First of all, we should see clearly the structure of Chu's articles and try our best to reflect the author's views in the original text.
Second, we should have the ability of meaningful screening and learn to distinguish between facts and opinions, importance and secondary, universality and particularity, relevance and irrelevance, causality and other complex logical relationships.
Third, we should be able to explain English in English, and explain more complicated languages in our own simple language, instead of copying the original text.
The content of reading and writing tasks is generally divided into two parts.
That is, the writing content 1 is the main point of summarizing the essay, and the writing content 2 is to express opinions on a certain topic.
However, most candidates will ignore the navigation function from writing content 2 to writing content 1, plunge into the reading material and read the article directly to get the main points. In fact, the so-called "reading and writing task" is the organic combination of reading and writing. The material of "reading" provides the scene for the later "writing". Similarly, "writing" is also a reflection and extension of the material of "reading". So I hope you can consider the navigation function of writing content 2 provided by the proposer when summing up the article, because it can help you improve the speed and accuracy of capturing the main points of the article faster.
First, the general standard: abandon the secondary and aim at the writing purpose.
The standard generalization is expressed in relief. The first sentence is a topic sentence, which clearly tells the reader the writing purpose of the article. The quality of this sentence determines the success or failure of generalization. The following sentences explain and support the topic sentences, and all the meanings outside the topic should be deleted without hesitation.
Second, the general writing steps:
1. Determine the topic sentence. Determine the topic sentence of the reading article, usually at the beginning of the paragraph. Those without topic sentences need to be combined by themselves.
2. find keywords. Analyze the meaning of topic sentences and determine keywords, which are generally embodied in nouns and adjectives, and the number of keywords determines the concentration of summarized information.
3. Reconstruct the topic sentence. The general topic sentence should logically control all the supporting sentences behind it. It can be inferred from the author's writing purpose that the topic sentence reflecting the writing purpose is highly abstract, which basically determines the quality of generalization.
4. Reorganize supporting sentences. The meaning of supporting sentences is logically restricted by topic sentences, which can supplement the process or provide evidence.
Formula: in short: short-sighted, exquisite preservation. (including: general. See: indirect speech. Short conjunction: short conjunction. Exquisite: details and examples)
Three, when writing the abstract, you can use the following skills:
1) Delete the details. Keep only the main points.
2) avoid duplication. In the original text, in order to emphasize a certain theme, the argument may be repeated. But this cannot be used in the abstract. Those highlighted restatements should be deleted.
3) Delete specific examples. However, the reading material itself is composed of several concrete examples. For example, the reading materials talk about western festivals. If you delete specific examples, it is difficult to sum up to 30 words. Then choose one or two examples (that is, one or two major festivals). Note: The original text may include five or more examples, so you only need to choose one or two examples.
4) Replace specific words with general nouns.
After the above analysis of the writing skills of English paper abstracts, when writing, remember to write from a neutral point of view, mix that with your own personal thoughts to change the original intention, try to be concise, and explain some complicated things in the original text in the simplest language.
