My lesson now is: paraphrasing. (To paraphrase, if you prefer...the infinitive form!)
I VISITED Long Beach City College website (during my break from bedroom cleaning, dust gathering, and other delilahs!) and I like its definition about PARAPHRASE. To quote, "...restating a passage in simpler language." Meaning, you have to use your own words, own effort to make sentences (or one sentence!) and not "copy-paste" style of stealing ideas. If you rob a car, that is larceny. In words, if you copy slash rob ideas, that is plagiarism!
Simple Sample on this topic, The sun is here and the balut vendor feels ecstatic. Paraphrase: The sun shows up and the vendor of balut is happy about it.
Paraphrase, I love you! You make my originality word-making improving. No to Plagiarists, Go to Paraphrasists!
Good Luck to my second year students! NAT is NOT a hard NUT to crack if you review like a GNAT!
