Divinder22, ANYONE could write something in their own words. Check the link I gave a few posts ago, from Univ of Indiana. It says to read the paragraph, cover it, and then write it in your own words. We're not talking about writing a novel here.

And if you can't write something original, don't call yourself a writer. Don't submit articles for publication. 94% of people can't run a triathalon, or fly an airplane, or climb Mt. Everest. So they don't.
