Précis writing for beginners
The object of this little book is to teach prcis writing from the very start. It has been found from experience that the average boy who in the Lower Fifth Form starts making prcis of Government Blue Books and Collected Correspondence, will flounder about for a whole term without understanding what he is really expected to do. The following exercises are progressive and the rules of strict prcis writing are learnt one by one. The exercises are really very simple parodies of Government Reports, &c., such as a boy will have to deal with in the higher forms and the Army Examinations. They are arranged in groups, e.g. Reports, Correspondence, Trials, Ships Logs, and so forth. After working through the series a boy should be perfectly competent to tackle the real thing. A prcis is the essence of a longer story of any kind. You take your story and boil it down, so as to get rid of all the parts that do not really matter; you then collect what is left, and put these points together in a short concise summary. But the result must not be a list of important points, or a series of jottings. It must be the same story told clearly and readably, in a very much condensed form. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
