How Can I Write a Good
Paraphrase?
   First, ask yourself, “What is the writer saying
    about the topic?” This will help you find the
    main idea.
   Second, figure out which words can be
    paraphrased and which can’t.
   Third, look away from the original text. This will
    help you find new words to describe the main
    idea.
   Fourth, write it down clearly! Make sure you
    can understand it later on.
