1. What is an entry abstract?

An abstract is also called an outline or a summary. The summary of an entry should be a high-level summary of the entry, without comments or supplementary explanations, and a concise and accurate description of the important content of the entry.

2. Elements of entry summary

A good entry summary should have certain elements. These elements should give a comprehensive and concise description of the entry, so that Once people read the abstract, they will have a general understanding of the content of the entry. Different types of entries contain different elements.

1. Summary of character entries

Character entries should generally include name, gender, date of birth and death, education level, occupation, achievements, honors, etc.

2. Animal entry abstract

The animal entry abstract should include the name, species, physical characteristics, living habits, feeding and breeding, place of origin, economic value, medicinal value, protection level, etc.

3. Plant entry abstract

The plant entry abstract should include the name, family and genus, classification, characteristics, adaptability to the environment, origin, various values, etc.

4. Summary of film and television entries

The summary of film and television entries includes name, classification, director, starring, production company, release time, content (describe the content in one sentence) )wait.

5. Book entry summary

The book entry summary should include the book title, author, publisher, publication time, content (describe the content in one sentence), etc.

(Of course, the content of some entries is not comprehensive, and the summary will definitely not be complete. We can write as much as we can, and try to include as many elements as possible in the content in the summary.)

3. How to write an entry summary

1. Write according to the content. The summary of the entry must be written based on the content, otherwise it will be a joke. I found that during the competition for words and gifts, the abstracts of some entries looked quite good, but when I checked the content of the entries, I found that the abstract and the content were written by different people, so although it didn’t look like they were boasting (the abstract and content were Same name, but not the same person), but the entry summary and content are contradictory.

2. Prepare according to the directory. The elements of the entry are actually the table of contents of the entry. Each table of contents introduces a certain aspect of the entry. You can summarize each table of entries into one sentence, and then string a few sentences together to create a very good word. There are summaries of each entry, and some entries can even be very trouble-free, because each directory itself has a summary. If you are lazy and want speed, you can copy and string the summary of each directory together and sort it out a little to get a summary of the entry.

3. Simplify content writing. The above two methods refer to the methods when the entry content is relatively comprehensive. Many entries have incomplete reference materials and we do not know some elements. But what should we do when the entry content itself is very small? One sentence cannot be cut. Make an abstract. Second, you cannot copy the entire paragraph to make an abstract. In such a situation, we can simplify the content in the entry and write down the main and important ones.
