SUMMARIZE SENTENCES TIPS

1.Skim the entire passage to get an idea of its general content. You should be able to answer the
question What is the passage mainly about?

2.Scan the entire passage for key words and phrases. Words and phrases that are repeated
throughout the passage are usually important. Make a note of these.

3.If there are multiple paragraphs, the first paragraph will typically be an introduction to the
topic, and will often include a brief description of what will be discussed.

4.The last paragraph will typically close with a conclusion

5.Each paragraph will have its own topic sentence expressing the main idea. Typically, the topic
sentence is the first sentence of the paragraph (Rest of things are supporting arguments)

6.The task of summarizing a multi-paragraph passage is sometimes made easier by briefly

summarizing each paragraph first, and then combining these summaries into a single
summary.Make a brief summary of each paragraph as you finish reading it. You do not need full
sentences at this point.

7.Keep your summary to a maximum of 30 words. The response box has an indicator that will
tell you how many words you have written. If you are getting close to your word limit, but still
need to write more, edit your sentence to remove unnecessary words, especially adjectives.
These can often be omitted.

8. use punctuations like comman,colon,apastrophe, ETC. You have to use the full stop in the end
of the sentence

1 Summarize it ...
The best example that I've seen of Democratic Socialism operating in this country was during the
Second World War. Then we ran Britain highly efficiently, got every-body into a job. It wasn't
so difficult then to employ people who were disabled and in difficulties and all the rest of it. We
wanted to use all their efforts, and we found the money to do it. We also produced, I would have
thought, probably more than any other country including Germany. We mobilized better. The
conscription of labor was only a very small element of it. We also did what I think we ought to
do on a far greater scale now, looking after the people who are worst hit. In the war, instead of
saying because (the country) is in extreme circumstances you've got to cut the pay of the people
who are worst off, they did the opposite. They increased the pensions, the social security. It was
a democratic society with a common aim in which many of the class barriers were being broken
down. Many of us thought we would never return to a society in which class barriers were
rebuilt. Many of them have been. And many of those class barriers are the very things which
have injured the community since.
Democratic socialism in Britain has set an exemplary paradigm during the Second World War
by providing jobs, mobilizing in a better way and overcoming class barriers.
2. It has been claimed that everything of importance, that originated in Italy from the thirteenth
to the seventeenth century, bore the distinctive mark of Fine Arts. Early on, Cimabue and Duccio
da Siena were the two masters whose Madonnas had given the new impulse to painting and
brought them immortal fame. They were the heralds of the time when poetry of sentiment,
beauty of color, animation and individuality of form replaced Medieval formality and ugliness; a
time when the spirit of art revived with an impulse prophetic of its coming glory.
It is important to remember that the art of the Renaissance had, in the beginning, a distinct office
to fill in the service of the Church. Later, in historical and decorative painting it served the State,
and at length in portrait and landscape painting, in pictures of genre subjects and still-life,
abundant opportunity was afforded for all orders of talent, and the generous patronage of art by
church, state, and men of rank and wealth made Italy a veritable paradise for artists. Gradually,
with the revival of learning, artists were free to give greater importance to secular subjects and
an element of worldliness, and even of immorality, invaded the realm of art as it invaded the
realms of life and literature. This was an era of change in all departments of life. Chivalry, the
great "poetic lie," died with feudalism.
Feudalism invades the territory of arts and literature by replacing old style of poetry and
decorative paintings which make the Italyparadise of artists.

3 The true reality of life can be known only when we maintain a balance between the
mathematical elements of nature, on the one hand, and consciousness and will, on the other.
There are two things in nature we have no doubt about; our existence and the outside world. But
there is something which makes us aware of these two elements and that is our thought.
Whatever we feel, our conclusions, our fears, and aspirations, all revolve around our thinking.
Our flesh and bones cannot perceive things in nature. It is the capability of our thoughts alone.
Even a physically disabled man with a sane mind gets rational thoughts. So, there is some great
power that picks impressions from surroundings, concludes ideas, and gives reasoning and
judgment. And that power is the power of thinking. This is the real, I myself. This, I myself,
has an existence apart from its physical reality. It is the real self or person who deals with others
in society. Its physical body is a medium through which he can verbalize his thoughts. The real
person is embodied in the thoughts of the personality. So, judge not a persons physicality, but
his thoughts.
Reasoning and Judgement are the true abilities of our thinking alternatively, the physical
body is an excellent way to verbalize thoughts

