What is Paraphrasing?

Paraphrasing means re-writing a phrase or sentence so that it has the same meaning while using different words. There are many types of paraphrases, but the one we are interested in is to use synonyms, especially for key words.

Example:

Original sentence: The school said that their classrooms seat 30 students each.
Paraphrased sentence: The school stated that their classrooms accommodate 30 pupils apiece.

The most common technique is to use synonyms, as you can see in the example.

You can apply this strategy:

a) Identify and understand the meaning of the words used, especially the key words, which are those that are essential in the sentence.

b) Find out some suitable synonyms; i.e., synonyms that do not change the sentence's idea into a different one.

Activity

Rewrite the sentence and substitute the words underlined with their synonyms.
