Ø It is generally accepted that a precis should be a third of the passage given. If the original passage has 300 words, the précis should not be more than 110 words in length.
Ø A precis should be in the language of the precis-writer. The original passage is not to be reduced in length by just removing unimportant or unnecessary sentences and by reproducing the rest as the precis. It should be a brief gist or summary of the passage expressed in the writer’s own words.
Ø A precis should be full i.e. it should contain all the essential thoughts, ideas or fact in the original passage. It should not contain repetitions or observations that are not relevant to the main theme of the original.
Ø A precis is always written in Reported Speech. The passage given may be a speech made by a person in Direct Speech, but the precis is to be in Reported Speech and in the Third Person and in the Past tense.
COMPREHENSION:
The comprehension is the simplest section. It is exactly like Reading comprehension in the objective paper. The following are the some of the tips for reading comprehension:

Ø An individual's ability to comprehend text is influenced by their traits and skills, one of which is the ability to make inferences.
Ø If word recognition is difficult, students use too much of their processing capacity to read individual words, which interferes with their ability to comprehend what is read. There are a number of approaches to improve reading comprehension, including improving one's vocabulary and reading strategies.
Ø You have to remembering word meanings, following the structure of a passage, finding answers to questions answered explicitly or in paraphrase, recognising a writers purpose, attitude, tone and mood, and drawing inferences from the context.
