So make sure you practise listening a lot. It is also indispensable to record yourself summarizing passages, and listen back. You will find that you can yourself identify a number of faults. Then do the same exercise again, until the only mistakes you are making are ones that you really do not know of.
One other point, I suggested to one student, who was a native speaker of English, that it was not necessary for him to come to these classes. I now realize this is not true: the rules of the exercise take some time to learn even if you understand the entire passage at once.
