Which of these examples for the first paragraph is better? 1 When Stephen King announced he would release a book exclusively in digital form and via the internet the TV news featured the story for days. 2 When Stephen King said his next book would only be available on the internet he created huge media interest. Use your notes to write sentences summarising paragraphs 2, 3 and 4. Paragraph 2: _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 3: _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 4: _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ Read through your paragraph summaries. Have you missed anything important? Should you add a bit more detail? The answer to the second question will usually depend on how many words you have got to do the summary with. For example, if we need to make the summary for paragraph 1 longer, we could add more detail: When Stephen King said his next book would only be available on the internet he created huge media interest. First the story spread across the web, then it was picked up by newspapers, TV and the radio. Finally, put your paragraph summaries together. Make sure you have a good link between each of them and write a short conclusion to summarise the passage as a whole. Working in pairs, write a summary of the text in 29 in no more than 100 words.
