Read the article “Psychological Sources of Stress” [starting on page 122 of the textbook] and the Sample Precis following it.
After you have read the article, with your language partner or imaginary friend:
(1) Compare the boldface phrases and sentences in the original excerpt with the completed precis and discuss whether you think all the main and secondary points are included.
(2) Decide which words you feel from the original excerpt were kept in the precis and the reasons why.
(3) Determine whether you think there is an ‘introduction’ and 'conclusion’ to the precis and the term you could use to identify first sentence of the precis.
(4) Decide what you would omit if the instructor / editor only wanted 100 words.
