Example of quoting:
This article discusses why people are protesting the plans to build a new fast food restaurant in Pleasant Hill, California. According to the article, people say that "the chain 'will bring noise, pollution, crime, odors and traffic to their neighborhood." The people do not want to have the problems that the new restaurant could bring to their area.

Example of paraphrasing (saying what the writer said in my own words):
Reporter Nancy Luna writes that the government had stopped In-N-Out from building a new restaurant due to problems it would cause for traffic in the town San Juan Capistrano.
