Hello buddies! Today we are discussed about
paraphrasing. So, for your all information, paraphrase means expressing someone
else’s ideas using your own words. It’s a way of presenting a text using
different words and phrases without changing its original meaning. When
paraphrasing, you need to mention the author’s name so that your readers know
that you are actually discussing someone else’s ideas and not your own. This is
a must because it can help to prevent plagiarism.
When paraphrasing, you should:
· Retain
the original meaning of the text.
·
Change
the grammar and sentence structure.
·
Use
synonyms.
·
Cite
the original source.
Okey. Let me give you all an example!
At present, students are poor writers, because
they lack ideas and have poor writing skills.
Halim Mokhtar, Writing
Quandary (2008)
According to Halim,
students are not able to write well because they do not have the knowledge or a
good command of the language.
So guys, that’s how you paraphrase the
sentences oke. You must make sure that you are not copied the same sentences
from the sources. You must change it into your own words. Don’t forget yahh
dude! There has an equipment that can detect whether you are plagiarised or not. It has 3 colours for the equipment. Green, yellow and red colour. When it
turns red, you better careful! Because Mizz Zu had warned us that she will not
give us any marks if that thing happens. As what Miss Zu said, Uitm has to pay
almost thousand ringgit for that equipment in a year. How expensive right? Of
course it will be beneficial to the lecturers and being disadvantages to us right?
Haha. I’m just kidding. Just to warn you all to make your own words and do not take the others effort. Enjoy your writing beb!
