"These agencies have the greatest advantage in their flexibility, which provides them with ease so that they do not remain tied to the controls of regular organizations. And in fact, this does not alter in any way its incentive and efficiency towards its activities. This keeps them more free to try new experiments and that their goals can be successfully achieved."

Paraphrasing means saying what has already been said by someone else using different words. It is when you use the text of a third party and rewrite it. It is, from the linguistic point of view, intertext. This is not a mere substitution of terms for similar ones, or synonyms, it consists of reformulating an author's speech, seeking to make it clearer and more intelligible to those who will read his text.
