Writing
Summarize written text-
• Create a complex-compound sentence
• First, know the main idea of the text.
• I read and understand the text for 3 minutes. Then, 7 mins for writing a sentence.
• Ang ginawa ko dito, I copied three important sentences containing the key ideas (word
for word) from the text. With this scheme, maiiwasan kong ma off topic, kasi may
guide na ako sa flow ng thoughts.
• I connected the first 2 sentences with “FANBOYS” conjunctions. Oftentimes, I only use
/,and/ /,but/ /,yet/ /,or/ /,so/.
• Add the last sentence using conjunctive adverbs (; moreover,)(; furthermore,)( ;
therefore,)( ; indeed,)( ; consequently,)( ; nevertheless, )(; however,)( ; on the other
hand,)( ; hence,). Note that there is a semicolon before the conjunctive adverb and a
comma after it.
• After creating a complex-compound sentence using “FANBOYS” conjunctions and
conjunctive adverb, dito na ako nag re-replace ng words with the corresponding
synonyms to boost vocabulary score. Then, pag may time pa, I paraphrase few lines.
• Mostly, maraming words from the text ang ginagamit ko lalo na if wala na talagang ma
isip na synonyms. By using this strategy, consistent naman yung superior marks ko sa
communicative and enabling skills related to writing, sa awa ng Panginoon.
