OMG!!! I feel so lucky to find your channel. I have seen so many english teacher so far, but I like you more. I realy like the way you speak, the way you teach, the way you smile, and everything. Thank you so much for your work. I hope someday I can go to America and meet you there.
Thank you for this video! I am an ESL college level professor and I teach EAP courses. So many students do not know how to write summaries. This video was so helpful to me, and I shared it with my students. Great video!
I'm very fortunate to find your channel. I recently started online learning in college, and being English my second language it's been very challenging for me. Today I completed my assignments by watching your video. I really appreciate you. God bless you. ❤️
This is the best video i have seen on summarising, i have watched 4 videos on summary and all just said to shorten the the whole paragraph, no one mentioned if we have to add details or not or which details are important so i really understood a lot in your video and i love how you explained with a example, other videos just showed a question, showed their summary and ended the video. Thank you so much!
Wow! I am overwhelmed and excited on how you taught. You hit a nail on the head. This improves my learning capabilities on summarising and so forth. Thanks alot . God bless you
Thank you very much for such a helpful video not only for students, but also for teachers: good instructions on the steps to follow how to organize the critical reading and understanding process, dividing the text into separate sections and outlining the content, and finally, only based on the previous steps, the process of writing a summary. I am going to use your video while teaching my students.
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Yes, I think the process of critical thinking and analyzing a reading is the most important first step 😀 Say hello to your students for me!
Thank you so much for the great explanation and demonstration of how to do this. I’m taking English 2 in college online and my professor is only giving written instructions which doesn’t really help me see how the process is done. So, thank you for providing this clear information for me! I’m hoping to do well on my assignment now!
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I'm so glad you found this helpful!! Best of luck in your class! I'm sure you're going to do great ❤😊
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to make this awesome video for us!! This helped me so much! I had a hard time getting started and finding the important information to include in my essays!! Love you’re breakdown!! Thanks again you are amazing!!
Dear Professor, I deeply thank you for this lesson which is my first one in this new Year 2023. I am so glad to find it since I need to practise for my English lesson as well as for my work. Mein Aufrichtiger Dank an Sie. Warm Greetings from Germany.
Wonderful! Let me know if you have any questions. Where are you from in Germany? I visited Munich twice including a short language course that I did at the Goethe Institut. I loved it there! I hope to travel in Germany with my husband and kids someday.
Dear Professor, a. your ways of teaching are excellent. I can learn a lot from your videos. Thus, I don´t have any additional needs. b. I live very close to Stuttgart. It is about 220 KM from München. I have been preparing for my Cambridge C1 Exam and will sit in Exam probably this Summer. How about when you could give some workshops for Englisch for one or two days in Germany during your holidays because you have a lot of followers. I know this experience from tutors of IT. It is my pleasure that you like travelling to Munich and learning German. best, An
Good question! Yes, you can! For a story, you're going to read the whole thing and take notes while you're reading -- try to make a list of the main events in the plot. When you write your summary, the first sentence can tell what the story is about. Next, mention the setting (when and where the story takes place) and the main characters (don't mention too many characters). Next, explain the main events in the plot.
If it's possible, I really want to make a request. Can you please make a complete explanation about "All the Phrasal Verbs". And then about all Idioms, Noun Clause, Adjective Clause, etc. Please teach us about everything we need to know about English so that we can use English excellently. With the quality of your explanation, I'm really sure your channel will grow dramatically. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. I hope you all the best.
Thanks for your suggestions and kind feedback. 😊 I'd love to know more about you -- where are you from? Why are you learning English? My challenge is that I teach English full-time to college students, so I don't have a lot of time to make videos, but I try to make at least one per week. I also post short lessons on Instagram. I do have a few videos about the topics that you mentioned: Phrasal Verbs: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pG1554TSDMs.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M9Sve7z9Bq4.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T7IAFqe2PnE.html Idioms: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K5ffNxydfao.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FkF_seJezOg.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dBH1PVv6jqM.html Adjective Clauses: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9EGk6UKdyjI.html Adverb Clauses: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GNYFw_pprPc.html And please see my Playlists for more :)
This is my holiday home work or I was searching for such a video for half an hour but couldn't find it or finally found this video here THANK YOU SO MUCH MAM FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO❤❤❤❤❤Oh you are so cute 💗😊💌😅
You're very welcome! You can sign up for my email list, and when my online course is ready, I will let you know: 37134621.sibforms.com/serve/MUIEACHe4CBQfKcgMvTucJR5q0Jixa8XSKrpF9PVt7ow-YshFzqv41-MjN1FD3QEBJQKgc2Z68kCASkKQ7H7M8XgwW2WKDtYd9hj9_QY4JR5jzZbtA85rn8-NL3NH-ikrWVdi27Wo6CQQ68uZCZEs8KQ0BD-LKqSZEQf2aILdjYieOGP28o6c_g3KILOUT9HbpRuBZyz6KKcWYxF
This video was very helpful. I would like to know if the structure with one paragraph could also be used if we would need to sum up longer articles with more pages. Thank you for your help!
