I believe that summarizing is a very useful skill in my studies because it allows me to quickly obtain information. For example, after the classes, I can write down the knowledge points I might easily forget in a notebook, making the information concise and clear, which saves me time. Additionally, summarizing helps me to better understand and retain the material. So I think summarizing is a good habit for me.
