Assignment 2 - Paraphrasing and Summarizing

This assignment aims to clarify the different means to write an assignment in a better way
specially when it comes to paraphrasing and editing.

Paraphrasing is a way used to simplify and convince the reader about some statements
as such a research paper, assignment in another way to grab his/her attention, it basically
requires the writer to rewrite that particular statement. However, it is entirely different than
amending or editing, as amending or editing means that to change in the grammar, punctuations
and manipulating that Particular Sentence and here we refer also to the “Sentence Placement”.
Editing also means that to give more clear instances to the reader than what was founded by
the writer, so that sentence may look more understandable and completed (Ellison, 2010, p.
145).

I can conclude or summarize that, Paraphrasing and editing are very substantial, as the
writer may have read or gone through articles, scholars, or statements that he can look into
them in a different way or simplifying it by paraphrasing it or demonstrate it in a way that may
be more understandable to the reader.
