【原文】

M: I got my book report back from my teacher, and she said I need to work on how I summarize things on paper.

W: What were you trying to summarize?

M: It’s a book we were reading in class. We had to give a brief summary of the plot.

W: When I used to read textbooks, I always tried to summarize what I had learned by speaking it out loud. Then I just wrote it down on the paper.

M: Really?

W: If I couldn’t do it, I knew I had to go back and read it again. Once I could do it naturally and smoothly, I wrote it down.

M: That makes sense.

W: Here, take this. Read today’s news, and then try and explain it to me.

M: What if I can’t?

W: Then keep trying until you can.
