The Skill post 2 - Summarize & Paraphrase

Summarize from the handout - Bear Attacks

You might went through the bear attacks while go hiking. However, in fact, if you run to the bear, it will go away because of the fear. According to the Yellostone National Park in U.S., more people died due to the drowning, not the bear attack. But, although these happening is rare, if you want to prevent this, go hiking with groups about over 4 people and stay calm even though you see the bear.


Paraphrase from the handout - Bear Attacks

Original : Traveling in groups is one way to reduce the chances. Bears are very unlikely to attack group of  four or more people. Also, stay calm if you run into a bear. Bears are much more likely to attack if you try to run away.

Paraphrase : To decrease the attack from the bear, it is good to hang out with other people since bears usually do not attack a lot of people at once. Additionally, if you stay quietly as bear seems to attack you more when you run away.


Summarize from the handout - Shark Attacks

Even though you might have some episodes about the shark attacks, you have more chances to be struck by the lightning, not the shark attacks. You can travel with groups or stay out from the water if you are still worried about the shark attacks.


Paraphrase from the handout - Shark Attacks

Original : It is more likely that you will be struck by lightning. In the coastal states of the U.S., about 180  people are struck by lightening every year, but only about 11 people are attacked by sharks. Of those 11 attacks, chances are that only one of them will be fatal.

Paraphrase : It appears to you that you will be hurt because of lightning. According to the coastal sates in the U.S., just 11 people are raided by shark while approximately 180 people, a huge amount of people, are attacked by lightening every year. Just a person will be lethal among 11 raiders.


= This was my skill post 2 and I wrote the 2 summaries and 2 paraphrases in handout sheets although I can just write one of each. The next skill post will be same because I will write about the summary and paraphrasing, but I will write those things in the articles I found on the internet. ^^
