Paraphrasing and Giving

Suggestion
What is Paraphrasing ?
Paraphrasing is a linguistic term which
means the disclosure of more than one concept
in another way in the same language, but
without changing its meaning. Paraphrasing
provides an opportunity to sing the author to
give an exaggeration to the original author.
Paraphrasing is common when writing a research paper. It allows you to
explain important ideas in your own writing style and focus in on the
information that is most useful in making your point. Even when you put
someone else's ideas into your own words, you must cite the source of your
information. This gives credit to the original author for their ideas.
Exampel :
1. Original : Giraffes like Acacia leaves and hay. And they can
consume 75 pounds of food a day.
Paraphrase : A giraffe can eat up to 75 pounds of Acacia leaves
and hay daily.
2. Original : Symtoms of influenza include fever and nasal
congestion.
Paraphrase : A stuffy nose and elvated temperature are signs you
may.
