HEDGING
We use hedges to soften what we say or write. Hedges are an important part of polite conversation. They make what we say less direct. The most common forms of hedging involve tense and aspect, modal expressions including modal verbs and adverbs, vague language such as sort of and kind of, and some verbs.

What is the purpose of the quotation?
Quoted Speech
It’s natural to fear spiders. They have lots of legs and almost all are venomous – though the majority of species have venom too weak to cause issues in humans, if their fangs can pierce our skin at all. Even entomologists themselves can fall prey to arachnophobia, as stated by Dr. Fiona Cross when she said "I know a few spider researchers who overcame their fear by observing and working with these fascinating creatures. If they can do it, so can you!"

PREPARE TO WRITE
Writing a summary is a great way to process the information you read, whether it’s an article or a book. If you’re assigned a summary in school, the best way to approach it is by reviewing the piece you’re summarizing. Skim it first, then read it thoroughly in preparation for taking notes. When you get to writing your summary, rely on your memory first to make sure the summary is in your own words. Then revise it to ensure that your writing is clear and the grammar, punctuation, and spelling are all perfect.
