Youre asked to use outside sources for a paper, and your professor
wants to see more summaries and paraphrases than direct
quotations.

But didnt your original source already write it best? How else
could you possibly rephrase this?

Practice!
Like any other skill, the more you summarize and paraphrase
effectively, the easier it gets.
Paraphrasing is a rewriting of text in your own words, used to clarify
meaning, and used to shorten a longer statement but keeps the main
ideas.
