Dear Students, In our Previous article on descriptive paper for SSC CGL 2016, we have elaborated on the topic of precis writing. Today we're providing to you a passage for practice. First go through our post on the approach and tricks on Precis writing. Then Solve this passage. Some tips before you attempt it: Read the passage 2 or 3 times for beginners, then write 2 to 3 drafts unless you feel it is right, then Read your final draft.
Important Tip: A Precis should be written in Indirect speech, after a "verb of saying" in the past tense.
We will post enough questions on precis so that you can practice and be prepared for the exam on 19th March, 2017.
Direction: Write a precis for the following passage.
One great defect of our civilization is that it does not know what to do with its knowledge. Science, as we have seen, has given us powers fit for the gods, yet we use them like small children.
