Paraphrasing and Sentence Structure Tips

1. The document discusses paraphrasing, which involves expressing the ideas of others in one's own words rather than directly quoting. 2. It notes that paraphrasing and summarizing are similar in that they both restate source material, but that paraphrasing aims to restate the information differently while maintaining the original meaning, rather than focusing on shortening the content like summarizing does. 3. Choppy and unstable sentences are defined as sentences that are too short, and it is advised to combine shorter sentences into longer, more complex sentences to improve formal academic writing.

Step 1
Paraphrasing is the process of expressing the thoughts and words of others in your own way. In other words, they use
their own words to think about others and use the process of describing and copying what others say instead of
repeating (quoting) or abstracting (abstract). Changing some basic words is not a paragraph to reconcile the sentence
structure or to replace some words with synonyms. In other words, it is important to clarify the concept borrowed in
the author's own words keeping in mind the purpose of the original text.
Step 2
The activities of paraphrasing and summarizing are quite similar and share many of the same processes. The difference
between the two is the goals they are pursuing. A summary's objective is to compress source material into a more
manageable format. Paraphrasing, on the other hand, isn't primarily concerned with length. Paraphrasing, on the other
hand, is largely concerned with the repetition of source information in a manner that differs from the original.
Step 3
Choppy Sentences are sentences that are too short. Short sentences can be effective in certain situations. However,
many short sentences in succession make it appear that a writer is incapable of sustaining a complex thought. Rather
than small, choppy sentences, construct ones that have some weight and depth. That doesn't always mean length, but
formal academic writing tends to avoid, for instance, more than three sentences in a row with fewer than ten words in
them. While an occasional short sentence is good because it delivers a strong ‘punch’, to have that punch the short
sentence must be set off by longer ones so its brevity stands out. Choppy sentences are easy to correct. Just combine
two or three short sentences to make one compound or complex sentence.
Step 4
An unstable sentence is too short a sentence. Short sentences are effective in some situations. However, when following
short sentences the writer seems unable to maintain complex ideas. He creates sentences with a certain weight and
depth, not short unrelated sentences. It is not necessarily long but tends to be formal academic writing. For example, it
is a good idea to use shorter sentences from time to time to avoid three or more consecutive sentences of less than 10
words but to use strokes to make them shorter. The sentence must be completed for a long time. What sets it apart is
its simplicity. You can easily correct broken sentences. Add two or three short sentences to form a mixed or complex
sentence.
