How to Render an Article
A rendering is a text based on the notional compression of the original with the aim of rendering its general matter. The material in a rendering is presented from the point of view of the author of the original and does not include any elements of interpretation or evaluation.
A rendering is usually kept to the following structure:
1. Introduction, where you provide all necessary background information such as the title and source of the passage and state the main idea.
2. The body, where the main idea is revealed.
3. The conclusion on the passage.
4. Your opinion of the problem (position) introduced in the passage.
There are several basic principles you are to follow in order to make a successful rendering:
· You have to develop your power of judgment, so that you may be able to decide rightly what must be expressed and what must be suppressed.
· In rendering, facts should be expressed as plain statements, with constant reference to the author of the passage.
· Try to avoid evaluative words and phrases in the body of the rendering, keep them for expressing your own opinion.
