What is a summary?
A summary is a short overview of the main points of an article or other source, written entirely in your own words.
A summary is always much shorter than the original text. The length of a summary can range from just a few sentences to several paragraphs; it depends on the length of the article you’re summarizing, and on the purpose of the summary.

READ FOR WRITING
An epidemic is the rapid spread of an infectious disease over a short period of time, causing a large number of deaths, the number of which differs for different diseases.
Professor Jim Smith conducted a study to compare the bird flu epidemic which occurred in 1997 with other deadly epidemics in our history. He found that the earliest epidemics took place as early as 500 to 550 CE, which killed half of the population in that particular area.
READ FOR WRITING
The same epidemic, called “The Black Death" returned in the 1330s in Asia and spread quickly to Europe. Some hundred years later, the Great Flu epidemic broke out in 1918, also known as the Spanish Flu, killing 50 million people. This was considered the most severe epidemic in human history. The 1997 bird flu which claimed over 100 lives was an adaptation of the Great Flu of 1918.
READ FOR WRITING
At the start of the 21st century, there were two major epidemics: SARS and EVD. The more recently discovered SARS disease infected about 8,000 people. According to
official records EVD has killed more than 11,310 people in West Africa alone.
Globally, researchers are coming together to try to identify the causes for epidemics and help to find effective treatments.

FOCUS ON STRUCTURE AND LANGUAGE
Cloning is the process of making an exact copy of a plant or animal and developing it either naturally or artificially. Natural cloning has been going on for generations. For example, gardeners have been using a form of cloning when they take a cutting from a plant and place it in a suitable medium, such as soil. Another example of natural cloning is identical twins, who are produced from the same egg.
Read the paragraph below. Summarise the paragraph in one sentence.
