biloba tree which has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. In

the United States, Europe, and Asia, many people are taking Ginkgo supplements

and have enjoyed several benefits such as improved memory and sharpened

thinking.

Many scientific studies prove that Ginkgo extract has several benefits to the

human body. It has been proven to improve blood flow to the brain. This unique

benefit has led many to use Ginkgo supplements to treat ailments such as Autism

Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Alzheimer’s, dementia, attention-deficit hyperactivity

disorder (ADHD), depression, dyslexia, migraine, and drug addiction.

Page 11: English for Academic and Professional Purposes (EAPP)

In several medical studies, it was discovered that using Ginkgo extract improves

blood circulation. Ginkgo supplements, therefore, can be used to treat diseases

such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and can help in the recovery from

stroke. Ginkgo also gives significant benefits to people suffering from asthma,

vertigo, kidney disease, glaucoma, diabetes, and cancer. Also, people taking

Ginkgo supplements were found to have better memory and showed fewer signs of

aging.

The Ginkgo supplements are safe to take 3 to 5 times daily for maximum health

benefits. The supplements can be taken with other medicines and rarely cause

adverse side effects. Any person, young and old, can take the Ginkgo supplement,

so share the benefits of health with your family today!

Lesson

3 Summarizing

This lesson on summarizing will teach you how to discern the most important

ideas in a text, how to ignore irrelevant information, and how to integrate the central

ideas in a meaningful way. Learning to summarize will improve your memory for

what you have read. Also, there are techniques that you might have used before or

you will still learn in this module that are very helpful in coming up with a certain

summary of any academic texts.

Notes to the Teacher

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to

use this module. You also need to keep track of the learners'

progress while allowing them to manage their own learning.

Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the

learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

What’s New

This time, you will be engaged in an activity that will introduce you to our lesson.

Activity 3: Throwback and Tell

Directions: Recall at least one of the short stories or novels you discussed in one of

your previous classes in English. Then, retell the story by writing it on the box

provided below.

Page 15: English for Academic and Professional Purposes (EAPP)

11

Thank you for retelling such wonderful story! How did you do it? Kindly read the

descriptions written on the first column, then tell if you have done it or not by putting

a check (/) either on YES or NO. Make sure to select only one between the two options

in every description.

Descriptions YES NO

I wrote only one important part or idea of the story.

I wrote only my favorite parts of the story.

I wrote only the most interesting part of the story.

I copied the exact words, phrases, sentences or dialogue in the

story.

I added new information related to the story.

I quoted some lines from the story.

I added comments and opinions on the story

If you answered YES to at least one of the descriptions, you actually have done

the common mistakes of retelling or summarizing a story. But do not worry because

this module will help you improve and learn more about it.

What is It

Now, let us study the concepts related to your activity.

Summarizing is a short restatement of the main idea of the text. The output

is called a Summary. It is the shortened version, ideally, only one-third of the original

text. It contains the main points and important details of the text and should be

written in your own words.

For you to do proper summarizing, there are tips you can actually follow.

Tips in summarizing:

1. Read the original text not just once but several times. Make sure to

comprehend it well.

2. Identify the text structure (compare-contrast, cause-effect, sequence,

descriptive, question-answer, and problem-solution) by looking into how

the relationships between ideas are established.

3. Take note or highlight the important details in the text.

4. After getting the main idea and important details, write your preliminary

summary.

5. Make sure to use your own words.

6. Check if your work does not go stray from the original text.

7. Read it again and make necessary revision or editing.

Page 16: English for Academic and Professional Purposes (EAPP)

12

Aside from the general tips, you must also learn that there are various

techniques that you can use in summarizing academic texts.

Techniques in Summarizing:

1. Use of Graphic Organizers

The first technique is using graphic organizers. You may use “Who, What, When,

Where, Why, and How” as guide questions in making or using your graphic organizer.

Provided here are three examples of graphic organizers that you can use depending

on the kind of text you are going to summarize.

1.1. The first graphic organizer will require you to supply key points from the

text as well as the supporting details.

1.2. The second graphic organizer requires you to provide important

information from the text by answering the questions written inside the circles.

•Supporting Details

Page 17: English for Academic and Professional Purposes (EAPP)

1.3. The third graphic organizer will help you identify and organize the main ideas as well as the other supporting details and evidences from the text.

Using this will help you write a good summary.

What is the main idea of the text?

What are the supporting details?

What are the evidences or examples given?

2. Outline (traditional or modern)

The second technique in summarizing is through outlining. Yes, it is also a good

strategy that you can use in summarizing.

The sample given shows that through outlining you can easily organize the key

points, supporting points, evidences, and other important details needed in making

a good summary. You can decide whether to use the traditional format or the modern

format. You may use the sentence outline since your objective is to select important

details from the text in order to come up with a good summary.

