Do the following Comparison Exercise:

Look at the following three paraphrases and compare them with

the original text. Do they express the same meanings and have
the writers used their own words? Which is the best one?

ORIGINAL TEXT

Pop culture and fashion have been influenced for many years by Eastern
culture. In part, this is due to the flourishing textile industry in countries
such as China, Pakistan and India.

Additionally, fashion has been inspired by colours and patterns that are
prevalent in the East, with many Western designers including them in their
ranges, [taken from a book by Wood, published in 2011]

PARAPHRASE 1

China, Pakistan and India have had a great influence on the West. One
example is their textile industry, which is growing and therefore influencing
fashion and popular culture. Western designers are also using colours and
patterns that influence the East (Wood, 2011).

PARAPHRASE 2

Western fashion is familiar with Eastern culture, for example, typical

Eastern colours and patterns have often been used in fashion designs. One
reason for this is the success o f the Eastern textile industry (Wood, 2011).

PARAPHRASE 3

Clothing trends and popular culture have been affected for a long time by
the culture from the East. The Chinese, Pakistani and Indian clothing
industries are thriving, ivhich can partly explain this influence. Moreover,
stylists from the West have added Eastern colours and designs to their
collections, which shows how the fashion industry has been influenced
(Wood, 2011).
