20’ Theory: listen and reproduce in source language
Paraphrasing is the restatement of a text or utterance, giving the same meaning in another form. It is the expression of what someone has written or said in another, possibly clearer or easier way. For instance, the ntence “the book he wrote 20 years ago has always been his boast and pride.” Might be restated as “He has always boasted about and felt proud of the book he wrote 20 years ago”.
