Avoid repeating task prompts: Paraphrasing demonstrates your range of vocabulary and flexibility in expressing ideas. Don’t copy phrases directly from the task prompt; instead, reword the information using synonyms or restructuring the sentence.

Example:

  • Task Prompt: “The number of people who use public transport…”
  • Paraphrase: “The proportion of commuters who rely on public transportation…”

Use synonyms and varied expressions: Show a range of vocabulary by avoiding overused words. For example, instead of saying “a lot,” use “a significant number,” “a large proportion,” or “a substantial amount.”
