以54课为例，由于全文即为一整段，为了更好地把握文章大意，需要我们在跟读第一阶段(前3遍)跟读中，在纠正语音语调的同时，对整段内容进行分层。显然，本篇记叙文体以三个时间状语After breakfast, In a short while 和at last贯穿行文，可分为三层，分别描述了事情的起因、发展和结果，逻辑清晰。
As soon as the writer returned home from the shops she began to make some meat pies. When the telephone rang soon afterwards, her fingers were very sticky. She spent ten minutes talking to Helen Bates on the telephone. After that she looked at the mess she had made. Her fingers, the telephone and the doorknobs were covered with pastry. Just then the postman rang the doorbell. He wanted her to sign for a registered letter.
在该例文中，我们既可以看到对原文关键词句的把握：sticky fingers, be covered with pastry, sign for a registered letter ,etc; 同时也能很清晰地看出对作者行文逻辑的理解：as soon as, soon afterwards, spend doing sth., after that, just then. 可见，写摘要写作的过程，其实就是在理解的基础上背诵课文在写作的体现。
