To be an effective writer, one must develop and cultivate the power of concentration, dissemination and correct expression. A lot of mental exercise should be carried out to accomplish this skill and Precis Writing is one such mental exercise. A precis should be concise, clear, accurate and compact. The figurative elements in the original passage like simile, metaphors, explanations and elaborations have no place, in a precis. It is written in such a manner that the main points in the passage can be easily grasped. A precis is an abstract of a long passage. It gives the salient feeatures of a passage in a short span.
