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.

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.
@LearnAcademicEnglish

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 kzread.info/dash/bejne/gpNs2puIpJqrYbw.html). I will take another look and change the description in the video to make it clear. Thanks again :)

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.

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.
