How to paraphrase effectively
|
Welcome to our newsletter. Here is our next new creation for academic writing skills - 'Academic Paraphrasing 2’. We have updated our highly successful Paraphrasing Lesson 1: how to paraphrase effectively and also added a new lesson ‘Paraphrasing Lesson 2: improve your paraphrasing skills’ which builds on the first lesson. I think we all know that academic English students need lots of practice in paraphrasing.
