It weaves through crooked canyons, climbs sheer mountains, plunges over rocky crags, makes its way through thick forests, and passes over or under hundreds of rivers and streams.

10. Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing is a reading and writing skill. Read a sentence or paragraph and then write the same ideas using your words.
Paraphrasing is not copying. Good paraphrasing shows you understand other people’s ideas and can write them in a way that makes sense to you.
One way to paraphrase is to rewrite sentences and change them into the passive form. Most sentences are written in active form. Therefore, if you can rewrite sentences in a passive form, you will be able to practice a good paraphrasing skill.