Summarizing is a valuable skill needed in academic writing. You should know

how to summarize properly the information that you have read, seen, or heard. Most

assignments given in school require you to research, read and analyze information

from different sources. Hence, it is important that you know how to restate or retell

the original text using your own words in order to avoid plagiarism. Also, your

knowledge in summarizing is vital in writing your reports and research papers

particularly on writing the review of related literature, etc.

What’s More

Now that you have learned what is summarizing and other related concepts such

as the tips and the techniques in summarizing, it is time that you answer the

following activities.

Activity 4: Reading Time!

Directions: Read the following article very carefully and identify key points in the

text.

Aggressive Driving Should be Avoided

Aggressive driving is a phenomenon, which has only got the public worried. The

National Highway Traffic Safety Council (NHTSC) defines aggressive driving as the

“operation of a motor vehicle in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger

persons or property”. Actions such as running red lights, improper passing,

overtaking on the left, improper lane change, failing to yield, improper turns,

running stop signs, tail gaiting, careless driving, and speeding are examples of

Page 19: English for Academic and Professional Purposes (EAPP)

15

aggressive driving. Such actions are dangerous to other road users. Aggressive

driving should be avoided because it causes crashes, injuries and fatalities.

The first reason why aggressive driving should be avoided is it causes crashes.

According to NHTSC between 78 percent (excessive speed) and 100 percent

(improper passing) of the cases of aggressive driving resulted in traffic crashes and

96 percent of the drivers cited for “following too closely” or tail gaiting caused

crashes as a result of their aggressive driving. Moreover, ‘running red light,”

“improper passing”, and “overtaking on the left” topped other categories of

aggressive driving in contributing to traffic crashes.

Another reason why aggressive driving should be avoided is it causes injuries.

NHTSC states that the percentages of the injuries caused by aggressive driving are,

in almost all categories of aggressive driving, above 100 percent.

Aggressive driving also causes fatalities.” Overtaking on the left” appears to be

the most important contributing factor in traffic fatalities as it relates to aggressive

driving. “Improper lane change,” “running stop sign,” and “running red light” rank

second through four in terms of their contribution to traffic fatalities.

The above evidence shows that aggressive driving causes crash, injuries and

fatalities. Hence, aggressive driving should be avoided. Since the opening on the

North-South Highway, the number of kilometers of roads in the country has

increased by one percent while the number of vehicle miles driven has increased

by 35 percent. More cars and more drivers are also on the road leading to more

aggressive drivers.

After you have read and comprehended the text above, you are now going to

complete the notes of the key points from the text.

Activity 5: Using the Techniques

Directions: Summarize the article below using any of the aforementioned techniques

in summarizing.

Understanding Calories

A calorie, also known as kilocalorie, is a unit of energy. This unit represents the

energy required to heat a kilogram of water on degree Celsius. While people

generally link the term calorie with food, it is a unit of measurement that can be

applied to any substance possessing energy. For instance, there are 8200 calories

in a litter (about one quart) of gasoline.

Calories describe the potential energy in food to maintain bodily functions, grow

or repair tissue, and perform mechanical work such as exercise. Food calories may

take the form of fat, carbohydrates, or proteins. Once consumed, enzymes act on

these nutrients through metabolic processes and break them into their perspective

categories of fatty acids, glucose, and amino acids. These molecules travel through

the blood stream to specific cells where they are absorbed for immediate use or

sent on to the final stage of metabolism where they release their stored energy

through the process of oxidation.

The number of calories burned during an exercise depends on various factors

including body weight and the type of exercise. For example, an individual weighing

59 kilograms (130 pounds) would expend roughly 500 calories per hour swimming

or playing basketball. However, this same person would burn an estimated 200

walking or playing table tennis. In order to survive and maintain body weight, the

average individual requires approximately 2000 to 2500 calories per day. Gaining

or losing weight is a simple process. Add and subtract 7,700 calories over the

course of time to gain or lose a kilogram. Nutrition has nothing to do with it. It is

all about calories.

The Golden Age of Comics

The period from the late 1930s to the middle 1940s is known as the golden age

of comic books. The modern comic book came in the early 1930s in the United

States as a giveaway premium to promote the sale of the whole range of household

products such as cereal and cleanser. The comic books, which are printed in bright

colors to attract the attentions of potential customers, proved so popular that some

publishers decided to produce comic books that would come out on a monthly

basis and would sell for a dime each. Though comic strips had been reproduced in

publications prior to this time, the Famous Funnies comic book, which was started

in 1934, marked the first occasion that a serialized book of comics was attempted.

Early comic books reprinted already existing comic strips and comics based on

known characters, however, publishers soon began introducing original characters

developed specially for comic books. Superman was introduced in Action Comics

in 1938, and Batman was introduced a year later. The tremendous success of these

superhero comic books led to the development of numerous comic books on a

variety of topics, though superhero comic book predominated. Astonishingly, by

1945, approximately 160 different comic books were being published in the United

States each month, and 90 percent of US children were said to read comic books

on a regular basis.
