遇到SWT就头疼？看到没见过的题就心慌？
听Sherry老师给大家讲讲如何攻破这一难关！
SWT原文如下：
Slightly less than one in five carers (19%) were primary carers (475,000 people). That is, they were the main carer of a person who was limited in carrying out the core everyday activities of mobility, communication or self-care. Both primary carers and the larger group of other carers (close to 2 million) contribute to the wellbeing of older people and people with disabilities. However, because they care for people who otherwise would have difficulty carrying out basic everyday activities, there is particular interest in primary carers: in the contribution they make, their wellbeing, labour force experiences, motivations and the support they receive in caring.
Primary carers were more likely than other carers to be assisting someone who lived in the same household (81% compared with 76%). As with caring as a whole, the likelihood of being a primary carer increased with age to peak at age 55-64 years, where one in twenty people were primary carers. However, rather than then declining, the likelihood of being a primary carer remained at around this level among the older age groups. Consequently, primary carers had a somewhat older age profile than other carers. The median age of primary carers was 52 years, compared with 47 years for other carers.
Primary carers were more likely than other carers to be female (71% compared with 50%) and less likely to be in the labour force (39% compared with 60%). Women not in the labour force were by far the largest single group among primary carers (44%). In contrast, men employed full-time were the largest single group among other carers (25%). Consistent with their lower labour force participation, primary carers had lower personal incomes than other carers (a median gross income of $237 per week compared with $327 per week) and were more likely to have a government pension or allowance as their main source of income (55% compared with 35%).
首先我们按照以往做swt的方式，忘记那些有机经可以参考的时代，回到最原始的套路，开始通读全文
文章已经贴心地为我们分好了三段，所以最简单的方式不要忘记，就是简单粗暴的将三段文字的大意概括之后，再想方设法找出其中的逻辑。
通读全文时同样不要忘记将你认为有用的关键词记录下来，以方便于我们直接用提取出来的这些精粹信息来完成我们后面要写的summary。这种做法既能够节省掉我们再回文章找idea的时间，又能够帮我们很好地提炼出重点。
接下来让我们一段一段地来分析这道题：
文章的第一段：
我们目前得到的有用的信息如下：
primary carers的比例，primary carers的定义，primary carers的日常工作，以及由于他们的工作所决定的大众对于他们的看法。
文章的第二段：
主要介绍了一下与其他的carers相比，primary carers和他们的一些不同之处，以及primary carers的年龄分布。更具体来说，primary carers的照顾对象一般都与他们生活在同一屋檐下。并且在年龄分布方面来说，随着年龄的增长，越来越多的人更有可能成为primary carers。
文章的最后一段：
延续了第二段的基调，继续将primary carers与其他的护工进行对比。而进行比较之后我们发现，有更多的女性倾向于选择去做primary carers，而大部分primary carers都不属于劳动力的范畴之内。同时，primary carers的收入都相对来说较低，并且他们的收入来源大部分来源于政府的补助。
此处想要考79分的同学请瞩目。
在文章第三段中出现的几个观点，虽然看上去独立而零散，但实际上内含玄机。
找逻辑，是我们在写summary时需要重点关注的对象，也是我们能够让自己的答案变得更加与文章和评分标准relevant的最好的机会。
前文说到primary carers不在劳动力范畴之内，也正因为他们不属于劳动力的范畴之内，这个因素直接导致了他们的收入会比其他的护工要低，因为他们没有一份能够提供主要来源的收入。而人想要生存就必须要有收入来源，但是又基于他们并没有稳定工作的前提下，他们只能靠政府的补助来进行生存，并将其作为主要的收入来源。
现在我们已经读完了文章，并且总结出来了每段文章的要点，可以发现作者写文章的本意是想要将primary carers与其他种类的护工进行比较。
但也许由于截取篇幅的缘故，并没有在其他种类的护工上面花费太多的笔墨。因此我们为了让自己的summary变得与文章主旨更加的有关联，我们已经可以确定将summary的主题，甚至是答案的主语定为primary carers。
最后一步需要做的，则是从上面的信息点中，总结出最相关联的信息，形成主要信息点并且能够清晰地表达自己的逻辑。
在这一步时，希望大家不要忘记，summary是一个总结性的文字，那么自然用于解释说明这种太过于详细的部分，是不应该出现在我们的答案里的。
因此在经过筛选后，我确定了我的答案中应该包括的点为：primary carers的主要职责，显著特点，即为他们与其他护工的不同之处，以及大众对他们的看法。
下面附上参考答案：
Taking care of the wellbeing of the elder and disabled particularly under the same household, most primary carers tend to be females in older age groups who are not in the labor force, hence have lower incomes which in turn are more likely to receive a government pension or allowance; moreover, due to the nature of the occupation, primary carers have witnessed particular interest. （64）
听完Sherry老师讲解，你是否对SWT这种题型有了新的见解呢？下次做题时分段理清逻辑，Summary写起来就会轻松许多啦！
