Precis
Precising Tactics
1. Read passage repeatedly until you get main idea
2. Mark/high-lite important topics relevant to the theme of the topic
3. Cut/delete unimportant illustrations, examples and quotations
4. Arrange all important topics in systematic and logical order
5. Use on-word substitution where necessary (inevitable, illegible, irreversible, impossible)
6. write precis in own words, don't copy words from given passage
7. Use indirect narration.
8. use past tense except describing universal facts.
9. conjunction may be replaced with semicolon.
10. One third length should be maintained
11. Give tittle even if it is not asked
12. Language and style should be simple and clear.
