• Read the headline carefully. 
• Read the text again to understand more details. You must have understood the whole text.
• Make notes (use keywords). 
• Underline important words in the text. 
• Form sentences with the help of your keywords. These sentences should reflect the main content of the text. 
• Connect the sentences using suitable conjunctions. The first sentence should describe the main content of the text. 
• Use Simple Present or Simple Past. Write sentences in Reported speech. 
• Sometimes you have to change the persons.
