The Differences between Paraphrase, Summary, and Synthesis

The Differences between Paraphrase, Summary, and Synthesis.

in academic writing we can't put someone else idea without change the words with our own words or conclude it into the main information. we must make paraphrasing, summary, or synthesis in our academic writing if we use argument for someone else. in this case, I will show you the differences of paraphrasing, summary, or synthesis. 

1. Paraphrase
paraphrase is an activity to look at small part of the text and rewrite it in your own word.
ex :
Original sentence:
Giraffes like Acacia leaves and hay, and they can consume 75 pounds of food a day.
Paraphrase sentence:
A giraffe can eat up to 75 pounds of Acacia leaves and hay every day. ( source of example: http://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-paraphrasing-definition-examples-quiz.html ) 

2. Summary
Summary is an activity to look at the whole text and reduce it into a few sentences using your own word. 
ex :

                          Original

The amphibia, which is the animal class to which our frogs and toads belong, were the first animals to crawl from the sea and inhabit the earth.
Summary
The first animals to leave the sea and live on dry land were the amphibia. (source of example :http://www.uefap.com/writing/report/rep_sum.htm )

3. Synthesis
Synthesis is an activity to combine 2 information or more into a small sentences with your own words.
ex :
information A + Information B = Information AB
