Rules of Precis Writing SET 1

  2. Underline the important points to be included in your précis. A point is important if it is intimately connected with the main subject and if it is essential for clear exposition of the theme.
  3. Use your own language in the précis. While words and phrases from the original may be used in the précis, whole sentences should never be lifted out of the original to be included in it.
  4. The précis should be roughly one- third of the original passage. Always prepare a rough draft first and count the words, if you find that it is too long, shorten it by removing what seems inessential and by condensing phraseology. If it turns out to be too short, read the original to see what more can be added to the précis.
