My old school

The sun was bright and glaring. I was on way to my alma-mater after a Chinese New Year celebration at school. I wonder if my school had changed, or the teachers, or even, the principal! Wondering aboout my old school, I reached the gate. The school had changed. A fresh coat of paint covered it and the originally yellow stairs were painted with bright colours. The only thing that did not change was the school gate, with the school name right on it.
With a heart of courage and excitement, i stepped in. As I walked towards the staff room, familiar faces of friends past by as I readily said 'hi' to them.

Finally, after a flight of stairs, I was in the staff room. I looked around, hoping to find my favourite teacher soon and I did. She was just sitting there, writting something. I walked quickly to her, and called her name. She looked at me in amazement, maybe wondering why did I look for her (she was my Primary 4 teacher) "Hi!" She greeted me with her usual smile. "Congratulations!" As she stretched out her hand to me, i quickly shook her hands and said, "Thankyou!......"

How I wish I can have the chance to go back to my alma-mater again!

Plagiarism

Hi all, its me! You know who i am! Today, I'm going to talk about "Plagiarism".

What is Plagiarism?

Plagiarism is the use of the work of other people without acknowledgement and the act of using the ideas of another as one's own in written work.

How to avoid plagarism?

In my opinion, the best way to avoid plagiarism is to develop good habits of scholarship. Some of the necessary habits of scholarship are simple common sense. 1)When writing a paper:
give yourself enough time to do a good job. Students who procrastinate are more likely to plagiarise because rushing makes them sloppy. 2)If u really have a need to take something or copy something, cite the person or add the source in your assignment.

Summary.

Anyway, i feel that plagiarism is terrible. How would you feel when your assignment, done with a lot of effort, is being copied? I can say that when a person copies an item, he wouldn't feel proud of it! So, friends out there, never PLAGIARISE!!!!!!!!!!