Yes you can! The summary length depends on the length and complexity of the original. You could write a longer paragraph (e.g. closer to 1 page) to summarize a longer article, or you could split the summary up into separate paragraphs. When you read the article, separate it into sections. Then make a list on a separate paper of the main points and most important details for each section. If the article has 4 sections, your summary could have 3 paragraphs: 1 paragraph to tell the main idea of the whole article and describe the first section, 1 paragraph to describe the second section, and so on. I hope that helps.
Thank you for your kind support! 😍 I really appreciate it. I'd love to know how I can help you -- do you have any topics that you would like me to present in an upcoming video?
So glad you found it helpful! I have a video of how to write an essay here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uFyuuSZYkY8.html. It includes a handout, which you should get to keep at home. Also, please check my Writing Playlist for more videos about how to write essays :)
This video helped me alot however still i have one doubt that can we use same word from the article into summery when we donot find any relatvent specific word for paraphrasing.
Yes, you can use the same words if you don't find a good synonym. That is actually an important point -- sometimes if we try too hard to use synonyms, the writing can become awkward, so sometimes it's better to stick with some of the original words, especially if they are key words in the article.
Here are some examples: In the article "Fear of Flying," Pedro Martinez discusses the reasons that people are afraid of heights. In the story "Heaven Hell," author Jhumpa Lahiri explores the difficulties facing one immigrant family after moving to the United States. Follow that formula with the article title, author's name, verb in the simple present, and the topic of the article. I hope that helps!
Thank you !! 💜 It was really helpful to me. And I've a question that if i don't give any gap in the opening sentence when i'll start writing, will it be all right ?
Good question! Make a list of the most important plot points. Just enough to understand the overall story. Include a few basic details about the setting (where, when) as well. Use that list to write the summary as a paragraph.
Summaries typically do not include your opinion. When we add our opinion to a summary writing, we call that a response. We usually separate the summary and the response, so you could write one paragraph for the summary and one paragraph for your response, where you discuss your opinion.
Dear professor, my academic writing is not good enough to paraphrase anything in my own words. Can you please recommend any solutions to improve my writing shortcomings....
Good question! The most important thing is to build vocabulary so that you can change the words to synonyms that make sense. Second, just practice. Based on your comment, it seems like your writing is strong enough to paraphrase. Try to practice and you will feel more confident soon.
It's not easy, but I always give my students this tip: What does the writer want you to know? Imagine that you have to explain the article to your grandmother. How can you explain it in an easy, simple way?
@@patriciacameron8281 Sorry, I don't have any homework that I could give you now, but if you join my email list, I can let you know when my writing course is ready. In the meantime, you can use this checklist to help you: docs.google.com/document/d/1iQ07LM7RojhGi8ypbvBMAIsXmu8tEQCDv9fwv8pcNYI/edit?usp=sharing
Did you think it was easy? I didn't think so. However, it is short and fairly clearly organized. If it had been a very long or complex article, it would have been too difficult to show how to summarize it in a RU-vid video!
Sir 1 There is some innocent people killed in the clash 2 there is book lying on the table Here There =dummy subject And 1 There is killed some innocent people in the clash. 2 there is lying a book on the table . Here there work like There = adverb Am I correct. If i am right So when we use this sentence in subordinate clause Like this 1 ..…........ Where there is killed some innocent people in the clash . 2. ............when there is lying a book on the table . Public bath means any place where "there" is given steam baths; electric lights baths; electric ...... Here my question is In both cases Is "There word " working like a Adverb or introductory. If these all are incorrect then Can I send a screenshot on your Instagram I have also followed on insta. which I have found . Because sometimes explaining is difficult. Please reply 🙂🙂
