10 SIMPLE PARAPHRASING
EXERCISES THAT WILL BOOST
YOUR ACADEMIC SUCCESS
Exercise #1
Original text: “The video of Topen’s dancing has racked up
more than 400,000 views since it was posted on YouTube
last week, and the plumber says he’s already been
approached in public for his autograph.”
Paraphrase: Even though the YouTube video of the dancing
plumber was only posted last week, it has already had more
than 400,000 views. Topen has become an almost instant
celebrity as strangers asked him for autographs.
• Paraphrasing is restating a passage, in your own words
without parting the key points of the original text. Use
automatic paraphraser to have a better version of the
manuscript.
Exercise #2
Original text: “Police have arrested a 28-year-old man who
they say broke into an Austin business, stole a couple of
sausages and fell asleep.”
Paraphrase: A 28 year old man in Austin, Texas didn’t break
into a business and run, like most criminals. Instead, he took
several sausages then simply fell asleep inside the business.
• When paraphrasing, remember to convey only what the
original says. Do not add your opinions. Seek help from
online paraphrasing to express flawlessly the message of
the passage.
Exercise #3
Original text: “Police in New Jersey say a man told officers
he fled the scene of an auto accident because he ‘didn’t
want to deal with his girlfriend yelling at him.’”
Paraphrase: A man in New Jersey seemed to think leaving
the scene of a car crash and being arrested was a better
option than listening to his girlfriend yell.
Accuracy is important in paraphrasing. Be sure to restate
what the original says. Or perhaps you can use a trustworthy
paraphraser online to do it for you.
Exercise #4
Original text: “A 68-year-old Gastonia man says he scared
off two men in ski masks trying to break in his home with his
gun he can keep on his walker.”
Paraphrase: Two men attempted to break into a man’s
home who is in his late 60’s; however, they were scared off
by the gun the man kept on his walker.
• Always reread the passage you are to paraphrase. Make
sure you understand it fully for you to correctly the
reword sentences.
Exercise #5
Original text: “A Washington state man is accused of
swapping furniture with his neighbors while they were
away. The man told the court he was drunk when he
decided to switch furniture when he thought they moved
and abandoned their furniture. , calling his buddy for help.”
Paraphrase: A man pleaded not guilty to residential burglary
even though he switched furniture with his neighbors when
they were not home. He was drunk at the time and claimed
that he supposed that the stuffs were abandoned.
• When you are to start paraphrasing, set aside the
original text and write down in your own language to
“reword my sentence”.
Exercise #6
Original text: "DALLAS (Reuters) – Holy Bargain, Batman!
The original Batmobile fetched $137,000 at auction on
Saturday, a small fraction of the $4.2 million that a buyer
paid last year for another version built for the television
show that aired during the 1960s.”
Paraphrase: The original Batmobile only sold for $137,000 at
auction, but the Batmobile built for the 1960’s TVs show
sold for $4.2 million the year before.
• Jot down words that are significant subjects to the
passage. You can use a rewording tool instead.
Exercise #7
Original text: "For some reason, cheese-topped donuts are
quite popular in Indonesia, and in September 2013 KFC
decided to get in on the action, offering a glazed donut
topped with shredded Swiss and cheddar cheese.”
Paraphrase: In 2013, a KFC in Indonesia began selling
shredded Swiss and cheddar cheese topped glazed donuts, a
treat that is popular in this Asian country.
• Compare your rendition from the original text. Check if
you have injected the correct key points of that of the
original.
You can also utilize a paraphrase generator available when
you are in doubt.
Exercise #8
Original text: "College admissions officers all advise against
writing a college admission essay about something that an
applicant learned while stoned or drunk. But they still get a
few of those essays.”
Paraphrase: Students with lessons learned from using drugs
and getting drunk, are advised by admission committee to
not include these in their essays.
• You can use quotation marks to identify unique words
from the author. Or perhaps, you can use an online
paraphrasing service to have your material professionally
paraphrased.
Exercise #9
Original text: "Often, a dog will chase an animal with the
focus of a heat-seeking missile. But a wheelbarrow planter
was not part of Belgian sheepdog Rider’s focus. Rider
collided with the wheelbarrow while the squirrel escaped up
a cedar tree in Bethan's backyard.”
Paraphrase: Rider, a Belgian sheepdog, became so focused
on chasing down a squirrel that he paid no attention to the
wheelbarrow that is in front of him. The squirrel got away
but Rider directly collided to the wheelbarrow.
• Record the source you got the passage from and include
it to your citation page. A paraphrase tool is helpful
when you are having difficulty in paraphrasing.
Exercise #10
Original text: “According to Heat magazine, Miley has a list
of intense rules for her men-to-be while out on dates.
Apparently her assistant arranges what the guy must wear,
do, and talk about on the date.”
Paraphrase: Miley Cyrus has a number of bizarre rules for
dating as stated in Heat magazine. She’s so organized about
what her dates wear, say, and do, that she has her assistant
enforce these rules on dates.

as this is committing a serious crime called plagiarism.
