paraphrase

Every Saturday morning I meet my friend at a small caf é to study together , and we usually bring our notes and a laptop . She is writing an essay and asks me to explain some sentences , so I paraphrase difficult parts to make the meaning clearer . Although we have different opinions about the topic , we check sources and edit the text carefully until both of us agree . If the paragraph were still confusing , we would rewrite it completely and then read it aloud to see if it sounds natural .
