How to Write a Précis is designed to teach students how to read and comprehend
a text, and then reduce its length without omitting the essential details or
radically altering the style of the original. It contains theoretical
background, practical step-by-step instructions on how to write a précis,
sample précis, and a variety of exercises. Also included are sections on
popularizing and abstracting.
Its tightly organized structure and straightforward, direct style make How to

English as a second language, and of all types of English Composition. It is
intended for use in universities, community colleges, high schools, and in
adult education. The exercises have been carefully chosen and organized so as
to provide optimum hands-on learning experience for the reader; they vary in
difficulty, so that the teacher may select those that suit the level of
proficiency and the special interests of a particular group of students.
