What are two important features of Precis Writing?

Some of the skills required for Precis Writing are:

• Keep the length to about one-third of the original passage.
• Write in the third person and use the past tense.
• Ensure logical flow and coherence throughout the summary.
• Maintain a neutral and objective tone.
• Avoid copying sentences verbatim, except for e

The ten golden rules of precis writing include identifying the central idea, avoiding the repetition of key sentences from the original text, ensuring brevity and clarity, showcasing the writer's understanding, using original language, refraining from direct speech, incorporating statistical details

A good precise writing should follow the below guidelines to avoid errors:

• The sentence must be short and clear
• Use easy words which are easy to understand
• It should be written in own words
• It must be 1/3^rd of the original text

Generally a precise writing in written in present tense only if the event has not ended. Also, precise must be written in reported or indirect speech i.e., in third person (he, she, it, they).

The precise writing helps in providing text briefly and as clear as possible. The important ideas are provided and the irrelevant information are cut down. Precise text provides the central ideas and saves time from reading long texts.
