1 A friend is having problems writing a plot summary for a book report.

1 一个朋友在写一篇读书笔记的提纲时有一些困难。

Examiners don't want to read a plot summary-- they know what the book is about.

考官不想阅读情节摘要——他们知道这本书讲的是什么。

So it's helpful, especially as a parent, to watch the movie beforehand maybe or read a plot summary and say, " Well, what's happening here" ?

这很有用，尤其对父母而言，提前看一部电影或者看看剧情梗概，然后（引导孩子）说：" 这儿发生了什么？"
