This is another CXC past paper type summary writing question

(with suggested answer)

These are the types of summary writing questions that have been on section 1, Paper 2
of the CXC English A exam

(Suggested time: 35 minutes)

Summarise what the the writer says about the Workers' Union in not more than 110 words.

Sometimes when social history is recorded it is often distorted to suit not its historical truth but present day circumstances. However, there is no need for this fear when accounting for the Workers' Union. The truth is, as an organization it has remained true to its founding principles. Uppermost in the minds of its founders were principles that still live today in the hearts of all its members.

The seventies was in fact a period of change, a period of revolt against the old order, a period when the entire society questioned itself. A mood of militancy pervaded the working class and bank workers were not left out. The 1970's (even in the 1960's the militancy of the youth and workers was manifested in a number of ways) were exciting times to say the least. The University was alive with debate, discussions and ideas. Political parties were formed and they created powerful stirrings within society. The social crisis, the demand for change of the old status quo, the international issues, all had their influences. It was in the period that the Workers' Union was born.

Today, the Workers' Union represents many workers in over sixty companies including professional employees at prestigious financial institutions. We are now the recognised representatives for workers in the financial sector as well as in research organisations, that has now become an institution.

(with suggested answer)

This is the type of summary writing question that has been on
CXC CSEC English A past papers

Read the following passage and then, in not more than 80 words, summarize Dr. Tristan's views about man's treatment of the oceans.

NB: CXC suggests spending no more than 40 minutes to answer a summary writing question.

Interviewer:	Today is my very great pleasure to welcome Dr. Tristan, the famous underwater explorer. His views on man's treatment of the ocean are well known. Dr. Tristan, you have expressed very strong views about the way man treats the ocean. Let us begin with this - What do you mean?
Tristan:	Simply that man still has the same approach to fishing as he had to hunting in early times. For example, man has indiscriminately slaughtered whales and certain other species. We need to ask ourselves, is man killing more fish than he needs?
Interviewer:	Surely you don't expect us to treat the sea as we treat the land?
Tristan:	I certainly do. We must use the sea, too, as farmers instead of hunters. We must plant the sea and herd its animals.
Interviewer:	Why is this so important? I'd always believed that the ocean had endless resources, that it held unlimited reserves of food which could last until the end of the world.
Tristan:	That is a false concept which unfortunately, many people share. The truth is that it is only in the upper zone that the seas are productive of life. This zone is very limited. We are rapidly digging into a food reserve that is limited and vulnerable, despite what most people think.
Interviewer:	But even in the upper zone there must still be several billions of fish in the open sea?
Tristan:	That's what you think. The fact is that the annual tonnage of fishing has decreased by a great deal in the past five years. However, I am not as concerned about fishing in the open seas as about fishing on the spawning grounds. Take, for example, salmon. We catch these when they gather for breeding. We do the same thing with tuna and mullets, catching them near the shore during mating season.
Interviewer:	I suppose we're in danger of seriously depleting our supply of food from the ocean?
Tristan:	The risk in our food supply is not the only problem. The depleting of our resources from the ocean is not merely a matter of fishing, you know. Don't forget oil pollution. Ships frequently spill oil along our coasts, wiping out millions of fish and destroying plant life.
Interviewer:	I am sure that there is a great deal more that you can say on this topic, and I hope we will be able to continue another time. Thank you very much for coming. Good-bye.

However, fishermen need to consider for the marine resourses which depends sole on each other for quality production.On the other hand, the Upper Zone does remarkable well. In fact, there have been a drastic decline in fish production in spawn ground compared to the open seas. In addition oil production is another major concern. The constant oil spills are very harmful to the marine resources.

Dr tristan's summary

Dr.Tristan's views on the way man treats the ocean is stunning because of the fact that man considers the ocean to have an unlimited supply of fishes which can now be proven wrong. Helpless fishes are caught during breeding seasons which reduces the population, hence, prevent further increase which is merely a matter of concern, the main concern is that million of fishes and plant life suffers from ships which often spills waste oil along the coasts.
