Text in English with Spanish Questions
- The task involves summarizing lengthy (over 900 words) English texts and creating corresponding Spanish questions. Summary and question quality depend on the English text's content.
Content Summary Steps
- Understanding the Text: Thoroughly read the entire English text to comprehend main points, arguments, and supporting details.
- Identifying Key Concepts: Highlight central ideas and use topic sentences within the text.
- Summarizing Information: Concisely condense the text, focusing on essential ideas and avoiding repetition.
- Creating Relevant Questions: Formulate relevant Spanish questions to test understanding of key concepts, arguments, and specifics. Question detail should match the text's depth.
Example of a Potential Strategy
