概要写作的概念
《牛津高阶英语词典》:A summary is a brief statement that gives only the main points of something, not the details.
概要(summary)是一种对原始文章的主要观点或者事实进行浓缩加工并构建语义连贯短文的过程。
Brandon & Brandon (2014)认为概要写作是用自己的语言来表达主旨的一种书面的、浓缩版的写作任务。
一、从概要写作要求看能力需要
基于概念的解读
不是新创作,无需对文章内容进行评价或解释,无需添加描述或是进行意义重建,只是在充分理解原文的基础上,吸收原文的结构和语言,写出内容一致、结构相似、口吻一致、语义连贯、语言简洁的短文。

以2019年6月浙江高考概要写作真题为例。
Parents everywhere praise their kids. Jenn Berman, author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy and Confident Kids, says, "We've gone to the opposite extreme of a few decades ago when parents tended to be more strict." By giving kids a lot of praise, parents think they're building their children's confidence, when, in fact, it may be just the opposite. Too much praise can backfire and, when given in a way that's insincere, make kids afraid to try new things or take a risk for fear of not being able to stay on top where their parents' praise has put them.
Still, don't go too far in the other direction. Not giving enough praise can be just as damaging as giving too much. Kids will feel like they're not good enough or that you don't care and, as a result, may see no point in trying hard for their accomplishments.
So what is the right amount of praise Experts say that the quality of praise is more important than the quantity. If praise is sincere and focused on the effort not the outcome, you can give it as often as your child does something that deserves a verbal reward." We should especially recognize our children's efforts to push themselves and work hard to achieve a goal, "says Donahue, author of Parenting Without Fear: Letting Go of Worry and Focusing on What Really Matters. "One thing to remember is that it's the process not the end product that matters."
Your son may not be the best basketball player on his team. But if he's out there every day and playing hard, you should praise his effort regardless of whether his team wins or loses. Praising the effort and not the outcome can also mean recognizing your child when she has worked hard to clean the yard, cook dinner, or finish a book report. But whatever it is, praise should be given on a case-by-case basis and be proportionate(相称的) to the amount of effort your child has put into it.

To boost their confidence, parents tend to overpraise children, which may have opposite effects. However, inadequate praise can be equally harmful, causing them to be disheartened. Actually, experts suggest that parents stress the quality of their sincere praise, focusing on the effort and process. Besides, parents should also be aware that praise needs to be based on specific tasks and in accordance with children's efforts.
