• Paraphrasing means expressing someone elses
  ideas and thoughts with your own wording. When
  you paraphrase, the meaning of the original
  source must be saved but presented in a new form.
  If your wording is too close to original, your
  writing can be considered as plagiarism.

Paraphrasing Tips and Tricks

• Before you start paraphrasing, read the original
  source a few times and look for any words or
  phrases you dont fully recognize. You must
  clearly understand the whole meaning and authors
  intention to rewrite my sentence successfully.

4

• Then, close the source. Write down authors
  thoughts in your own words and compare them with
  the original. Does your writing have its own
  writing style or is it too similar to the
  original? Have you accurately presented ideas in
  a unique way? Have you reproduced authors
  thoughts or only change words in his/her
  sentences?

5

• The comparison is very useful you might
  unintentionally use exact words or phrases from
  the source. You know what to do next word
  rephrase.

6

• If you take some terms or complex phrases
  verbatim from the original source, make sure you
  put them in quotation marks so the reader can see
  these words are borrowed from the source.

7

• Cite the source authors name, the year of
  publication and its page number must follow your
  paraphrase. Putting it in a reference list is a
  must! Use paraphrase tool online to make your
  life easier!

8

• If the source is too long, its very helpful to
  take notes and outline an origin first and then
  reword by yourself or online paraphrase. Dont
  look at the source!

9

• Remember change the original words but not the
  meaning. Also, leave the writing tone the same
  but try to sound like you. Check paraphrase
  website which can help you out.

10

• You cant add any information. You have to stick
  to the source and paraphrase ALL essential
  authors ideas. Dont leave anything out, except
  for unnecessary info.

11

• A great dictionary will help you to find good
  synonyms and make your writing sound attractive
  and rich. Also, paraphrase software can do
  rewriting for you on the top level of quality.

12

• Do some changings
• rephrase positive sentences into negative ones
• change from direct speech to indirect
• from Active Voice to Passive
• change an order of authors ideas
• change word structure.

13

• Also, you can change word class write adverbs
  instead of adjectives, use nouns to substitute
  verbs (or vice versa), etc.

14

• Break long statements into smaller ones.
• Make some abstract thought more specific.
• Proper names, scientific terms as well as
  theories and concept words cant be changed.

15

• If you cant find a synonym to replace the
  original word, write its short definition.
  Another option look at the dictionary or try
  online paraphrasing.

16

• Also, you can replace a specific word with more
  general one. For instance, you have to rephrase
  the word a grapefruit or an orange. If the sort
  of fruits actually doesnt matter and wont
  affect the ideas meaning, change to a general
  word.

17

• Its OK if the length of your piece of writing is
  not the same as an origin. Usually, paraphrased
  content is shorter than the initial one. But make
  sure that the main idea of the passage is
  represented correctly.

18

• The writing must be to the point. There is no
  place for your own viewpoints and opinions. If
  you have to rewrite my essay, its better to make
  your writing more personalized. But when
  paraphrasing, the source is used to maintain your
  argument, not to express your thoughts.

19

• Revise your piece of writing in order to find any
  resemblance. If you catch too close wording,
  rewrite it once again. If its impossible to
  change words completely, put them in quotation
  marks.
