Learning Task No 2: “Summarize, Quote, Paraphrase”
A. Summarizing
According to a text by Education.com, sharks are the fiercest fish in the ocean. Swimmers are afraid of them
because they are carnivores. They are known for their sharp teeth, and unlike any other animal, they can replace
them as many as 20,000 times. However, despite that interesting fact, not all of them are ferocious. There are
sharks like the basking shark and the whale shark that eat only plankton, and they are known as "gentle giants."
But still, sharks like the great white shark and the tiger shark remain dangerous hunters. But with humans who kill
thousands of them, who do you think are the most dangerous predator?
B. Quoting

C. Paraphrasing
Differences Between the Poor and Effective Paraphrase of the Quote by Michael
Kimmelman
The poorly paraphrased quote seems to have a very similar sentence structure to the original one. It just uses
different words and changes a few phrases. It also didn't give credit to the source of the information that he/she
paraphrased, the quote from Michael Kimmelman. On the other hand, the effectively paraphrased quote is the opposite of
the first one. It flows well with the words used to paraphrase the original quote. It flows well because it uses its own
words to form different sentence structure by using what he/she understands from the original one. And most importantly,
it cited the source of the information that he/she paraphrased to give credit and avoid plagiarism.
Learning Output #2: “Para-Quo-rize!”
Original Source
Shop at the farmers' market. You'll begin to eat foods in season, when they are at the peak of their
nutritional value and flavor, and you'll cook, because you won't find anything processed or microwavable.
You'll also be supporting farmers in your community, helping defend the countryside from sprawl, saving
oil by eating food produced nearby and teaching your children that a carrot is a root, not a machine-lathed
orange bullet that comes in a plastic bag. A lot more is going on at a farmers' market than the exchange of
money for food.
SUMMARIZE
According to the food writer Michael Pollan (2006), one of the best ways to eat wisely is by shopping
at the farmers’ market. By this way, we can consume fresher foods. In addition, because foods there are
unprocessed and are not microwavable, individuals will do more home cooking. Oil will also be consumed
less, and children will have better knowledge at how fruits and vegetables, the fresh foods, are grown.
PARAPHRASE
Micheal Pollan, author of the The Omnivore’s Dilemma and professor of journalism at UC Berkely,
insists on his article, Six Rules to Eat Wisely, that buying foods at the farmers market is a way for us to eat
wisely. Individuals will be able to consume the highest nutrition and flavor of the freshly harvested foods
that they’re selling seasonally. In addition, people will be encouraged to do more home cooking because
those foods are unprocessed and are not microwavable, all are grown within the nature. The farmers will
also receive more support, which will prevent structures from building in their farm lands, and will also
prevent natural resources such as oil that factories are using for propel vehicles and for producing electricity
to processed and trade foods. Young generations will also be able to learn that foods are more nutritious if
they’re grown naturally rather than using machines.
