Handout Chp. 8

On the handout chapter 8, it contain about paraphrase and summary, this topic has been discussed by Mr. Charles in the Academic English class. First, paraphrase is some information that could be rewrite from outside source with our own words and with the same meaning. Second, summary is almost the same like paraphrase, but the words in the summary is shorter than the length of the original words. Although we had rewrite the information with our own words, we still have to content the sources of the info that we found from the internet, book, or printed media. I think this is the important topic to make an essay, it could be a functional part to avoid plagiarism in writing and we could also use this paraphrase or summary to support our writing material. As a result, the more sources you have could contain more supporting sentences and ideas.
