summarize written text是PTE写作部分的题型。而说到Summary, 有些同学觉得很容易，不就是归纳主旨么，从小就练呀。但是对于另一部分同学来说，中文考试中的中心都不一定归纳出来，英文就更难啦。今天T-Mate小编就给大家分享一下Titan老师关于summarize written text的题型解析和技巧总结，教大家怎样说“重点”。

SWT, 既然是summary, 就意味着要缩写，也就是要说重点。PTE设计的所有题型都是非常科学的，可以如实反映英语语言能力。别看这一道小小的题型，所要考察的能力却是多方面的，同时也有其应对的方法。 那么考试中所要考察的能力到底是什么呢？又该如何准备这类型的考题呢？

1. 先通读一遍文章。文章的长度大概有两三分钟就能读完，先了解文章主题内容是什么，然后，罗列出每一段的中心词，尤其是名词，这是SWT的基础。

注意每句话的逻辑关系，确定哪个中心词是整个段落的核心词。段与段的逻辑关系也要记下来，这对于后续整理答案十分的重要。

2. 接着通过找到的名词归纳出文章每段的中心句。如果所给的文章没有画出段落，就根据自己的理解给文章分段。如果段落比较多，也要根据自己的理解，把文章并列的段落划归到一起，归纳出一句话。

3. 有了最简单的中心句之后，接下来需要做的就是把这些关键句按照逻辑关系进行整理。

整理关键句在这里要重点说明一下

大家是否对SWT有了一个大致的思路呢？下面分享一道PTE的考试真题，大家来检测下吧~

Public figures include politicians and other public officials such as judges and civil servants as well as celebrities such as film stars, musicians and sports stars. The very nature of these roles opens these people to scrutiny by the press. The extent to which the media are legally free to investigate and publish details of public figures’ private lives varies from country to country. Countries like France are much stricter on protecting personal privacy than, for example, Britain.

People have a right to know about those in power. Whether through taxes, in the case of politicians and civil servants, or by revenue generated by films, music, TV, sporting appearances or concerts in the case of celebrities—these people’s income is dependant on the general public.

People have the right to make informed judgements about the kind of leaders they have. Attempts to restrict what may be reported about public figures in the press could easily become a conspiracy to keep voters in the dark and to manipulate them. All elections are to a greater or lesser extent about the character of the leading politicians involved. Unless the voters are allowed insights into their private lives they will lack the information needed to make a fair decision at the polling booth. For example, some people believe that a politician who betrayed his wife in an affair was equally capable of breaking his promises and lying to his country.

Exposing corruption and dishonesty on the part of public officials and businesses is a critical part of the function of a free press, and it is essential to the functioning of a free-market economy. If investigative journalists are prevented from scrutinising the private lives of public figures, then corruption and crime will be much easier to hide.

Public figures know that with fame comes a price and that price is constant scrutiny. In fact, many celebrities actively seek media exposure in order to advance their careers, revealing to the media many aspects of their personal lives. Once success has been bought in such a fashion it is then somewhat hypocritical to complain of “press intrusion” into those few aspects the star would prefer to remain hidden.

T-mate答案：

Media scrutiny of public figures should be supported because these public figures depend on the general public for income , and there are often pressing public policy concerns.
