Precis Writing | How to write a Precis | Steps | Examples | Writing Skills

What is Precis?
A precis is a summary of the essentials of a text.
It is the gist or main theme of a passage expressed in as few words as possible preferably 1/3rd of the original text.
It must have three C's in it.
1. Clear
2. Concise
3. Complete
Why Precis is required?
1. Precis-writing is an excellent exercise in reading.
Precis-writing forces you to pay attention to what you read; So our attention gets improved a lot.
2. Precis-writing is also a very good exercise in writing a composition.
Most of us repeat ourselves a lot while writing and unnecessarily exaggerate the content.
but Precis-writing teaches one how to express one's thoughts clearly, concisely, and effectively.
The six steps of precis writing are :
1. reading
2. Analyze
3. Provide a suitable title
4. Initial Draft
5. Revise and Edit
6. Final Copy.

[@reeds131]

Tnx for the lesson sir. But i hv a doubt regarding the writing pattern. As, u hv mentioned to write in a "indirect speech" or "3rd person singular" form while writing precise,,,, but u hv started yours precise with "WE" which is 1st person plural right? Hence, its bit confusing.... Can i start my precise as- "Man donot know what to do with their knowledge.......xxxxxxx

[@mavidoton162]

I have a question. It's a rule not to use first person expression for example 'I' and 'we' and always use third person expression/perspective while writing precis. But in the example,you used "we" which is first person expression. Won't that be wrong!?
