Don’t use an unnecessary article before a noun. For example, don’t say “the information is” when you can say “information is”. The word “information” is uncountable, so it doesn’t need an article.
Don’t confuse cities with towns, villages, or hamlets.
Paraphrasing is about changing words with synonyms, and also changing the grammatical structure of the sentence.
Writing Task 1
Be mindful of the difference between charts and diagrams. Charts show data, while diagrams show processes or how something works. Don’t say “the chart shows” when describing a diagram and vice versa. Even better is using more specific word for the type of chart, like “the bar chart shows” or “the line graph shows”.
Don’t say the diagram below. The diagram isn’t below. Avoid using “below” or “above” when describing the diagram. Instead, you can say “the diagram illustrates” or “the diagram depicts”.
Exercise extreme caution when describing what the data is about. For example, don’t write sales when describing the average monthly sales. Be specific and accurate when describing what the data is about.
You are describing the data, not giving examples. Don’t say “for example” when describing the data or any other word with the same meaning.
Use “show”, “illustrate”, and “give information about”.
This is a short report. Don’t repeat information.
Lifecycle could be paraphrased as “the stages in the life of …”, “the phases … passes throug during its life”, “the diagram illstrates the stages of development that a … passes through during its life”.
