The evolution of the RAS (Royal Agricultural Society) fits into the wider Western trend of promoting nationalism, progress, and technology through exhibitory venues, which first became popular in the 1850s. Various types of fairs, from local agricultural shows to Worlds Fairs, were used as instruments of hegemony to support imperialism, promote burgeoning capitalist endeavors, and shape class identities, social spaces, and public spaces. Visual culture and the art of display became essential in defining aspects of national distinction. Colonial nations in particular, such as Canada and Australia, we're attempting to develop distinct national identities to differentiate themselves from British imperial power. Agricultural fairs in North America originated at the beginning of the nineteenth century and were devoted to educating practicing framers in ways of improving their cultivation of livestock and crops through the use of various technologies. In 1822, the RAS was created on the premise that was a dire need in Australia for the development of improved farming skills to better support growing urban populations and export markets. Organizations based on agricultural improvement, which were popular in Britain, provided camaraderie as well as political and financial support for their members. Once transferred to the colonies, in this case, Australia, they played an integral part in converting and organizing land for colonial purposes.

When practicing PTE Summarize Written Text, read the entire passage thoroughly to understand its main idea. Identify the purpose of the passage and the key points that support it. Pay special attention to the introduction and concluding sentences, as they often contain essential information.
Highlight the most important ideas, such as the main argument, supporting evidence, and any contrasts or conclusions. Avoid including unnecessary examples, extra details, or personal opinions unless they are central to the passage’s meaning.
Write a concise and clear summary that captures the core message of the passage. Use connectors like “and,” “which,” “while,” “because,” and “although” to link ideas logically and smoothly.
Ensure your summary follows proper grammar rules and punctuation. Avoid sentence fragments or run-on sentences. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement, correct comma usage, and capitalization. Even if your content is accurate, grammatical errors can lower your score.
Paraphrase rather than copy large portions of the passage. While it’s fine to use some keywords, expressing ideas in your own words demonstrates better comprehension and makes your summary sound more natural.
