Be careful

Hey everybody,
I just want to give you a warning before tomorrow's presentations.
I've already found that a few students have plagiarized.
If you take material from the internet you need to tell me where you got it from.
See the citation on the previous post!!
I don't want to worry you but I don't want to fail anyone.
Good luck and see you tomorrow!

Citations

Here is an example of a citation. If you took material from the Internet you need to cite it.
This means you neet to write the title of the article, author as well as the date it taken from the internet.
World Wide Web
Peter Limb, "Relationships between Labour & African Nationalist/Liberation Movements in Southern Africa," [http://neal. ctstateu.edu/history/world_history/archives/limb-l.html], May 1992.

Speaking Midterm (Trip to Seoul)

Hey guys,
Here are some tips for the speaking midterm. Make sure you change up the grammar tense.
You can use:
-past (went)
-future (will go/going to go)
-conditional ( would)
-should (advice) should arrive, shouldn't be a problem
-reported speech (said/told) The man at the counter told us to...He said, it's the best thing to see in Seoul.
Try to at least use each of these if you can.

More help for final

I checked out one of the sites I had given you regarding WH questions and it seems the tag questions are incorrect. Here is a site that may help you a bit. We will be going over these questions this week.

PLAGIARISM: DO NOT COPY MATERIAL FROM THE INTERNET. YOU CAN GET INFORMATION FROM VARIOUS SITES IF YOU SITE IT PROPERLY. HOWEVER YOU STILL MUST WRITE IN YOUR OWN WORDS.
PLAGIARIZING WILL RESULT IN FAILURE!!!
