Paraphrase And Spotting Distractors
Overzicht
Two reading habits decide a surprising number of marks: saying things in your own words, and refusing to be fooled by detail that is true but irrelevant. Paraphrase is the skill of re-expressing an idea without copying it, and it proves you have understood rather than simply located a line. Distractors are the traps the paper sets, the answers that share a keyword or a topic with the question but do not actually answer it. Read carelessly and you copy the wrong line; read well and you reword the right one.
This lesson trains both. You will learn to recognise paraphrase and synonyms when a text rewords the answer, to put information into your own words cleanly, and to spot and reject the distractor that sits tantalisingly nearby. We model each move on short, realistic snippets, set a weak answer beside a strong one, and finish with a full task marked the way an examiner would mark it. These two habits run through the whole Reading and Writing paper.
Doelstellingen
- Express information from a text in your own words rather than copying it.
