First draft:
In order to become a good writer, one has to develop good reading habits; but this does not happen only by reading itself, one has to comprehend what’s the context of text and the structure on individual sentences. Only when we grasp the ideas that are expressed, one can really understand and start producing better written content. As one begins to apply the knowledge one has learned through reading and writing.
Our first draft was clearly not citing the autor, and also one of our sentences was too long, we were missing 2 sentences more in order to create a 5 sentences paragraph as teacher silvia asked us to do.
Final Summary:
In order to become a good writer, according to the text “Learning to Read and Write” by Dan Kurland (2000) you have to develop good reading habits. But this by itself does not happen by reading only, you also have to comprehend what’s the context of a text; on individual sentences and in a whole paragraph. Only when you can truly grasp the ideas that are expressed on each of these, you can really start producing better written content. As you start applying the knowledge you’ve acquired through practice both in reading and writing (syntactic and semantic comprehension each accordingly); You can start “realizing what we already know” by writing in a more resourceful manner like the author we might be trying to imitate. Probably in similar manners as how he arguments or states his facts or perhaps even better.

I really like your use of language, and also you understood pretty well the meaning of the article.
However, you didn’t create a propery paragraph, you could put together both.

Your summary obviously is better that the first one, you put the author’s name and the name of the text, also you did the minimum of sentences that make it a paragraph. However, I couldn’t understand the main idea because you weren’t very clear about it. And it doesn’t show the supporting ideas in clear way either.

That was a good summary not only because you contextualize the reader by putting the author and the text’s name, but you also remarked the main idea of the text. The only thing is that you made two paragraphs, and it was supposed to be just one paragraph.

You understood everything, wrote the author’s ideas properly and organice them in an understandable way. It is good that you also named the text and the author, but remember it is not necessary to name both of them. I personally liked your summary, but be aware of the number of sentences you use to write a paragraph. In this case, you wrote the right number of sentences, but you separeted them with an end period when you could’ve written all those sentences in one paragraph.
That’s all!
Take care and drink water ~
Keep reading, keep writing!

You did a good job, I find the main idea clearly, you use imking words and you keep a good structure. Also, you have some mistakes, for xample: you wrote 2 paragraph (we did it too xD) and the paragraph must to have minimal 5 senteces. You can do it better!

From your summary, I highlight your good language usage. I see you have a broad vocabulary. Nevertheless, I think it is confusing to understand your text because after introducing the author and text title you went right away explaining everything without writing the whole text’s main idea in a sentence but you did a good job!

You manage to trasnmit the essence and the purpose of the text.
be careful with using words as we, our, you. Given that when writing summaries, we are just painting an image of what the text was about, we do not involve ourselves in it.
