What is a Summary?

A summary is a short explanation of something you read. Is a completely different way to say the Main Idea and the important points of the reading. Is when you paraphrase and give more explanation about the facts without using your personal opinion. Keep it short and sweet. The summary should be just enough to cover the main points and not include too many details.
