Thank you very much for such a helpful video not only for students, but also for teachers: good instructions on the steps to follow how to organize the critical reading and understanding process, dividing the text into separate sections and outlining the content, and finally, only based on the previous steps, the process of writing a summary. I am going to use your video while teaching my students.

[ShampiMauMau]

This is the best video i have seen on summarising, i have watched 4 videos on summary and all just said to shorten the the whole paragraph, no one mentioned if we have to add details or not or which details are important so i really understood a lot in your video and i love how you explained with a example, other videos just showed a question, showed their summary and ended the video. Thank you so much!
