Summarising is a useful skill for many purposes, including studying, research, and communication.
To improve comprehension: Summarising helps us to understand and remember the main ideas of a text by distilling complex or lengthy information into a more easily digestible format.

To communicate effectively: Summaries can be used to communicate information to others in a clear and concise way, making it easier for them to understand and retain the information.
