In last Sunday's lesson I wrote that an advanced user of any language is someone who can express the same idea in a variety of ways. When you do this, you are paraphrasing.
Let's practise paraphrasing some of the ideas from Friday's speaking lesson. Can you express the ideas below in one or two (or more) different ways? Note: you don't need to use exact synonyms - just make sure you communicate the same overall idea.
- Traffic clogs up the main street.
- Local people need to bring the problem to light.
- They should come up with some possible designs.
- This would have a positive knock-on effect.
1.
The main street suffers from traffic congestion.
There is a traffic jam on the main street.
People get caught in a heavy-loaded traffic on the main street.
2.
Local citizens should reveal the problem.
The problem needs to be exposed to the public.
There is a need for local residents to uncover the problem.
3.
They need to think of some other potential layouts.
They should put/bring forward a range of feasible layouts.
Some other designs need to be introduced.
4.
This would bring up an overwhelmingly positive influence.
This would exert a stunning active impact.

Hi there!
Recently, I've come to the question in the Listening task which I've found a bit confusing. It was written NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS, and the question was asking the name of the novel. I wrote "Secret Garden" (two words). But after comparing my answers to the Correct Answers, I discovered that I omitted an article "the" before the novel's name. Correct Answer to that question was "The Secret Garden". So I'm confused if my answer is still wrong?
My apologies for writing off-topic.
Thank you in advance.
