Start with "Please tell me how to use the word 'paraphrase' in speaking effectively." ;-)

To 'paraphrase' means to use different words to convey the same meaning. An example in speech might be:
"Sorry I don't quite understand, could you please paraphrase?" or
"I don't remember his actual words so I'm paraphrasing."
