Example 1 |
Now I¡¦d like to use the passage on Miramar Entertainment
Park as an example to show you how to summarize the
ideas in your own sentences and language. |
¡@ |
Miramar Entertainment Park, the newest shopping
and recreational complex in Taipei, extended service
hours to 2 a.m. It offered special Christmas Eve
dinner for 48 couples served right on its
giant Ferris wheel. Reservations were made long
ago in spite of a high price tag of NT$5000 per set.
The company kept one set for auction on the internet.
A 35-year old Taiwan businessman working in
mainland China won the tickets by outbidding
others with NT$8200 to enjoy the dinner in the
sky with his girlfriend. (China Post: 12/2004) |

When scanning the passage, your eyes actually stop on
several key words. The key words in this sense are the
important ideas conveyed by the author. You may then
underline or circle by marking them with a red pen. You
make your own sentences by using these key words to
summarize the important ideas in your reading. |
