HOW TO WRITE MAIN IDEAS

ESL 120 and 130

1. Write main ideas only. Less is more.

2. Don’t write unnecessary details or descriptions. Focus on what happened.

3, Write your ideas so that someone who has not read the story can understand it.

4. Don’t copy phrases or sentences from the book.

5, Do not be vague or repetitive just to fill up space.

6. Consolidate ideas if possible.
