IELTS Speaking: paraphrasing examples
Here are some easy examples of paraphrasing, using five sentences from last Friday's speaking lesson:
I was never much of a singer =
I didn't really like singing when I was younger
I was always a little shy =
As a child I wasn't very outgoing
This happens once a week or less =
I do this perhaps once every week* at most
I prefer to listen to a variety of music =
I like all kinds of music
Singing contests are hugely popular at the moment =
Singing competitions seem to be all the rage**
* We could write "every 7 days", but this sounds a little less natural
** all the rage = an idiomatic expression meaning "very popular"
