Question 1.
A summary is a short or brief way of representing the contents of the original text. Thus,
only the main important ideas of the original text will find space in the summary. We do
summaries so that, in future, we can be able to get what the original text is about
without wasting time and going back to the original document. The ideas of the original
, writer are reflected. Kok et al(2021:11) State that normally quotations from the original
text, repetitions, examples and illustrations are avoided. Summaries are usually about
one tenth the size of the original text. However, one may include examples if the
material they are dealing with is so complex that the examples will make it easier to
understand. Kok A Nienaber A and Viljoen F (2021:9) suggests that when summarizing
one must take the following into account.:
1. The student must ensure that you have a full and proper understanding of the
entire text.
2. One must consult the table of contents. Identify a structure or pattern.
3. The student must read the entire chapter before they start their summary.
4. One must identify keywords and important concepts which are often repeated
5. The student must ensure that they understand the above-mentioned concepts.
6. One must identify general rules, principles and exceptions.
7. The student must use language that is easy to understand.
Question 2.
Acording to Kok et al (2021:15), when answering a problem type question a student is
required to read a set of facts, analyze them and answer certain questions relating to
these facts. They must be able to apply the law to the facts and propose an answer.
Problem type questions are different from essay questions. Problem questions are
designed to test ones understanding of the legal principles and their ability to apply the
principles to various fact situations. It is therefore important to produce a coherent,
structured answer that responds to the various legal issues embedded in the
hypothetical fact situation you are addressing. Problem questions are designed or
crafted around a particular area of the law and specific legal issues. One has to identify
those legal issues and address them as clearly as you can. Relevance is critical in
answering problem questions in law, so your aim must be to identify the legal issues
that are raised by the fact situation and apply the relevant legal principles to their
solution. It is important to avoid introductions that are so general that they could have
been written in answer to ANY problem question on Contract law. Such introductions do
