Paraphrasing Practice“The experience [of being an 18 year old undergrad] is equal parts thrilling, liberating and terrifying, all rolled into one intense, first-year undertaking that catapults us from adolescence into adulthood.” – Sherrie Beattie
1. What words do you need to look up/have explained?– liberating = freeing
– intense = short and strong
– undertaking = task, activity, or project
– catapults = throws
2. Do you understand the passage now? What words or phrases still aren’t clear. On the exam you will not be able to use a dictionary (but I will provided definitions for the more difficult words) so you will have to try to guess meaning from the context and ask yourself if it makes sense.
2. Which words are necessary? “first year” “experience”
3. Possible paraphrases:
The first year of university is a mixture of positive and negative experiences that makes us grow up quickly.
The first year of university can be exciting, freeing, and scary for young students, but it can help them to mature very quickly.
