SUMMARY WRITING TIPS

I have read wonderful tips so far but I think there is still enough room for some more, so I would suggest the following tips:
- Focus on your reader and context as both will determine the register, style and specific language you will use to put through your ideas.
- Prepare a draft about the topic you will write an academic summary, extract the main concepts of the text, paraphrase them  to avoid plagiarism, use rich carefully chosen vocabulary, structures and grammatical categories, then organize your sentences and paragraphs wisely to make your summary appealing.
I believe that the effective use of empathy  together with exquisite language, hooks your reader in academic writing.
