Do’s of Precis Writing

Start your precis with the main idea so that reader can quickly understand the essence of the precis.

He/she will know beforehand as to what should they expect in the written precis.

While writing a precis, make a suitable environment where all the points can be described and discussed equally.

As the main idea or the essence is established, you can follow it up with some methods, facts, points, etc.

As a precis is concise, compress it and make sure that the length is available for you to retain the important data, keywords, and the concept.

Removing the irrelevant data or sentence is as important as writing the relevant points.

Thus, identify the superfluous data and facts and keep the core idea of the work only in the precis.

If you are mentioning anything related to history or any historical data than make sure that it is written in the past tense only.

Also, remember to put the purpose as to why you are writing a precis in the writing piece.

This will help the reader understand what you wrote in the precis.

Dont’s of Precis Writing

A precis writing is a formal way of writing a shorter form of the given paragraph.

So, even though you have read and understood the Precis well, do not form your own opinions.

You cannot insert your own remarks and criticism in a precis.

Always take the fact and data that is given in the paragraph only.

Also, during a precis writing, you cannot insert a question. If for any reason you need to insert make it in the form of a statement.

For a precis writing, avoid using contractions and abbreviations.

Write the full form of any given words only.

Avoid being jerky. This will show that you have not understood the passage properly and have started writing a precis.

How Good a Precis Can Be?

Now that we have understood what things you should do and what things you shouldn’t while doing a precis, let’s understand what a good precis is? That is to say what things should be included for a good precis? A good one should include this rules of precis writing.

It should be precise and clear

A precis writing is not just lifting the words from the original paragraph

It should be written in a precise manner in your own words

It should be a summary or a miniature version of the original paragraph

The precis must be logically connected and should have a good flow of words

It should be coherent and for this, it can use the linking words such as and, because, therefore, etc.

A precis should have an appropriate title and the order ideas need to be original

The details found in the precis must match the details found in the paragraph

When all of these above points are understood and used in a precis, a good precis is bound to be written.

The Greek philopsphers worked more by observation and experiments rather than making mere claims and statements unlike the ones in recent times .Be it Democritus,Thales,Anaxagoras,Socrates,Plato or Aristotle;they all believed that philosphy was more than epistemology,they changed perceptions and ideas of people about philosphy.They proved that it is not a mysterious dilaectic school but it contributes in collecting knowledge in every feild to build up human character.
