Read the text again, divide it into logical parts, entitle them thus making a plan.

Write out of the text all sentences expressing the main idea(s) of each logical part, condense them in any possible way (or paraphrase for the sentences to be shorter) and write 1) a summary, and 2) an abstract to the text.

Make an oral summary of the text.

To take part in any scientific gathering it is necessary to present either a thesis of your report or the report itself. To do this you should know international requirements for written research paper. Study carefully the recommendations given in Appendix 3 and write your own report on one of the problems posed in the text you’ve just read.

    Sometimes you will need to write a letter to inquire about anything you need in your work as well as to reply to information inquiry. Iwo letters below will help you to write letters of these kinds:
    

Letter 1 (Information Inquiry)


Dear Dr. Reading,
I should be grateful if you would send me information about the regulations for admission to the University of Bradford Chemistry Centre. I would like to work for you making research in organic chemistry and teaching students. Could you inform of the arrangements I should make? Could you also tell me whether the Centre arranges accommodation for overseas academics?
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Igor Ivanov


Letter 2 (Reply to Information Inquiry)


Dear Dr. Ivanov,
Thank you for your letter inquiring about the possibility of doing research in the Department of Chemistry at our University.
I am most interested in your research and would be happy to help you in any way I can. I have spoken to my colleague, Professor David Miller who specializes in your field and is, therefore, very familiar with the sort of arrangements that can be made. We would suggest you to apply to the British Council in Moscow for financial support. However, in doing so you should send them a full resume, and, of course, a well-defined research proposal. It would also be probably worth writing to the FCO in London to ask whether any help might be available from the Know-How-Fund, which has been specifically set up to assist academics and practitioners in the countries such as your own.
In the meantime I would find it most helpful if you could send me a copy of your resume, so that if I am approached by the BC or the FCO, then I will be in a good position to support your application.
I hope it will be possible to arrange something and therefore hope you will keep in touch.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Edward Reading
