In the absence of technology, the skills that can be acquired academically are certainly bound to be slow to acquire.

On paraphrasing these posted materials I gradually stated to earn the mastery of paraphrasing and the correct way of citing or providing references to an external source.

To ensure the skills in paraphrasing are continually held, I will continue to practice paraphrasing and re-write some more articles in a paraphrased manner. Another well planned strategy would be reading published materials by different authors on the same topic. Since they are different, then they would have conveyed the same idea in different ways. This would give me further knowledge on how to address a point using different words but be able to carry the same meaning.
