How to Paraphrase Examine whether or not this paraphrase is effective. Original Content 1 Paraphrase 1 The manifestations of allergy are signs of immune system running amok.

They just make the sufferer miserable – sometimes for brief periods, and sometimes for life. Allergy reactions show our body is acting wildly. The body can respond to or over-respond to certain allergens, but it’s typically not lethal. The durations of the symptoms can be short or last a lifetime.

Original Content 2 Paraphrase 2 A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, emitted by a country or a person in a year. Emissions from human activities-such as the burning of fossil fuels to produce energy-are the main cause of high levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The production of these gases results in a warming of the lower atmosphere, particularly in the polar regions, leading to the melting of polar ice and rising sea levels. A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases released by a country or a person in one year. These greenhouse gases are high and they are caused by burning of fossil fuels to create energy. These gases cause the lower atmosphere to get warmer, especially in the polar regions, making the ice melt and causing the sea levels to rise. Let’s check Did the writer use his/her own words?
