单词 | a summary |
释义 | summaryDefinition An overview of content that provides a reader with the overarching theme, but does not expand on specific details. A summary describes a larger work (such as an entire book, speech, or research project), and should include noticeably less content then the original work. Summaries can save a reader time because it prevents the reader from having to actually go through and filter the important information from the unimportant. "Ben was able to review the well-written summary provided by his peer, instead of re-reading the entire textbook, and as a result he still received an A on his mid-term." Use 'summary' in a SentenceWhen you aren't certain if you are interested in reading a book, it can be helpful to read the summary provided on the back cover. I read a very long and interesting book but my husband had no time to read the book himself so I gave him a quick verbal summary of the what the story was about. As he was running late for another meeting Jimmy did not have the time to examine the document page by page, opting instead to just read the summary. |
