Don't sit there and think about what to include in your article summary. Start from the beginning of your article and start writing immediately. Your article has numerous paragraphs. Start from the first paragraph.

Step 2: Pick the most important sentence in each paragraph.

Always start by picking just one sentence from each paragraph. Notice that in every paragraph, there is a key message. If this key sentence doesn't exist, create one for your summary. You should use no more than 2 sentences to summarize each paragraph.

Step 3: Link all the key sentences together.

A summary is like a mini-article for your main article. When you pick sentences from the paragraphs, they may appear to be disconnected. Now is the time to do some "stitching" work. When you are finished, reread the summary again to make sure that the words are flowing nicely.

When writing summaries, do not add anything that you have not written about in the article body. The summary is supposed to be a short paragraph that sums up all the key points. If you add extra materials, they won't seem to fit. Your readers may also be confused because something new just popped up from nowhere.

With practice, you should be able to write summaries in record time. Try to beat my personal best of 2 minutes! - (Well, it's a really short summary.)
