Do you ever feel like summarizing a news article is harder than writing the whole thing? Here’s how to make it easier.
First, start by reading the headline and the first paragraph—they’re like the cheat sheet for the whole article. Then, look for the main idea in each section, not the tiny details. You don’t need to include what the reporter had for breakfast unless it’s the story.
Finally, tie it all together in a sentence or two: Who, what, where, when, why, and how. Think of it as giving the article a quick elevator pitch. Practice this, and you’ll be summarizing like a pro in no time. If you want me to answer more of your questions, send them to ask@englishpluspodcast.com.
