ELABORATIONS AND

REPEATED IDEAS IN A SUMMARY
 .
9. F=FINALIZE

Use the sentence as an opener for your summary given to start writing a paragraph of
summary. Be sure not to exceed 130 words. Dont forget to write the no of words used in
brackets.
