      Summarization Techniques    Summary Writing Writing a piece of writing in a small format without changing the meaning is called summary writing. In other words a summary is a gist or central idea of what a piece of writing says. However, summary is flexible enough and it gives a lot of liberty to the writer. There is no fixed length of a summary. Sometimes a summary may be bigger than its original piece especially in case of poems. The technique of precise writing is used to summarize a piece of writing.    Precise Writing Precise writing involves rewriting a sentence using minimum number of words without change in the meaning e.g. Look at the following sentence:- The cricket match ended in such a situation in which no side could win. The above sentence may be rewritten in precise form (using minimum number of words without changing the meaning) as:- The cricket match ended in a draw. Or The cricket match was a tie.

  Unit 3 Communication What is communication? Communication involves the transmission of information from one person to another. Alternatively, we may call it the process of sharing information between two or more people. Linguistic Analysis of the Word "Communication" The word "communication" has been taken from Latin Words "Communicat" and "Communicare" which mean share information / intelligence and from another word "communis" which means "common." Definition of Communication Communication has been defined in many ways. Let us examine some definitions. They are as follows:- According to Newman and Summer, “It is an exchange of ideas, facts, opinions or emotions by two or more persons.” According to Glenn & Smith, “Communication is a dynamic process that individuals use to exchange ideas, relate experiences, and share desires through speaking, writing, gestures or sign language”.

He just walked out of the vill...
