All communication is about paraphrasing. We learn and we repeat what we learn as we express the concepts. If we can exercise our brains by using the process you teach in this video, we can all be better communicators and strengthen our mind power.
Hi Martin, you are correct that all communication we do with paraphrasing in someway or another. When we hear what someone says and repeat it back to someone else, we are paraphrasing.
Great job! Nicely done! Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!

Same
You are a wonderful presenter, as you are very pleasant and well-spoken. I'm going to use the first part of the video as a resource for my students, thank you. I am a little concerned that the content after the 6-minute mark ("Toolkit") is a little too close to plagiarism to teach my students.
Thank you for your input. Because this video is designed for English learners, I go through each one of the tools separately but conclude with reminders that using only one tool is not enough. In order to paraphrase, the sentence needs to be in one's own words, which can be achieved by using a combination of tools (and adding a citation, which I cover in this video ruclips.net/video/P_8x9Ot7E1Y/видео.html). I will take another look and change the description in the video to make it clear. Thanks again :)
Thank you, teacher.
You are very welcome! :)
thank you for your advice it will help me expand my assignment better
You are very welcome! Good luck! 👍

Interesting and informative, I am edified.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for giving me a lesson for paraphrasing. I really thank you for your hard work. Below is my answer to your PRACTICE. I would really appreciate it if you could be kind enough to give me some comments.
1. Today, most smokers live in poor nations, while they did in rich nations previously.
2. Students' command of paraphrasing depends on their grammar and vocabulary.
3. The first child likely leads more autonomous and prosperous life.
4. Facing COVID-19, many obese people with diabetes and/or heart problems have had more troubles in U.S.
I'm so glad that you found it helpful. Your answers are excellent!!! I would change a couple of small things in #3:
You wrote "The first child likely leads more autonomous and prosperous life." Add "a" to say "a more autonomous and prosperous life." It might be more clear also to say "The first child is more likely to lead...," like this:
The first child is more likely to lead a more autonomous and prosperous life.

thx sooo much
You're welcome! :)
Thank you for this video! By the way, here are my answers:
1. In contrary to the past, most smokers live in developing countries as the world continue to evolve.
2. Paraphrasing will be more easy for students as they develop skills in grammar and vocabulary.
3. Independent and successful people are more likely to be the children who are first born in the family.
4. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, people who live in the United States who suffer from diabetes, heart disease and obesity have become more threatening.
Looking forward to your feedback! Have a nice day.
Good job! Note that we use “easier” instead of “more easy.” 😀
Thank U.
You're welcome!
Mam your videos are helping me a lot
That's great to hear! Thanks for being here 😊
thanks thanks i am now having an idea of how to paraphrase
Great! You're welcome!
I tried to do the practice given by you .Please point my mistakes if there's any .
1.Many of the smokers used to be living in affluent countries in the past. But at present maximum smokers reside in
developing countries.
2.More and more command over grammar and vocabulary will make paraphrasing easier.
3.First kids of families are more likely to become self supporting and victorious later.
4.Covid-19 worldwide outbreak has been more exigent due to a greater number of population afflicted by diabetes, heart disease and fatness.
Hi Satish,
These are great! Here are a few suggestions:
You wrote: Many of the smokers used to be living in affluent countries in the past. But at present maximum smokers reside in developing countries.
My correction: Many of the smokers used to be living in affluent countries in the past, but at present, most/a greater number of smokers reside in developing countries.
You wrote "fatness," but we always say "obesity."
You wrote 'victorious," but we only use that word for a war or battle. You should use "successful" instead.
1. In earlier days most of the smokers lived in wealthier countries but in the present days it's in developing countries.
2. Paraphrasing will be much easier if the students acquire good knowledge of grammar and vocabulary.
3. It is said that the successful and self living child in a family will be the first one, who is born to their families.
4. Due to Covid 19 panademic situation in US too many people are suffering health issues has been fell in to greater difficulties.
Hi Aneesh, Good job! A couple of tips: in #3, the word "self living" is not used in English. You can use independent or self-reliant. Sometimes we keep the original word because there is not a good enough synonym. Also, the grammar in #4 is not clear because there seem to be 2 main verbs without clear punctuation (are suffering ... has been fell). Try this: Due to Covid 19 pandemic situation in the U.S., too many people are suffering health issues and have fallen in to greater difficulties.
