I. CONCEPT IDEAS
A summary tells the main idea of a piece of written or spoken text. It is always shorter than
the main text because it leaves out supporting details such as statistics, further description,
additional data, examples, or testimonials. To summarize a text or speech, you must read or listen
to a passage very closely. You have to determine which are the main ideas and which are the
supporting details. Then you must briefly write down the main ideas in your own words.
HOW TO WRITE THE SUMMARY OF A WRITTEN TEXT OR A SPEECH
Step 1. Read the text or listen to the speech carefully.
Step 2. Underline or write down the ideas or points that you will find or hear.
Step 3. Re-read the ideas or points you have written or underlined and identify the main idea.
Step 4. Re-write the main idea in your own words.
REMEMBER
⚫ A summary should be written in complete sentences.
⚫ A summary should be written in your own words.
⚫ A summary contains only the ideas of the original text.
⚫ Do not insert any of your own opinions, interpretations, or comments into the summary
II. EXAMPLES
EXPLICIT STATEMENTS AS MAIN IDEAS
Ideas can be expressed clearly and directly through explicit statements. In these
statements, ideas are exactly spelled out, leaving no room for confusion or doubt on what is being
said.
Read the paragraph below. Try summarizing it using the steps that follow.
Good morning to all of you. I am Mr. Santos. Today, I will talk about the great loves of my
life. I am a pet lover. I own three dogs and a cat. They are so special that they are everything to
me. My dogs’ names are Askal, Puti, and Dilaw. My cat’s name is Bowow. I treat my pets like my
own family members. They are not just animals kept on a leash or in a cage. They are so special
to me that I look forward to each day when I can go home to be with them.
Now, try to summarize the paragraph:
Step 1. Read the paragraph carefully.
Step 2. Underline the ideas or points that you find in the text or write them on a separate
piece of paper.
I am a pet lover.
I treat my pets like my own family members.
They are not just animals kept on a leash or in a cage.
I look forward to each day when I can go home to be with them.
Step 3. Re-read the underlined parts and identify the main idea.
In the paragraph, Mr. Santos’ explicit stand reveals the main idea. He states it simply and
clearly: I am a pet lover.
Step 4. Re-write the main idea in your own words.
Mr. Santos loves his pets.

Activity 1
Directions:The LF will read the paragraph and the learner will write the summary of the paragraph
below by answering the questions that follow.
Hi! I am Laura. Recently, I learned to love Mother Nature. I realized how much she has
provided for our needs. Sadly, we have been doing a lot of things that hurt her like not disposing our
garbage properly or not replacing the trees that we cut. I also realized that when we do these things,
we are actually hurting ourselves. By not taking care of Mother Nature, we are destroying the source
of the things that we need to survive like the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land we live
in. I believe that we can do something about this in our own simple way. Lately, I started waste
segregation. I know it is challenging if you are not used to it, but it is not impossible to do. If we
change our habits little by little each day, we can eventually make that difference. I may be an
ordinary citizen, but I play an important role in helping save Mother Nature. You can, too.
