essential points so that anyone reading it will be able to understand the
idea expressed in the original passage. Note that precis writing is different
from paraphrasing.

 simply a summary of a passage.

 simply an abstract of a passage.
 an outline of a passage.
 a mere selection of a few important sentences from a passage.
 a collection of disconnected facts and statements

CO-EDUCATION
Co-education is a process of Knowledge it means boys and girls
communicate together if we learn more and more then we can be
communicate each other education is usefull for us without education
we can be many problems. Some people favor this system they say
that this system is very usefull . their main argument is that in poor and
backward country like Pakistan it is impossible to maintain separate
institutions. So co-education should be adopted and the existing
colleges and schools should also be opened to girls.

The supporters of co-education also say that this system would

provide an opportunity for the young men and women to come closer
and to understand each other. This would be very useful to them in
their future life. It would also be good for the progress of the
country. Another argument is that co-education would raise the
standard of education because it will promote competition among boys
and girls.

But all these arguments are not based on facts. All of our
institutions are overcrowded. The girl’s schools and colleges too are
overcrowded. Hundreds of new educational institutions are needed. If
some of these are reserved for girls, it would not cost more to the
government.
