Effective prcis writing means, but just writing indifferent words what the original contains. It is notmerely paraphrasing of the original passage nor a listof its main pints. Once the subject matter is clearly
understood then unity and coherence of thoughtprocess is required. The skill of organization of ides,logical sequencing of points, clear and meaningfulexpression, use of language suitable to the situation areessential for writing prcis effectively. The writer ofprcis must be able to identify the essential ideas in agiven passage and separate them from nonessentialidea. But as the same time a prcis is not a creativewriting, inasmuch a s it merely a condensedrestatement of the original writers ideas, points, etc.

express an elaborate idea or co-related
information in a s few words as possible is an
important feature of prcis writing. Now let us
consider the qualities that make a good prcis,
steps for writing effective prcis and some
methods for abridging the expressions of
