1. Yun-Pi Yuan1 Paraphrase

2. Yun-Pi Yuan2 Paraphrase: definition & requirements Paraphrase: to need and understand a piece of source material and then to rewrite it in your own words/ways; i.e., using your own words to express what has been said or written by someone else; so require an active listening careful reading

3. Yun-Pi Yuan3 What to Keep & What to Change Keep: the exact meaning (as closely as possible) Change: the way the meaning is expressed (including grammatical structures; rearrange the sequences of information, use different words— except for scientific terms, and use your own style).

4. Yun-Pi Yuan4 To Avoid Plagiarism Plagiarism: if you consult reference sources for information and copy the material without proper documentation, it’s a serious offense (yes, even for published material). So, always acknowledge your sources (called “documentation”).

5. Yun-Pi Yuan5 Quotation Use quotation marks when you wish to emphasize exactly what the speaker/writer said (also need to document it); otherwise, you can usually express ideas more clearly and effectively in your own words (also to make consistency in style).
