1. Original Statement: This is the idea or statement you want to rephrase.
2. Restatement: This is the new version of the statement, using different words and phrasing, but conveying the same meaning.
Example:
* Original Statement: The weather is very hot today.
* Restatement: It's scorching outside.
Note: You might see a restatement sentence include a signal phrase, such as "in other words," "that is," or "to put it another way." These phrases help the reader understand that a restatement is coming.
So, the key elements are:
* Original Statement: The idea you're rephrasing
* Restatement: The new version of the idea
You can think of it as two sides of the same coin, with different expressions but the same underlying meaning.
