Read the paragraphs below and paraphrase them.

Text One:
"So dynamic is the Web that new technologies and techniques are emerging all the time.
What's commonplace one year becomes old hat the next. The only thing that seems to
remain constant is people's desire to transmit and receive information efficiently and to
communicate with others, no matter what the means. That's what drives people to shop,
invest, and converse online, and it is the same force that is propelling them to learn online as
well" (Ko & Rossen, 2008, p. 5).

Text Two:
Students frequently overuse direct quotation in taking notes, and as a result they overuse
quotations in the final [research] paper. Probably only about 10% of your final manuscript
should appear as directly quoted matter. Therefore, you should strive to limit the amount of
exact transcribing of source materials while taking notes. (Source: Lester, James D. Writing
Research Papers. 2nd ed. (1976): p.46-47)

Text Three:
A newer term, exploratory subjects, refers to subjects that students may choose from a list of
courses designed to suit a wide range of learning styles, needs, and interests. These
courses, which can include such subjects as study skills, computer science, creative writing,
and drama, allow the school to diversify its offerings. They appear most often in middle
school and late elementary-school curricula. Schools that include exploratory subjects in the
curriculum tend to be more progressive in outlook than schools that still favor the traditional
core academic subjects. (Ornstein, A.C. and Levine, D.U. Foundations in Education, 10th ed.
(2008) p.145)
