"Exercise"
It is well known that exercise helps to alleviate stress. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Association (NHLBA) endorse exercise as a way to reduce stress, and recommends cardiovascular exercise that elevates the heart rate for 15 to 30 minutes--three to four times a week. The American Psychology Association has conducted numerous studies indicating the beneficial effects of exercise in dealing with stress. Exercise releases endorphins into the blood stream. Endorphins are "feel good" hormones and are the body's natural pain-killers. They also generate the sensory perception of physical well-being, which in turn contributes to emotional and mental health.

Paraphrase #1 (too close to original)

Everyone knows that exercise can help to alleviate stress. In fact, the National Heart, lung and Blood Association endorse exercise as a good way to cut down on stress and suggests that we need cardiovascular exercise for 15 to 30 minutes three to four times a week. There have also been many studies by the American Psychology Association that show that exercise is a good way to deal with stress. This is because exercise releases endorphins, the "feel good" hormones, into the blood. These hormones also bring about the perception of well-being, so emotional and mental health improves.

The koala is a gentle little animal. It is almost defenseless. Only its color

protects it from enemies. The koala makes no nest. It just sits in the forked

branches of a tree. Unlike a bird, it cannot balance itself with its tail—because it

has no tail. It likes gum trees the best because it loves entirely on the leaves of the

tree. Sometimes the supply of its special diet is used up. The koala, rather than

seek food elsewhere, will stay in its own area and starve to death.

Paraphrase of The Koala Bear

The koala bear lives in Australia. It is really a “Teddy Bear” that is alive. It

has thick gray fur that feels as soft as that of the toy bear. The koala has special

features: big head, large ears, and little, dark eyes without expression. As black as

shiny leather, the koala’s nose appears to be too large for his face.

A gentle small animal, the koala has only one way to defend itself from its

enemies. Its color is its only protection. Making no nest, the koala just sits where

branches fork in a tree. Without a tail, the koala cannot keep itself balanced like a

bird. The koala eats only the leaves of gum trees which it likes best. If all of its

special food is eaten, the koala will not look for food outside its own area. It will

remain where it is and die of starvation.
