paraphraseing

[ayoung]

could you please paraphrase this for me:

Well, this semester is killing me. I have so many projects due, two tests on Friday, and I work 20 hours a week. There is not time to do anything I want to do and I am feeling more stressed than ever!

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

1. Why do you want to paraphrase it?
2. Why do you think we should do it for you?

 

[ayoung]

I am just learning how to paraphrase and I want to insure I am doing it correctly. It is part of my homework assingment

Please read this forum rule, ayoung:

Homework

1. 
   Please don't ask us to do or correct your homework; this is a place to discuss language. We do not do homework or assignments for people. If we suspect that a question is an assignment, we will not answer it and may edit or delete it.

I am NOT asking you to do my homework for me! I was simply asking for reassurance of what I was trying to do. Thank you for you concern.

Perhaps:

I only have time to work and study. I am all worn out, and I have not time for fun.

Thank you senior member for your suggestion. I will compare it to what I have written.

You have been extremely lucky that Tarheel has chosen to help you with homework.

It was made clear to you in post #4 that we do not do people's homework. You asked us to paraphrase it in post #1. In post #3 you said it was part of your homework assignment. I don't see how, in post #5 you can say "I am not asking you to do my homework for me".

Additionally, if you had shown us what you had written, we could have compared it to the original and maybe offered suggestions for improvement.

 

[Tarheel]

Well, he/she said:

"I am NOT asking you to do my homework for me!"

​

I guess I forgot the other part.

Awww, Tarheel, you're so wonderfully trusting! ;-)
