Strategies for Appropriating Somebody’s Text in Your Article
In article writing you often need to refer to somebody’s ideas. To do this efficiently you need to master the strategies of summarizing, paraphrasing, and quoting. Paraphrasing is one of the essential skills, which is an alternative to quoting; it helps you use your own words to formulate someone else’s idea. Paraphrasing lets you show the reader that you have processed and understood the source you are using through its explanation and interpretation. Paraphrasing is also an effective tool used to restate, clarify, or condense your idea. At the seminar, we will compare paraphrasing with quoting and summarizing. We will practice these strategies and come up with successful paraphrasing techniques: the effective use of synonyms, different parts of speech, and a variety of sentence structures.
