A summary selects the information relevant to a stated focus and expresses it concisely. Start by identifying the focus, then collect distinct points. Remove repeated examples, decorative description, and personal opinion unless the task specifically needs them. Combine related ideas and use your own wording where you can do so accurately. Shorter is not automatically better: an answer that loses an essential condition changes the meaning. A final check should ask whether the response includes the key information, excludes irrelevant detail, and respects the specified length.
අසන කරුණට අදාළ ප්රධාන තොරතුරු පමණක් තෝරා ඔබේ වචනවලින් කෙටියෙන් ලියන්න. නැවතීම් හා අනවශ්ය උදාහරණ ඉවත් කළත් මුල් අර්ථය හෝ වැදගත් කොන්දේසියක් වෙනස් නොකරන්න; නියමිත වචන ගණනත් බලන්න.
A useful reading response moves from a clear claim to a precise piece of evidence and then to an explanation. Return to the exact part of the text before deciding. Short evidence is usually easier to analyse than a long copied passage. Keep the wording of the question in mind so that an accurate observation also becomes a relevant answer.

At Stage 8, consider how context, viewpoint, and organisation shape a reader's response. Move beyond identifying a feature to explaining why it matters at that point in a text. In a draft, compare two possible choices and select the clearer or more effective one. Reasoned interpretation and accurate expression should develop together.
