Advanced exercise

In your notebook write a paraphrase of the following passage. Try not to look back at the original passage.

paraphrasing

Rules for paraphrasing:

• Use your own words.
• Don't repeat sentence structure or copy words. Instead, vary the sentence structure and use a combination of synonyms and alternative phrases.
• Don't add new information to your paraphrase. Stick to the original ideas and main points.

"The Antarctic is the vast source of cold on our planet, just as the sun is the source of our heat, and it exerts tremendous control on our climate," [Jacques] Cousteau told the camera. "The cold ocean water around Antarctica flows north to mix with warmer water from the tropics, and its upwellings help to cool both the surface water and our atmosphere. Yet the fragility of this regulating system is now threatened by human activity." From "Captain Cousteau," Audubon (May 1990):17.

Possible answer

According to Jacques Cousteau, the activity of people in Antarctica is jeopardizing a delicate natural mechanism that controls the earth's climate. He fears that human activity could interfere with the balance between the sun, the source of the earth's heat, and the important source of cold from Antarctic waters that flow north and cool the oceans and atmosphere ("Captain Cousteau" 17).
