Answer 1

When summarizing a text, you should remember to do the following:

1. **Leave out unnecessary details** - Focus on the main points and essential information, discarding extraneous details that do not contribute to the overall understanding.

2. **Be objective** - Present the information without inserting personal opinions or biases; the summary should reflect the original text's ideas.

3. **Include central ideas** - Capture the main themes, concepts, or arguments of the text to convey the core message in your summary.

All three points apply when summarizing a text.
