Annotation: Paraphrasing is when you take an original idea and re-write it to express the same meaning but in a different way. This might be by changing words, word forms, sentence structure, or using synonyms. If you think this is just for writing academic papers, think again. We actually paraphrase all the time! When you read a book, article, or watch a movie and tell your friends about it, you are paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is important to the IELTS writing task 2 because your introduction paragraph is basically a paraphrase of the essay prompt.

Keywords: paraphrasing, avoiding plagiarism, using synonms, IELTS writing task 2, order of clauses.
