express meaning in different words
To say or write something again in different words, but keep the same meaning.
사용 패턴：
to paraphrase [something]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners often confuse 'paraphrase' with 'summarize'. A paraphrase keeps all or almost all of the original meaning and length but changes the words, while a summary is much shorter and includes only the main points. Another common mistake is paraphrasing by changing only a few words; this is usually not considered a true paraphrase and can still count as copying.

restatement in different words
A text or sentence that says the same thing as another one, but with different words.
사용 패턴：
a paraphrase of [something]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes use 'paraphrase' when they mean 'summary'. A paraphrase is usually about the same length as the original and keeps almost all details. A summary is much shorter. Learners may also think any change of two or three words is enough to make a paraphrase; in most academic or test contexts, a good paraphrase has most of the wording changed while still keeping the meaning.
