Paraphrasing
An excerpt from The Language Wars: A History of Proper English by
Henry Hitchings:
o No language has spread as widely as English, and it continues to
spread. Internationally, the desire to learn it is insatiable. In the
twenty-first century the world is becoming more urban and more
middle class, and the adoption of English is a symptom of this,
for increasingly English serves as the lingua franca of business
and popular culture. It is dominant or at least very prominent in
other areas such as shipping, diplomacy, computing, medicine
and education (300).
This paraphrase is ineffective because of the use of synonyms; it is
plagiarized. Do not write paraphrases like this one.
o Internationally, the desire to learn English is insatiable. In today’s
society, the world is becoming wealthier and more urban, and
the use of English is a symptom of this (Hitchings 300).
This paraphrase is effective. Model your work after this example.
o Because English is used so frequently in global communications,
many people around the world want to learn English as they
become members of the middle class (Hitchings 300).
