Based on my understanding, paraphrasing or

rephrasing is the best way to avoid plagiarism. I
also learn how to express myself in a proper
manner and at the same time it prepares me for
the future since I know I’ll be able to use this skill
all the time.

stopwatch feature, countdown timer, light and
water resistance.
