How can we paraphrase this passage?

[Silverobama]

My student has already finished learning the IPA (international phonetic alphabet) with me and we're studying some short articles now.



In order to help her with her spoken English, I asked her to paraphrase these short articles after we finish learning them. What questions can I ask to encourage her to try to use her own words to rephrase the whole passage? How about?

How can we paraphrase this passage?

Or perhaps the article is too long and I'd better ask her to paraphrase just a part of it?

@Silverobama, I think you should change your profile member type to "English teacher". I can't be the only person who sees "Student or Learner" as the member profile and is then confused to read a text starting with "My student", and later saying "In order to help her with her spoken English".

I've moved this thread to the "Teaching English" section.
