Wn I try to write articles in my own wording , am not able to collect words in my mind . Am facing prblm in writing summary plz help

Thank you so much ma’am. Sometimes we just miss the obvious. After reading this article, i flipped through my notes and saw much scope for improvement. I was always weighed down by scouting for various aspects for an issue , and nailing the rights keywords to make my notes fruitful. However, it was very much draining. I realized i am probably laying too much stress on keywords and losing my originality . So today, i dropped my pen , and just read the article in newspaper without the tendency to judge it , and then just kept the newspaper aside and tried penning down what i understood. I surprised myself by the flow i achieved , the important points i summarised , without the cost of doing away with keywords. thank you so much because this article nudged me towards an exercise which lifted a very heavy psychological weight off my mind, because at the end of the day, we can’t carry everything to the examination room except our understanding in our own words. Thank you for sharing your notes, that helped me gain the confidence that i have been longing to achieve in my preparation.

read the notes uploaded by her before following the advice blindly. these are supposed to be her best work.

i had met her before results (during interview prep). she was clueless as s#it about even basic stuff. These are post facto analysis done by toppers at later stage. avoid such half baked knowledge.

But, i have no credentials, so you are welcome to trash my arguments.

This is most important… Thanks a lot

Even if you read editorials you must not take more than 1.5 h, because important editorials perday would be hardly more than 2……(for example in todays hindu paper almost all editorial content is repeated)….you must be very selective in reading news articles bcoz each editorial is equal to an essay….and if u read all of them daily its would be overwhelming……..:)
