Précis+writing

 **Précis Writing ** **__The origin of précis writing __ ** Précis is a French word, which means ” exact” and “terse”, so in précis writing, the shorter the version, the better. **__Definition of précis writing __ ** A précis is a brief summary, written in your own words, of a longer piece of writing. It is a condensed version of the essential content of the original material. A précis contains on comments or opinions of your own. It contains no details, no examples, and no illustrations. The language should be clear and concise, with all unnecessary words left out. It should be the shortest possible account of what you have read. **__Differences among an abstract, a summary and a pr __ ****__<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #313131; font-family: 宋体; font-size: 20px; text-align: left; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: auto;">é __ ****<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 宋体,MS Song; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">__<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #313131; font-family: 宋体,MS Song; font-size: 20px; text-align: left; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: auto;">cis. __ ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 宋体,MS Song; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 宋体,MS Song; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">1、 Pr <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 宋体; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">é <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 宋体,MS Song; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">cis : A pr<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 宋体; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">é <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 宋体,MS Song; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">cis is a brief statement of a speech of a piece of writing such as a report, a newspaper article ,or a chapter in a book in your own words to give only the main idea of the original. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 宋体,MS Song; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 宋体,MS Song; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">2、Abstract: A shortened form of a statement or speech especially of a scholarly sort E.g. the abstract of a thesis; the dissertation. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 宋体,MS Song; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 宋体,MS Song; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">3、 Summary: Short amount of something longer, giving the main points.

The course was extremely difficult and few horses were expected to finish. All eyes were on the favourites, College Boy and Sweet Seventeen. Both horses had won a great many races in the past and they had equal chances of winning now. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 宋体,MS Song; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #313131; font-family: 宋体,MS Song; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Though the horses got off to a good start, it was not long before over half of them were out of the race. As was expected, College Boy and Sweet Seventeen had got well in front with the remaining horses grouped together some way behind. On a sharp corner, three of the horses leading the group fell, throwing the riders behind into great confusion. As the race progressed, the track became full of horses without riders. Towards the end, there were only three horses left: College Boy and Sweet Seventeen were still leading with an unknown horse, Tom Thum, a very long way behind. The crowd was very disappointed when on the last jump in the race. the riders of both favourite horses failed to keep the saddle. Everyone roared with delight when College Boy continued by himself and“won”the racewithout his rider! Tom Thum now took his time and the crowd cheered and applauded as he crossed the finishing line without a rival in sight." <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 宋体,MS Song; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">**//<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #313131; font-family: 宋体,MS Song; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Possible answer: //** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 宋体,MS Song; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #313131; font-family: 宋体,MS Song; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">As soon as the race began, the favourites, College Boy and Sweet Seventeen, went ahead. On a dangerous bend a few riders went over and most of the horses following fell out of the race. Towards the end,there were only three left: the favourites and an unknown horse, Tom Thubm. However, the riders of both favourites fell too, though College Boy continued by himself and“won”. Since Tom Thumb was now on his own, he became the real winner.
