Paper 2: Summary Passage

English Paper 2 Workshop (Summary Passage)

Part 1: Summary Passage

• Some key points you must remember before starting your attempt
  • Read the question statement first: i.e. for which 2 aspects are you finding the points for. This way, you will not need to read the passage twice.
• When you are reading the first time
  • Cut out anything that is between
    • Two commas
    • Two hyphens
    • After i.e.
    • After e.g.
    • After “for example”
  • All this is extra and is never a part of the content points
  • Remember, content points are the CORE points that are basic thought of the passage.
    • Not the extra and useless material in the passage.
  • You are NOT required to content points in your own words.
    • So, COPY PASTE them from the passage in the content points section
      • Why?
        • Because if you change the meaning converting them to your own words, you will lose marks for sure.
      • You can write extra points
        • There are more points than required in the passage/
        • However
          • DO NOT break single points into two part just to increase the number of points, otherwise, you won’t receive any marks.
        • Do not write content points in PARAGRAPH form
          • Write them in point form BUT proper sentences.
        • Summary Part
          • Try to understand that the examiner does not have unrealistic expectations from you. He knows you are a students So
          • Do NOT CHANGE every word
            • That is not possible. Students end up changing meanings when they change every word
            • Instead, try to change the structure of the sentences.
          • Use connectives
            • However
            • Moreover
            • Furthermore
            • On the other hand
            • Also
          • Remember, always put a comma after the connective if it comes at the start of the sentence.
          • Do not try to overcrowd points
            • You can leave 1 or 2 points out of the content points in the summary
            • DO NOT add any details that were not a part of content points.
          • Do NOT repeat stuff
            • Waste of time
            • And it is a blunder.
          • Fact vs Opinion
            • One common issue is understand what is a fact and opinion.
            • Remember, do find it FROM the paragraph told. Do not take from another paragraph.
            • Opinion
              • Does NOT have normative statements
              • e. statements that have the words ought to, might, may, could etc. in it.
              • Instead, they are hard and direct positive statements.
              • However, they are statements you can DISAGREE TO.
              • For example, saying Panda can be cute
                • is not an opinion
              • Saying PANDA is cute
                • is an opinion, because no normative words and I can disagree to it.
              • Fact
                • Positive statements  that you can not disagree to or reject
                • They also DO NOT have normative words.
                • For example Washington DC is the capital of US is a factual statement.
                  • You or I can not disagree to it.
