Certainly.

I'll explain each example in detail to illustrate how the paraphrasing techniques are
applied.
1. Changing vocabulary:
Original: The dog quickly ran across the street.
Paraphrased: The canine swiftly dashed across the road.
Explanation:
- "dog" is replaced with "canine" (a synonym)
- "quickly" is replaced with "swiftly" (a synonym)
- "ran" is replaced with "dashed" (a more specific verb)
- "street" is replaced with "road" (a synonym)
This example demonstrates how replacing words with synonyms can maintain the
original meaning while using different vocabulary.
2. Altering sentence structure:
Original: Despite the heavy rain, the football match continued.
Paraphrased: The football match went on, notwithstanding the torrential downpour.
Explanation:
- The sentence structure is inverted, with the main clause now coming first
- "Despite" is replaced with "notwithstanding" and moved to the end of the sentence
- "heavy rain" is changed to "torrential downpour" (also demonstrating vocabulary change)
- "continued" is replaced with "went on"
This example shows how changing the order of clauses and using different
transitional phrases can alter the sentence structure while preserving the meaning.
3. Changing word forms:
Original: The scientist made a significant discovery in the field of genetics.
Paraphrased: The scientific discovery significantly advanced genetic research.
Explanation:
- "scientist" (noun) is changed to "scientific" (adjective)
- "significant" (adjective) is changed to "significantly" (adverb)
- "discovery" is moved from the object of the sentence to the subject
- "made a discovery" is changed to "discovery advanced" (changing the verb and its relationship
to the subject)
- "field of genetics" is condensed to "genetic research"
This example demonstrates how changing parts of speech can reshape the sentence
while maintaining its core meaning.
4. Combining sentences:
Original: The company launched a new product. It was an instant success in the market.
Paraphrased: The company's newly launched product became an instant market success.
Explanation:
- Two separate sentences are combined into one
- "The company launched" is changed to "The company's newly launched" (using an adjective
phrase)
- "product" is now the subject of the combined sentence
- "was an instant success" is changed to "became an instant success" for better flow
- "in the market" is condensed to "market" and used as an adjective
This example shows how combining related sentences can create a more concise
statement that retains all the essential information.
These explanations demonstrate how each technique transforms the original text while
preserving its core meaning, which is the essence of effective paraphrasing.
ANOTHER EXAMPLES
Certainly! I'll provide new examples for each paraphrasing technique.
1. Changing vocabulary:

Paraphrased: The historic fortress towered impressively atop the elevation.
Explanation:
- "ancient" replaced with "historic"
- "castle" changed to "fortress"
- "stood majestically" replaced with "towered impressively"
- "on top of" changed to "atop"
- "hill" replaced with "elevation"

2. Altering sentence structure:

Original: Because of the heavy traffic, Sarah arrived late to the meeting.
Paraphrased: Sarah's late arrival at the meeting was due to the congested roads.
Explanation:
- Main clause and subordinate clause positions are swapped
- "Because of" is replaced with "was due to"
- "Sarah arrived late" is changed to "Sarah's late arrival"
- "heavy traffic" is rephrased as "congested roads"

3. Changing word forms:

Original: The musician's performance was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience.
Paraphrased: The audience enthusiastically applauded the musical performance.
Explanation:
- "musician's" (noun possessive) changed to "musical" (adjective)
- "enthusiastic" (adjective) changed to "enthusiastically" (adverb)
- "was met with applause" (passive voice) changed to "applauded" (active voice verb)
- "audience" moved from object to subject of the sentence

4. Combining sentences:
Original: The new policy was implemented last month. It has already shown positive results.
Paraphrased: The recently implemented policy has already demonstrated positive outcomes.
Explanation:
- Two sentences combined into one
- "new policy was implemented last month" condensed to "recently implemented policy"
- "has already shown" changed to "has already demonstrated" for better flow
- "results" replaced with "outcomes" (also demonstrating vocabulary change)

These new examples further illustrate how each paraphrasing technique can be applied to
transform text while maintaining its original meaning. Remember, in practice, these techniques
are often used in combination for the most effective paraphrasing.
Certainly! Here are two additional examples for each paraphrasing technique that can
be used for an activity:

Activity Suggestion:
For an engaging classroom activity, you could present these examples to students and ask them
to:
1. Identify which paraphrasing technique was primarily used in each example.
2. Explain how the paraphrasing maintains the original meaning.
3. Try to apply a different paraphrasing technique to the same original sentence.

This activity would help reinforce students' understanding of the various paraphrasing
techniques and provide practice in applying them.
