A well-written précis should be a serviceable substitute for the original work. The goal is to preserve the core essence of the work in a manner that is both clear and concise. At a minimum, the précis should include the topic or main thesis, first extensive reading and afterwards intensive will mark an impression on readers mind.

In precis one must compress and clarify a passage while retaining important concepts, key words, and important data. Remove what is superfluous and retain the core essence of the work.

Give a brief description of key terms and ideas and when finished, the précis should clearly state.

Regards.
