Hello!
How are you? How was your Golden Week?
Today I have two things to cover - first, a review of the 4/26 lesson board notes before Golden Week, then some new notes for you today about summaries.
4/26 lesson notes review
To begin with, look at the board notes at the top. They were about our discussion circle steps which we tried out in the 4/26 class about ferrous and non-ferrous metals. I thought you did a good job on these! Now here are the lesson notes:
Method (方法):
例えば：There have been many great partnerships, as well as rivalries, in the history of science and technology. Perhaps no rivalry was greater than that between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla.
Next, show a connection between the background and what you will present or write about:
There have been many great partnerships, as well as rivalries, in the history of science and technology. Perhaps no rivalry was greater than that between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. While both figures are crucial in the development of the practical application of electricity to everyday life…
Then, come in with what you will directly present or write about:
There have been many great partnerships, as well as rivalries, in the history of science and technology. Perhaps no rivalry was greater than that between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. While both figures are crucial in the development of the practical application of electricity to everyday life, this presentation/report will show that Edison may have been the greater figure given the numerous applications of electricity he made possible through his inventions.
Result
This summary is only 71 words in total, but it shows completely the background to the topic, and the presenter's or writer's purpose with the topic.
This is what you should try for in the final versions of your summary writing.
See you next week!

About summaries
Now let's look at writing summaries (要約).
What is a summary? It's a short version of the content of a presentation or research paper. You can think of it as a statement of purpose (SOP) about a presentation or writing topic. It should be a compacted version of every aspect of your topic.

Method (方法):
Let's imagine that you are writing about famous scientists - in the example below, a comparison and contrast (比較対照) of the rivalry, and work, about Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla.
So first, show some background to the topic:
