8a. Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing

To shorten and greatly reduce the prolonged or "long-windedness" of some information and or data, I will below be using an example of an internet source quote, paraphrasing and summarizing it.





~Quote~


Source- Online (Internet)http://middlespot.com/
Title- "Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of plant... aromatic essential oils to promote physical and psychological well-being.It is sometimes used in combination with massage and other therapeutic techniques as part of a holistic treatment approach." [The Definiton Of Aromatherapy]

Paraphrased version- Aromatherapy is the therapeutical and remedial (medical) usage of wild and organic plants either through inscents or body oils to heal the body and aid the overall longevity and stability or maintenance of health.

Summarized version- Aromatherapy helps individuals by incorporating physical treatment via scents that emanate from exotic plants in order to heal the body and mind in various ways which is all classified as holistic treatment or medicine.

    Jerrell, great job on your paraphrasing. They all stayed true to the original quote and still sounded professional without being too wordy. Great work