5. 'Just in time' is a method of manufacturing products which aims to minimise production time,
production costs, and the amount of stock held in the factory. Raw materials and supplies arrive at the
factory as they are required, and consequently there is very little stock sitting idle at any one time. Each
stage of the production process finishes just before the next stage is due to commence and therefore
the lead-time is significantly reduced. With a 'just-in-time' production system, the level of production is
related to the demand for the output( I.e. The number of orders) rather than simply producing finished
goods and waiting for orders. This means that raw materials and stock only need to be ordered from
suppliers as required.
'Just in time' is a process which benefits multifarious levels in a production cycle where raw materials
arrive only when the next stage is about to commence and the finished product does not have a
waiting time for delivery

6. Electric trolley cars or trams were once the chief modes of public transportation in the United
States. Though they required tracks and electric cables to run, these trolley cars were clean and
comfortable. In 1922, auto manufacturer General Motors created a special unit to replace electric
trolleys with cars, trucks, and buses. Over the next decade, this group successfully lobbied for
laws and regulations that made operating trams more difficult and less profitable. In 1936,
General Motors created several front companies for the purpose of purchasing and dismantling
the trolley car system. They received substantial investments from Firestone Tire, Standard Oil
of California, Phillips Petroleum, and other parties invested in the automotive industry. Some
people suspect that these parties wanted to replace trolley cars with buses to make public
transportation less desirable, which would then increase automobile sales. The decline of the
tram system in North America could be attributed to many thingslabour strikes, the Great
Depression, regulations that were unfavourable to operatorsbut perhaps the primary cause was
having a group of powerful men from rival sectors of the auto industry working together to
ensure its destruction. Fill it up, please.
My summary:
Although trams were the comfortable mode of public transport, due to large companies
conspiracy to promote automotive industry, trams were replaced with less desirable buses.

Talk about the pros/cons of this era as is full of daily invention?

In this modern era, many technological advancements have been taken place in various areas for
daily use that have given numerous benefits to the people around the globe. There are, however,
plenty of significant drawbacks that have hampered the people lives.
There is no doubt, the invented products have provided considerable benefits to the people. First
of all, due to escalating inflation rates and the changes in demographic structure between the men
and women, they both are working in corporates to live the lavish lifestyle. They do not have
sufficient time to perform their daily task. As a result, they are using washing machines to wash
the clothes; refrigerators to store the foods, and grinders to prepare the spices.
Secondly, the communication devices have transformed the level of communication amongst
people. These devices, to illustrate, the smartphones to send the mail; laptop to deliver the
marketing presentation, and to transact the financial transactions have made their life much
easier and convenient than earlier.
In stark contrast to this, there are also negative effects of this technology. One of the major
effects is, people have become over dependent on communication devices such as smartphones,
tablets, and palmtops. They are using these devices in large amounts which have made them less
sociable and less active. Finally, another effect is, it is believed the widespread use of e-mail and
internet chatting have destroyed traditional forms of communication, for example, letter-writing,
telephone, and face-to-face conversation.
In conclusion, the different prolific technological inventions have given a bunch of benefits to
the people in their daily life, however, there are also drastic effects that have hampered the
people life.

Tourism advantages and disadvantages :In recent decades, there has been a colossal upsurge in the industry of tourism, which stems from
the teeming demand of the tourists travelling across the globe. It has positive as well as the
negative impingements. This essay will discuss the compelling thoughts of both the aspects to
accord the rubric.
To begin with, nowadays, the tourism industry has become one of the rapidly flourishing
industries. It has emerged as a booming industry which has created ample of job opportunities
for the local population and also contribute majorly to the economy of the country. For an
instance, countries like Thailand, Indonesia and many more predominantly depends on the
tourism. It generates an influx in the revenue of the country.
Furthermore, tourism has not only benefited the host country, but also to the tourists, who look
for an option to overcome from the daily hectic and monotonous activities. From this
perspective, exposure of numerous cultures develops childrens minds to show less inhibition for
learning different culture. It develops cultural awareness among the children, which helps them
to stand at an edge over others.
However, it is irrefutable that tourism has some disadvantages also. Many people across the
globe with different cultural values come to the host country and have a huge impact on the local
culture. It is inevitable to avoid the impacts in order to seek growth in the business. The local
people are forced to dilute their basics in order to absorb a new culture.

