What is Paraphrasing and Summarizing?

What is Paraphrasing?

    Paraphrasing is retelling or rewriting a certain information in your own words without changing the core meaning of the rewritten information. It cannot be too different from it as it the information will change its core meaning and it cannot be too similar as that will make it an act of plagiarism. Since the rewrite will include all of its content, Paraphrasing will mostly be at around the same length as the source information.


What is Summarizing?

    Summarizing is retelling or rewriting a certain information while shortening it to only the core points of the information while leaving most of the supporting details using only a few of your own words as possible. As Summarizing only retells the core points of the information, it is naturally far more shorter in length compared to paraphrasing.

"No Rafale, No Gripen: Colombian Air Force Fails to Close New Fighter Deal and Kfir Fleet Won’t Have a Replacement"

News Article Source: https://www.aviacionline.com/2023/01/no-rafale-no-gripen-colombian-air-force-fails-to-close-new-fighter-deal-and-kfir-fleet-wont-have-a-replacement/
 

    Colombian Minister of Defense Iván Velásquez informed during an interview to Radio Caracol’s 6AM that it was not possible to reach an agreement with Dassault or Saab for the purchase of the fighters that should begin to replace the IAI Kfir of the Colombian Air Force (FAC) starting this year. Two weeks ago, Velásquez gave an interview to the same show in which he assured that the Government was inclined to choose the French fighter as a replacement for the Kfir, over the proposals of the American F-16 Block 70/72 and the Swedish Gripen E.


    To pay for the first part of the acquisition, the Colombian Ministry of Defense had an available budget of USD 678 million agreed during the previous administration through a CONPES (National Council for Economic and Social Policy) document. In total, Colombia intended to purchase 16 Dassault Rafale fighters, over a period of 10 years, whose approximate cost would have been about USD 3,15 billion. However, the CONPES had an expiration date of December 31, 2022, and as the negotiations with the two preferred bidders could not be closed in time, the FAC’s Kfir replacement program was left without initial funding.


    Negotiations will continue this year, either with Dassault and the French government, or with Saab and Sweden, but the first obstacle that the Colombian Ministry of Defense will have to overcome is to discuss and obtain a new CONPES document that guarantees the necessary funds to undertake the purchase. This is not an easy task, since Minister Velásquez had previously assured that the purchase would not have an impact on the State’s immediate resources, since the CONPES budget had been previously allocated, and a five-year grace period was being negotiated with the bidders to resume payments.

 

    Meanwhile, the selection of a replacement for the FAC’s aging IAI Kfir fleet continues to be delayed, and the aircraft will have to remain in service in some form, even though the worst condition examples were due to be decommissioned later this year.

Paraphrasing the News Article

    The replacement of the Colombian Air Force's (FAC) Israeli Aviation Industry IAI Kfir that should've begun this year has proven to be impossible at the current time due to them failing to reach any agreements with both Dassault Aviation and Saab Aerospace according to the Colombian Minister of Defense Iván Velásquez in an interview on Radio Caracol's 6AM. The Government was interested in acquiring the French Fighter (Dassault Rafale) as a replacement of the Kfirs than the other proposals being the American F-16 Block 70/72 and the Swedish Gripen E, according to Minister Velásquez two weeks ago in the same show.


    According to a CONPES (National Council for Economic and Social Policy) document, the agreed allocated budget for the Colombian Ministry of Defense to do the first part of the purchase was USD 678 million during the previous administration. Colombia intended to buy 16 Dassault Rafale Fighters in the course of 10 years, which would cost around USD 3,15 billion in total for them to acquire. Although in the end, the FAC's Kfir replacement ended up having no initial funds due to the negotiations failing to reach any agreement from all parties before the CONPES's expiration date at December 31st of 2022.


    The Colombian Ministry of Defense will have to first discuss and obtain a new CONPES document that will give them the necessary budget for the purchase, then negotiations will continue with either the Dassault Aviation and the French Government or with Saab Aerospace and the Swedish Government this year. But since the CONPES budget had been allocated, and a five-year grace period was being negotiated with the bidders to resume payments, this proves to be challenging as due to Minister Velásquez's previous promise of the purchase will not impact the State's immediate resources.


    This forced the aging IAI Kfir fleet to remain in extended service and it will have to be flight capable in whatever condition they are now as the selection of replacements for it continues to be delayed, although aircraft in the fleet that are in worse and dangerous conditions will still be retired early.

Summarizing the News Article

    The replacement of the IAI Kfir fleet of the Colombian Air Force has been delayed according to the Colombian Minister of Defense due to failing to reach any agreement in time with either the French Dassault Aviation and Swedish Aerospace in their deals of the French Dassault Rafale and Swedish SAAB Gripen E. This forced the aging IAI Kfir fleet to remain in extended service in their poor conditions until an agreement for their replacements is met, although aircraft in terrible conditions will still be retired early.

Gold, Silver, Indigo and The Swift One

Narrative Paragraph Assignment M. Athaillah Zain 2SA05 10621211   Once upon a time, there are three young boys named Gold, Silver, and Indigo. These three are very brothers. They were very proud of the name they were bestowed upon as it also mimics their hair colour, except Indigo. Indigo always felt different than the two as his hair has a darker colour unlike his two friends, but also the fact that his name was taken after his eye colour. His brothers do not mind it, but casually poked at him about it jokingly. Indigo may not tell them right at their faces, but he tends to take those jokes seriously to the heart. One day, they were hunting a deer in the forest. Gold and Silver were very adept at hunting, but while Indigo can still use the bow and arrow, he is still an amateur at hunting in general. Indigo is a timid boy, and he just likes reading books more than hunting and he thought that he’s just deadweight, but they insisted to bring him with them as a learning experience...

ANALYSIS OF FIGURATIVE LANGUAGES IN CLASSICAL POEMS

Name : Muhammad Athaillah Zain Class : 4SA05 NPM : 10621211   Poem 1: Marching Men by Majorie Pickthall (1922) Under the level winter  sky I saw a thousand Christs go  by . They sang an idle song and  free As they went up to  Calvary .   Careless of eye and coarse of  lip , They marched in holiest  fellowship . That heaven might heal the world , they  gave Their earth-born dreams to deck the  grave .   With souls unpurged and steadfast  breath They supped the sacrament of  death.
