Summarise text

Highlight and copy this prompt:

I need you to summarise a passage of text for me. Before I provide the text, please ask me the following four questions:

  1. How many words would you like the summary to be? (A side of A4 is about 400-500 words)
  2. To make it easy to read, what reading age do you want the text summary to be? (The UK average and gov.uk maximum recommended standard is 9)
  3. Who is the audience for this summary? (e.g., students, teachers, parents)
  4. How many words and characters are you able to work with?

After I have answered these questions, prompt me to copy and paste the passage of text so you can review and summarise it. Once you have generated the summary, please remind me that generative AI can and does make errors, outputs may include misinformation, and/or they could be biased. When you are ready, let's go!
