When I read an article, I pay attention to the author’s writing methods and opinions. The author will certainly enlarge his point of view in the article. This is the same in both Chinese and American articles. Finding the author’s point of view, and finding examples to support these points of view, can understand the author’s purpose of writing, of course, some writers will also indicate their reasons for writing. This made me realize that a reading article, for the author, is the same as I-search for me. If I knew exactly what to write in each section, my readers would easily understand my purpose.
As for how to summarize an article or a paragraph of an article, of course, is inseparable from understanding the author’s point of view, according to the author’s point of view, described in their own words, of course, the content of the article, the key part also need to mention. For example, the core support point of the author’s opinion is this paragraph, which we also need to summarize in our own words to support our own opinion.
In many cases, in the face of a strange article, there is no way to fully understand the meaning of each word, we need to rely on the writing structure, find the author’s point of view, so that it will be more convenient to summarize. For example,the first paragraph of the American writing style is usually composed of hook, background, thesis and other parts, so it is much more convenient to read and summarize.
