3. Read the following summary of the text.

In this text, the author explains how great of an author Joanne Rowling is. I’ve always loved the Harry Potter books and movies. I didn’t know that J.K. Rowling had so much trouble getting them published. I’m glad that even though she became rich, she has donated a lot of her money to charity. I think that in the future, she’ll continue to write successful books and donate money.

Explain why this is NOT a good summary.
