The Summarising Strategy - Week 4

We often use the summarising strategy when we are finding information out of books and texts.
I'll now show an example of the summarising strategy:

What you do is you find some key words out of a book or text and write them down on your computer or book. Then you you choose some of the key words and write a sentence  in your own words, because if you copy straight out of the book or text that's called plagiarism.  People can get into a lot of trouble if you are plagiarizing. 

Here is an example of a sentence:  

Key words

dog 
cat


Dogs love to chase cats because they do not like them out and about in their territory.
