That is the Power of Paraphrasing.
It teaches us to add our original thoughts to a older one. It helps us to adopt the saying of another as our own because we use our own words. As the wise philosopher Solomon said, "There is nothing new under the sun", but there are new people. You are different and your mind is not exactly like anyone else's mind. The best way to understand anything is to simply be able to put it into your own words. Learn to paraphrase things you want to understand and you will learn to truly grasp the concept of anything you wish to learn.
Don't just repeat things, put paraphrase them to understand them more!
I really like this blog, I tend to paraphrase a lot, it's my way of showing my understanding of whatever I'm reading or researching. It also helps minimizes the risk of plagiarism.
ReplyDeleteParaphrasing is really important, especially to any high school student. I paraphrase a lot throughout my day as a student which comes in handy. When you paraphrase you are not at risk for being accused of plagurism which is very good.
