Abstract: you might need to teach your students how to format a summary more than once. They could very well understand it the first time, but will probably need reminders throughout the course. The main point for students to understand is that a summary is much shorter than the original text. Until they reach higher levels of English, keep to the single-paragraph summaries to simplify the process. This limit also requires you to only assign texts that can be summarized in one paragraph. We also have given some examples. Keywords: reading, writing and speaking skills.

Аннотация: возможно, вам придется учить своих студентов, как форматировать резюме более одного раза. Они могли очень хорошо понять это в первый раз, но, вероятно, понадобятся напоминания на протяжении всего курса. Главное, что студенты должны понять, это то, что резюме намного короче исходного текста. Пока они не достигнут более высокого уровня английского языка, придерживайтесь кратких сводок, чтобы упростить процесс. Это ограничение также требует от вас назначать только тексты, которые могут быть сведены в один абзац. Ключевые слова: навыки чтения, письма и разговорной речи.
Many people struggle with writing in English and it can seem like a real challenge to improve. Here are some simple steps that you can take to improve your written English and impress people with your writing skills. Here we want to give some explanations on how to improve reading and writing skills.
1. Learn the summary format. After explaining what a summary is and how long it should be, you should introduce your class to some words and phrases that can be included. The easiest way for students to begin writing summaries is to use the phrase:
"In [title of text], [name of author] explains/states/describes/believes/thinks/expects..."
Using this phrase to begin the summary usually helps students get right to the main idea of the text.
2. Ask questions while reading. Teach your students to ask questions about the text while they're reading. This certainly doesn't apply to just ESL students; all students require this type of instruction. If you have already read and discussed texts as a class, this step should be easier. While

discussing texts, you've already asked your students questions about what they have read. So your class should pick up on the cues and be able to ask their own questions. Some of the basic questions students should ask as they read include:
- What does the author want the reader to know?
- Why does the author have this opinion?
- How does the author prove his/her opinion?
- Does the author provide any suggestions/advice/solutions to a problem?
- What does this phrase mean? How is it related to the main idea or supporting points?
When students find the answers to their questions, they'll be able to write a summary more easily.
3. Find the main idea. ESL students sometimes have difficulty finding the main idea in a text. Of course, in higher levels of ESL, texts are purposely complex so that students must put ideas together to form one coherent main idea. Returning to the questions that students are asking while reading will help them find the main idea more quickly. If students struggle with writing thesis statements and topic sentences, it will be more difficult for them to find the main idea of an essay. Be sure to review these points of essay writing to make summary writing easier.
4. Identify the writer's opinion. While not every text will contain an opinion, you should still teach your students how to locate it. It will be easier in texts when the writers use phrases such as "I believe," "I think," etc. In higher levels, however, those phrases shouldn't be present, so students need to look for modals that imply an opinion.
5. Know the writer's purpose. While a text might not contain an opinion, there will still be a purpose for the students to find and write about. Why are your students reading this text? What are they supposed to understand after reading it?
Students should ask more questions about the text in this step. Most students will have already picked up on questions associated with this step while reviewing general questions they need to ask while reading. Questions to discover the writer's purpose could include:
- What type of essay is this (informative, persuasive, narrative)?
- Is the author trying to change my opinion of a subject?
- Is the author highlighting a problem?
6. Find supporting ideas. This step is usually the easiest for students. They have to look for points within the text that support the writer's opinion and purpose. It's a good idea to review which points are key points and which are minor points that don't need to be included in a summary. During your first lesson on summary writing, you can ask students whether or not they think they should include specific points from the text. This should give them a better idea of the difference between major and minor supporting ideas.
By following this process and using the supplemental resources, you will improve your students' reading comprehension and writing skills, while providing them with lessons that will carry over into their future education.
Writing can be daunting. However, the best way to improve is get a pen and paper or sit in front of your computer and actually write. Be prepared to write several versions of each text because even for professional writers, the first draft is never perfect. Remember, practice makes perfect, so now is the best time to sit down and get started with our advices.
Reading and writing are two skillsets that are imperative in school. Any successful student will tell you that both reading and writing are keys to improving grades and learning. You cannot be successful in school without reading and writing. Fortunately, these are two highly valuable skills that can also be easily improved. However, keep in mind that to get better at anything you must be dedicated to practicing regularly, the same goes for reading and writing. Here are some easy ways to improve your reading and writing skills to help you become a successful student.