Validity of written examination is not the only factor when evaluating a candidates
performance in job selection process. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Managers always search for the right candidates to work at different positions in companies by
using several assessment tools. While some people believe that written tests are the solely way to
evaluate employees performance, I entirely disagree with this view because of the following
reasons and will suggest some other factors.
It is undeniable that work experience is one of the many key factors which managers need to
consider while selecting the right employees. Understandably, a large number of people, who
have a wide range of technical or theoretical knowledge, get the top grades in entrance written
tests. However, these people might not have enough real experience in order to complete their
working tasks effectively by strict deadline. Hence, working experience should be taken into
account in selection process.
Furthermore, personal abilities such as language skills and working under pressure in
competitive environment are also important to look at before selecting appropriate candidates.
For example, to work as a great sales person, the prospective employee should have great
communication skills in order to communicate effectively and efficiently with customers. In
addition, employees should also need to understand organizational behavior to cooperate well
with other workers.
In conclusion, there are several factors such as work experience, communication skills and
understanding organizational culture which need to be considered rather than only testing
applicants written skills in a job selection process.

The advancement in the contemporary era has literally changed the meaning of literacy. With

Several languages die every year and English is becoming used more and more as a world
language. Many people feel this is a positive trend and that a world with fewer languages
promotes harmony and understanding between people. Analyse both sides of this argument
and provide your opinion.
English, the language Royale, has earned an enviable position as the only international language,
whilst dominating other tribal languages; thereby vanishing them. Some handful of masses
opines that it is a positive development as it makes them to understand each other well. Both
sides of this hotly debated issue will be analyzed before coming to a reasoned conclusion.
To begin with, the prime reason for becoming some languages obsolete is globalization. Since
with the advancements in technology world is becoming a global village, people with the
dispersed geographical locations interacting with each other and every entity may have a
separate language ; making it difficult for them to communicate. Therefore, English, the
language of most of the international traders, is gaining momentum due to socio-economic
pressure, facilitating all entities to relay information. To exemplify, citizens of developing
countries are pressurized to trade in dominating languages to meet the requirements of the life
and cut off their poverty.
However, some people profess that this phenomenon is fostering better relationships among
members of the different nations by reducing conflicts. Fewer the languages to communicate,
better the mutual understanding among elements of the society , as everyone will be able to
understand each other and less conflicts. This will also make the modern highly networked world
as the peaceful world which is th
e need of the day.
After analyzing the matter in detail, it can be seen that , though using fewer languages will
promote the harmony in the world, forgetting other important languages is not a good idea.
Every language is inextricably linked with its culture, so dying out other languages than English
will also vanish other cultures. The loss of diversity will deprive us of ways of looking at the
world for it will reflect ones thoughts and perception too.

Should consumer goods companies concentrate on quality or special discounts and offers to
promote their products?
Marketing strategy plays a pivotal role in the growth of an organization. It not only creates an
influx in the revenue, but helps to upsurge the reputation of the company also. I will advocate
investing in offers and promotions is a positive move.
To begin with, investment in offers and promotions for any product, in order to lure the
customers not only gives the product an edge over others, but also aid to incline the company's
growth. For an instance, Nestle has launched an advertising campaign recently to promote its
product, which has boomed its demand compared to the product of the same segment.
Furthermore, a new start-up company when launches its debut product with the eye-catching
deals, then as an outcome, it provides a better reputation and adds to the revenue growth, which
later helps in the development of the company. To exemplify, Lenovo has added a range of new
mobiles in its list. To promote those, it has invested a hefty sum in the marketing, promotions
and has launched it by using a giant platform of Flipkart. This, in turn, made it as the most
selling mobile of the year.
To put in a nutshell, after pondering the great deals of thoughts, it is immediately apparent that,
expenditure in promotions and discounts not only create an influx in the revenue of the company,
but helps to bolster its roots also among the big giants. Overall, investment in the business to
develop and nurture is worth and should be accepted as the part of basic requirement.
