"What is the summary?"

Summary: is a short paragraph that contains the main idea and results of an original of a subjects or texts, but without opinion.
Paraphrase: is rewrite the words by your own words
Six basic steps for writing a summary are:

Step 1: Reading text or an event you want to read
Step 2: Think about MVP, and formulate the main idea in that text you read
Step 3: Try reread the text and underline VIPs and MVPs what the most important idea and things you think
Step 4: Write a sentence with author and title
Step 5: After that talk about VIPs and MVPs in facts with order of your text
Step 6: Just revise your summary and compare to original text
