Summarize Written Text- PTE Academic

Concussions are brain injuries that occur when a person receives a blow to the head, face, or neck. Although most people who suffer a concussion experience initial bouts of dizziness, nausea, and drowsiness, these symptoms often disappear after a few days. The long-term effects of concussions, however, are less understood and far more severe. Recent studies suggest that people who suffer multiple concussions are at significant risk for developing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disorder that causes a variety of dangerous mental and emotional problems to arise weeks, months, or even years after the initial injury. These psychological problems can include depress ion, anxiety, memory loss, inability to concentrate, and aggression. In extreme cases, people suffering from CTE have even committed suicide or homicide. The majority of people who develop these issues are athletes who participate in popular high-impact sports, especially football. Although new sports regulations and improvements in helmet technology can help protect players, amateur leagues, the sports media, and fans all bear some of the responsibility for reducing the incidence of these devastating injuries.

  10. Hi There

    Is there a recommended length of these summaries and should it be strictly one sentence? Do you get penalized for repeating the words from the passage and lastly do you have to cover all the main points?

    1. Well I would recommend to keep roughly around 45-50 words. Main idea is to cover the major points in the passage. As far as the repeat sentences module is concerned- you have to speak exactky the same sentence. No exceptions for this.
