Abstract
The primary objective of this article is to introduce the readers to the nuances of writing a summary. It will be published in three parts in different issues of LLT. Summary writing is not just a part of the language curriculum but is needed in our day to day activities as well. Students have traditionally been taught how to summarize or write a precis in their language classes. While doing this, the emphasis has been on condensing both information and language in order to provide a gist of the original. While it is important for summaries to be accurate, there is no clear-cut methodology for either teaching summary writing or for assessing the summaries produced. In addition, it is assumed that a complete and elegant statement is always required in a summary.
