How to use "Summary" in context?
A summary is a short, highly compressed description of a document, article, or idea.
A good summary will highlight the main points of what you are writing about, and do so in a way that is easy for the reader to understand.
At its simplest, a summary should provide the reader with the key points of your document or article.
A summary should also be impartial and objective, and should not contain any biased or promotional content.
When writing a summary, it is important to be concise, logical, and to use clear and easy-to-read language.
