#2: Initial revision
I imagine that there is a broader issue with the style of such summaries. I'd suggest reading abstracts from articles on the subject. The journal typically imposes a strict limit on the number of words. You may notice that the style is typically extremely terse, with very precise language and devoid of any unnecessary language. In your specific case, I give you some suggestions on how to change the sentence "in this chapter we present the methods to hammer a nail": - straight to the point: "hammering a nail can be achieved by..." - name the topic: "Hammering a nail. Various techniques include..." - justify the topic: "Wood structures can be held together by nails. Hammering is a widespread technique to place nails. This can be achieved by..." - the click bait lesson "The hammer trick. Place a nail on the board and hit it repeatedly."
