Ahh, well, that's the whole point of doing a summary, isn't it? Cutting out all the redundant stuff and highlighting the most important parts. It takes quite a bit of practice to master summarising, and it could take you quite long if you're new at it.

  • You've got to read the whole story a couple of times first, then jot down the parts you think are the core of the story, changing the wording to make it shorter, omitting anything which doesn't really need to be there.
  • Until you've got the right number of words you've got to keep going over it again and again.

Also a common mistake is to take words directly from the story and put them in your summary. A couple quotations are fine in a summary if it illustrates something and the exact quote is important. But be sure to put everything in your own words.
