A summary should include the main idea or thesis, the most important supporting points, and the overall conclusion or purpose, presented concisely and in your own words. Good summaries are accurate, omit minor details and examples, and remain objective rather than evaluative. A summary should not include new information or personal interpretation, because that changes the original meaning and can mislead the reader.
