Paraphrasing

Hello everyone...
Do you know what is paraphrasing?
Okay let me explain into simpler sentence. Paraphrase is to include the ideas or information from an original author into your paper but by using your own words. The key to successful paraphrase words as possible from the original text-be remind not to change the meaning that you paraphrase and to cite your paraphrase. This is because, unproper citation, your paraphrase are actually plagiarism

Here are 3 tips for a good paraphrase:

1) Your paraphrase must have the same meaning as original. Which means include all important ideas, do not add any new ideas and do not alter the tone and original intention.

 2) You should use your own  words. This means try to change the vocabulary as much as possible. Morever change the sentence structure as much as possible. Next, do not copy more than 5 words in a row.

3) You must cite the original source, for example telling readers where you got the information.
