Q : Since question is asked to write a comprehensive note, so should we write it one paragraph or can we make 2 or 3 small paragraphs ?

[B][U][SIZE="3"]Precise[/SIZE][/U][/B]

Q: Sometimes, Passage given for precise consist of more than one paragraphs, should we make its precise in one paragraph or can we do it in more than one?

Q: if passage content give sense that is matching with some quote/saying, can we title the precise with that quote?


Please reply soon.

Thanks.

Expansion is usually 250 words, which means about two sides, and 3-5 paragraphs, depending on the size of your paragraphs, but most definitely more than 2 paragraphs, and its a good idea to paras short as they are easier 2 understand.

[B]Precis[/B]

The whole purpose of precis is to be brief, succint, and compact, ideal length of precis should be one third of the original passage, which means that if the passage is 300 words long than your precis should be around 100 words or less. Precis is not written in paragraphs, usually a precis should exceed no more than 7-8 lines.

Using direct quotations from the passage is highly discouraged, and no marks will be given for using it as title, the examiners want creativity, not some copy and paste exercise,

I hope your confusion is cleared, all the best!
