Summary schreiben (Englisch) – Schritt-für-Schritt einfach erklärt!

Deine Aufgabe ist es, auf Englisch eine Summary zu schreiben ? Wir geben dir die wichtigsten Infos, Tipps und Vokabelhilfen für eine top Inhaltsangabe!

Was ist eine Summary?

„Summary“ ist das englische Wort für „Inhaltsangabe“ – nicht zu verwechseln mit „ Essay “! Du fasst also einen gelesenen Text auf Englisch zusammen und gibst die wesentlichen Informationen kurz und präzise in deinen eigenen Worten wieder.

Summary schreiben – So gehst du am besten vor

• Lies die Überschrift und den Text aufmerksam durch, um einen ersten Eindruck zu bekommen.
• Oft hilft es, den Text ein zweites oder drittes Mal zu lesen, um alle Details zu verstehen.
• Markiere wichtige Wörter und Phrasen.
• Schreibe dir Stichpunkte auf.
• Beantworte alle W-Fragen (Wer, Was, Wann…)
• Schreibe die Einleitung der Summary.
• Fasse die wesentlichen Informationen des Textes im Hauptteil zusammen.
• Beende die Summary mit dem Schlussteil .

Oft ist es hilfreich, bei der Markierung des Textes verschiedenfarbigen Stifte zu verwenden, z.B. für unterschiedliche W-Fragen.

In den folgenden Abschnitten erklären wir dir, worauf es bei den einzelnen Teilen – Einleitung, Hauptteil und Schluss – ankommt.

Summary Englisch – Einleitung

Im Einleitungssatz deiner Summary fasst du folgende Punkte zusammen:

• text type (Textart), z.B. novel, article, poem, speech, short story…
• title (Titel des Textes) in Anführungszeichen
• author (Verfasser)
• date (Erscheinungsjahr)
• main topic (Hauptthema des Textes)

Ein mögliches Muster für einen Einleitungssatz ist:

The [text type] “title“ written by [author] and published in [date] deals with [main topic].

Beispiel : The novel “Brave New World” , written by Aldous Huxley published in 1932, is about a nightmarish vision of a sterile futuristic society.

Beachte: Bei einem Zeitungsartikel solltest du auch den Namen der Zeitung angeben, in der dieser erschienen ist:

The newspaper article „Climate and Environment“ written by George Brown was published in „The New York Times” in October 2016. It deals with the causes and consequences of global warming.

Im Hauptteil deiner Summary solltest du die wichtigsten Infos bzw. Aussagen des Textes herausstellen.

Hierfür kann es sinnvoll sein, den Text in Abschnitte zu gliedern. Je nach Textart solltest du auch die zentralen W-Fragen beantworten:

• Wer handelt/um welche Person(en) geht es?
• Was passiert?
• Wann findet die Handlung statt?
• Wo findet die Handlung statt?
• Warum kam es dazu?

Es kann hilfreich sein, die W-Fragen zuerst stichpunktartig oder in Tabellenform zu notieren.

Wir haben für dich einige hilfreiche Vokabeln zusammengetragen, die dir das Schreiben des Hauptteils vereinfachen.

Fasse im Schlussteil die wichtigsten Aussagen des Textes noch einmal zusammen. In der Regel genügen 1-2 abschließende Sätze. Auch hier solltest du dich kurz fassen.

Folgende Ausdrücke eignen sich für den Schlussteil:

Tipps - das solltest du beachten

• Zeitform der Summary ist das Simple Present
• Keine Details : Konzentriere dich nur auf die wesentlichen Informationen
• Vermeide überflüssige Infos, halte dich kurz und knapp
• Schreibe die Summary in deinen eigenen Worten und übernehme keine Sätze aus dem Text
• Benutze keine Zitate
• Wandle direkte Rede in indirekte Rede um
• Neutral und sachlich: Konzentriere dich auf die Fakten und schreibe ohne Wertung
• Vermeide Ausdrücke, die deine eigene Meinung wiedergeben, wie “In my opinion” oder “I think”!
• Benutze keine Spannungselemente (z.B. „Suddenly…“), sondern eine sachliche Sprache
• Verwende Verbindungswörter (connectives), um die Summary stilistisch flüssig zu gestalten

Summary schreiben (1)

Read the following text about Meg and answer the questions.

Meg Stevens, London I’m a teenager, seventeen years old. My teenage years haven’t really been as good as they could have been; they are over now because I have a baby daughter and I’m a single mother. By the time my six-month-old daughter is able to look after herself, I’ll be thirty-something, and too old to do the things that I am now missing out on. I would love to go clubbing and be like all the other teenagers who are enjoying themselves. Unfortunately, I’ll never have these things, but I’m the one to be blamed: it’s all my fault. I should have taken something to prevent me getting pregnant. I got pregnant by my first boyfriend – just imagine. He didn’t want the baby, but I wouldn’t have an abortion. I was terribly scared. My boyfriend wouldn’t marry me, of course. He wanted to be free, and above all, his parents disapproved. He simply said: “I don’t want to listen to a screaming baby all day long. There is more to life than wasting my time on a baby.” I got used to the idea after a while, and I couldn’t wait to put the clothes I’d bought on the baby. My boyfriend didn’t care at all – he bought her nothing whatsoever. I never really thought about what it would be like to stay in every night while I was expecting; I was so used to going out whenever I wanted. She’s already been born, and I love her, but I do wish that I were still free. Before I got pregnant, I was still going to school – I was in my last year. I hated being a pupil, but now I think it's a pity that I haven’t done my A-levels yet. I wish I could do it right now. Maybe I’ll never pass them, and I've always wanted to go to university; I’d like to become a doctor – some day. If I had the chance to go back in time, I would, and I’d make sure I didn’t get pregnant the second time around. I would have a baby after I got married, but I’d want to be at least twenty-six years old.

