Paraphrase
How? This is like using a wrench to ‘monkey’ around.
It sounds simple, but it can be tricky.
The rule is: USE YOUR OWN WORDS

Paraphrase Example
Original from World Book Encyclopedia--
“Polo commented on many Chinese customs, such as the mining and use of coal as fuel. Coal had not yet been used in Europe. Polo called coal black stones.”
My Paraphrase —
When he returned from his trip to China, Marco Polo brought back many new ideas to Europe. He told of the Chinese use of “black stones” for fuel. Using coal for fuel was a new concept for Europeans in 1298.
