Precis Writing Examples for SBI Bank PO Exams

Friends, before going to read examples we request you to read the basics of Precis Writing here. All the best.

Precis Writing Example :

Trees give shade for the benefit of others, and while they themselves stand in the sun and endure the scorching heat, they produce the fruit of which others profit. The character of good men is like that of trees. What is the use of this perishable body if no use is made of it for the benefit of mankind ? Sandalwood, the more it is rubbed, the more scent does it yield. Sugarcane, the more it is peeled and cut up into pieces, the more juice does it produce. The men who are noble at heart do not lose their qualities even in losing their lives. What matters whether men praise them or not? What difference does it make whether they die at this moment or whether lives are prolonged? Happen what may, those who is unprofitable to a man who does not live for others. To live for the mere sake of living one's life is to live the life or dog and crows. Those who lay down their lives for the sake of others will assuredly dwell forever in a world of bliss.

Now they will ask you to make a precis out of the above paragraph and put a suitable title for it. Make it the habit of reading twice before going to write precis. First read little slowly because you are new to this para. Later read lil faster and try to pick important points mentioned in the paragraph. 

What will be the suitable title for our precis ?

Life of trees? Smell of Sandal wood? Death of good men? or Juice of Sugar Cane? See, don't confuse with the lines. Try to pick the soul of the paragraph. About what they are talking of. Now just think of a suitable name for the above para .



And now you should write precis... Remember all the points we've discussed in our earlier precis writing tips. Just pick important points from the given para and write them on your own. All the best.

Precis : The character of good men is like that of trees. They live for others and do not lose their qualities even in losing their lives. They always follow the right path. Praise is immaterial to them. To live for one's own sake is to lead the life of beasts. Only those who lay down their lives for others will live forever in a world of bliss.