1. What does Meg blame herself for? 2. What did her boyfriend's parents think about the pregnancy? 3. What does Meg think about her school career? 4. What was one of Meg's favourite free-time activities?

Complete the following sentences about Meg. Use the information from the text at hand, but do not copy it. Use your own words instead.

• Meg is quite frustrated because __________________________________.
• One reason for her frustration is the fact __________________________________.
• Unfortunately, her ex-boyfriend __________________________________.
• To make matters worse, __________________________________.
• Having no proper school degree, __________________________________.
• Meg feels like __________________________________.
• She is not against the baby, but __________________________________.

Sum up the text about Meg. Stick to the criteria that are important for summary writing.

We can now start the summary writing exercises with the first passage. It is about why one needs to hire the services of a personal injury attorney after a car accident.

Summary Exercise 1

Read the following passage on hiring a car insurance attorney carefully and answer the questions that follow.

SUMMARY PASSAGE ON WHEN TO HIRE A CAR INSURANCE ATTORNEY

The decision to hire a car insurance attorney after a car accident has never been an easy one. This is because most car accident victims have little knowledge regarding when it is necessary to hire the services of a lawyer after a car accident.

According to AllLaw.com, one of the most respected legal advice websites in the US, there are very good reasons to hire a a car insurance attorney after a car accident. They insist that allowing an attorney to be in charge of your legal battles with insurance companies and other stakeholders can be the smartest move after you suffered an automobile accident.

Usually, car accidents involving serious or long-term injuries require an attorney to get the most desirable outcome. For this reason, having an experienced and articulate advocate working for you is essential in obtaining a reasonable and fair resolution in your car accident case.

An automobile accident brings with it a host of questions. Who is at fault? Who pays for damage to my car? Who will pay for my medical bills? How much should I get for pain and suffering? Can I ask the insurance company to reimburse me for lost wages? An experienced injury attorney can be extremely helpful in negotiating the often chaotic and confusing world of insurance claims and settlements.

Because most injury attorneys work on a contingent-fee basis, and only get paid if there is a successful resolution to your claim, there is often little incentive to try to handle these types of claims on your own, unless no injuries or serious damage were involved and a settlement would be very small. If you’re injured in a car accident, then hiring a lawyer will almost always ensure a much better settlement.

Hiring a personal injury attorney to represent you after a car accident means you will have a professional working for you — one who is extremely knowledgeable about the relevant laws and procedural rules that may affect your case.

A car insurance attorney can advise you of any time limits (called statutes of limitations) that can bar you from filing a lawsuit against the at-fault driver. For instance, in many states you must file your lawsuit within two years of your car accident or be forever prohibited from filing your lawsuit. An attorney will also be able to inform you about any special exceptions to the statute of limitations — for minors, for example.

Your personal injury attorney can file a lawsuit on your behalf and will know how best to mitigate any possible defenses raised by the other side. In addition, once your case gets under way, your lawyer will play an invaluable role in preparing your case for trial — and even going to trial if your case doesn’t settle.

Even though a lawsuit is rarely necessary, the threat of legal action offers strong leverage when negotiating a fair settlement.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, hiring a car insurance attorney who is knowledgeable about the law evens the playing field, especially when you are going up against the experience and vast resources of a large insurance company.

There is a lot of work that goes into negotiating an insurance settlement and trying a personal injury lawsuit. After you have been in a car accident, taking on this time-consuming work may be the last thing you want to do, assuming you’re able. An attorney can do it all for you.

Whereas this may be your first time dealing with the ins and outs of an accident claim, injury attorneys have dealt with all manner of claims and a variety of insurance companies. They have experience obtaining the necessary evidence to support your claim, including gathering police reports, witness statements, medical records and bills, and employment and lost wage information.

Your personal injury attorney will also be able to organize the evidence and prepare a settlement demand letter for the insurance company. If you are unable to settle your accident case, your attorney can take care of filing the necessary paperwork to start a court case and can deal with the defense attorneys on your behalf. Having someone knowledgeable handling the hard work of your case eases the burden on you, which is especially important if you have been seriously injured and are trying to recover from your injuries.

Perhaps the most important way a car insurance attorney can help you with your car accident case is by being your advocate. This means that your attorney acts on your behalf and for your benefit throughout the entire claims process (negotiating with the automobile insurance company) and even in court if a lawsuit becomes necessary. He or she will be your champion before the judge, jury and other attorneys, making sure that your side of the story is heard and that you are compensated for all of your losses.

Questions and Answers #1

a. In one sentence, state the reason why the writer thinks it should not be difficult to hire an injury attorney after an accident.

ANS. The client pays the attorney only after a succesful completion of the case.

b. In two sentences, summarize two qualities of a personal injury attorney that can benefit their clients.

ANS. i. A personal injury attorney is knowledgeable about the law. ii. He has a good deal of experience.

c. In one sentence, state when it is most necessary to allow an attorney to do the difficult legal tasks following a car accident.

ANS. This is when the accident victim is seriously injured.

d. In two sentences, state the two main functions that an attorney performs with institutions as an advocate for his client.
