    The document discusses paraphrasing and provides two examples. It explains that business communication is increasingly global and an awareness of other cultures and how they conduct business is essential. It then paraphrases this statement in a shorter form while still accurately conveying the key information. A second example discusses how establishing a horizon line is important for landscape drawings, and this is also paraphrased in a condensed yet accurate way. The document demonstrates how to effectively paraphrase the main ideas from text while changing the wording.

    Paraphrasing Examples

    InfoSkillz Index

    Original Paragraph: Example 1.

    “Business communication is increasingly taking place internationally – in all countries,


    among all peoples, and across all cultures. An awareness of other cultures – of their
    languages, customs, experiences and perceptions – as well as an awareness of the way in
    which other people conduct their business, are now essential ingredients of business
    communication” (Chase, O’Rourke & Wallace, 2003, p.59).

    Example of Paraphrasing

    The importance of understanding the traditions, language, perceptions and the manner in
    which people of other cultures conduct their business should never be underestimated, and is
    a crucial component of business communication (Chase, O’Rourke & Wallace, 2003).

    ( Notice the full stop comes after the bracket to finish the sentence.)

    Original Paragraph: Example 2.

    “One of the most important elements that the perspective drawer needs to establish is the
    horizon line or the eye level. In a landscape or seascape, the horizon line is where the land or
    sea appears to meet the sky. It is important to establish this line even though it may be
    obscured by hills or buildings” (Smagula, 2002, p.172).

    Example of Paraphrasing

    According to Smagula (2002) the horizon line or eye line is an essential component in the
    work of prospective drawers. This line, where the land meets the sea, should be established
    even though it may be hidden in some cases.
