一、Paraphrasing with synonyms

同义词替换，就是用同义词替换原文的词汇。但是哪些词是可以被替换的呢的?主要还是实意词(Content words)，比如动词(verb)，形容词(Adjective)，副词(Adverb)这些有意义的词汇。举几个例子来看看吧；

Clovis(2008)stated that substantial progress was needed.

2.Studentsresponses to the questionnaire were collected quickly.

Studentsanswers to the survey were obtained rapidly.

二、Active Voice/Passive Voice(Verb)

从主动句变被动句，或者被动句变成主动句，主要是语法上的改变。这个改写方法对语法知识有一些要求。

2.Six countries founded the European Economic Community when they signed the Treaties of Rome in 1957.

三、Nominalization(Noun)

名词化其实是小编觉得最好用的改写方法，也是我们澳洲大学在线1对1补习的重点内容，主要是名词化可以让你的改写或者论证更加(字)客(数)观(多)。这个方法通常是把动词短语(Verb Phrase)改成名词短语(Noun Phrase)，动词(verb)改成noun+of+noun的形式。
