how to paraphrase correctly??


Hello :)
First of all..do you know what is paraphrasing? yes yes yes.. paraphrasing means that taking another person's idea and restating using your own words. The words paraphrase actually come from the word par (equal) /a / phrase /, which means a sentences equal to the original but written in other version.( format and words). Student like me usually have a lots of challenge to paraphrase correctly..hehe.

there are 3 condition for a good paraphrase:

  1. Your paraphrase must have same meaning as original. 
  2. You should use your own words.
  3. You should cite the original source. 
  • REMEMBER THAT : 
                                            ~ please include all important points / ideas.
                                            ~ don't add any new ideas (own ideas)
                                            ~don't alter the original meaning.
                                            ~change the vocabulary and sentences as much as you can.
