3- you added some extra words such as "luck makes him lazy and depend on others". Laziness and self-dependence have not been mentioned in original paragraph. Therefore, you got (-2 Marks)
4- Your score from precis is 4/7
So your total score is (2.5/5+2/3-2+4/7=6.5/15 )

Oh such low marks. I deserved it.
But i have some reservations. Words do not matter but quality does. How can we right exat length of words given it is subjetive. So, 40 or 42 does not matter i have learnt our word limit can exeed or decline but it should be near to the actual targetted limit.
you added some extra words such as "luck makes him lazy and depend on others". Laziness and self-dependence have not been mentioned in original paragraph.
To your this point let me quote passage
Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman would bring him news of a legacy; labour turns out at six and with busy pen and ringing hammer lays the foundation of a competence.
The highlighted line indicates that beliver of luck does not want to do anything himself and relies on others.
This is my opinion. You can give your own further. And, thanks for your analysis.
