To
summarize
a
text,
look
for
the
main
idea
and
supporting
details.
Then
write
the
main
idea
in
your
own
words.
You
are
not
copying
the
text;
you
are
summing
it
up.
Include
only
the
most
essential
details.
If
a
text
has
three
paragraphs,
the
longest
your
summary
should
be
is
four
sentences.
That’s
one
sentence
for
each
paragraph
plus
one
to
state
the
main
idea.
A
summary
should
be
much
shorter
than
the
text
being
summarized.
For
example,
this
text
is
171
words,
while
its
summary
is
just
52
words.
Some
animals
live
in
a
symbiotic
relationship.
It
is
a
partnership
in
which
both
animals
benefit.
They
are
different
species,
yet
they
rely
on
each
other.
Some
birds
live
this
kind
of
lifestyle.
Tiny
Darwin
ground
finches
help
giant
Galapagos
tortoises
by
eating
the
ticks
that
are
on
the
tortoises’
skin.
This
saves
the
tortoises
from
tick
bites
and
gives
the
finches
food.
The
petrel
is
bird
that
shares
its
nest
with
a
tuatara,
a
lizard
that
hunts
at
night.
The
lizard
eats
the
bugs
that
would
bite
the
baby
petrels.
The
tuatara
will
eat
other
birds’
eggs
and
babies,
but
it
will
not
hurt
the
ones
in
the
nest
it
shares
with
the
petrel.
Red-billed
oxpeckers
help
out
impalas.
Impalas
are
antelopes
that
live
on
the
African
plains.
The
birds
eat
the
ticks
and
fleas
that
infest
the
impalas.
These
parasites
drink
the
impala's
blood.
The
red-billed
oxpeckers
enjoy
the
food,
and
the
impalas
enjoy
being
pest-free.

Summary:
Could
a
Tree
Grow
on
the
Moon?
Since
the
moon
has
no
atmosphere
or
weather,
it
is
a
barren
place.
Nothing
lives
there
because
it
is
cold
and
lacks
water.
Yet
when
the
astronauts
landed
there
in
1969
during
the
Apollo
11
Mission,
they
planned
to
plant
an
oak
tree.
Would
it
have
grown?
We
will
never
know.
They
ran
out
of
time
to
plant
it.
Their
plan
was
this:
Dig
a
hole,
put
an
acorn
in
it,
water
it,
and
place
a
small
greenhouse
over
it.
A
greenhouse
is
a
structure
made
of
glass
panels.
The
astronauts
planned
fill
the
greenhouse
with
carbon
dioxide
gas,
which
is
what
a
tree
needs
in
order
to
live.
The
acorn
would
have
had
moon
soil
and
plenty
of
sunlight.
If
a
sapling
sprouted,
it
would
have
been
enclosed
by
the
greenhouse,
which
would
trap
the
moisture
and
sun’s
warmth.
The
greenhouse
would
have
kept
the
tiny
tree
warm,
and
the
water
would
not
have
escaped.
It
would’ve
worked
the
same
way
as
a
terrarium.
Trees
make
and
use
carbon
dioxide,
so
it
might
have
been
able
to
survive
for
years.
However,
one
day
the
tree
would
have
grown
so
tall
that
it
burst
through
the
greenhouse
roof.
Once
the
glass
broke,
the
water
and
carbon
dioxide
would
have
escaped
and
doomed
the
tree.
It
All
Stacks
Up
