One of unluckiest people I know is my uncle, jack. He has never won the lottery and
he
e.g. A
didn’t promote even though he worked at the same company for 6 year. In fact, he
had an accident in his first day at work. He was scared that he could lost his job.
Last month he books a holiday to Spain and lost his flight because he got confused
about the flight times! When he has a little good lucky, it goes usually wrong. One
day, after he found $50 note on the pavement. He put it in his wallet but then he
lost it the wallet! another time, he was in a race, and he was gonna win, but then
he got exhausted at the end, and another runner passed him. The best think about
uncle Jack, though, is that hes a really happy person and he's very proud his family.
What he makes a great!
Understanding Plagiarism: What It Is and How to Avoid It
Plagiarism is a serious issue that every student should be aware of as they embark on their
academic journey. Plagiarism occurs when someone uses another person's work, ideas, or
words without giving them proper credit. It's like taking someone else's hard work and
presenting it as your own.
Examples of Plagiarism:
Direct Copying: Imagine you find an interesting article online and copy and paste its
paragraphs into your essay without citing the source. This is plagiarism because you're using
someone else's words without acknowledging them.
Changing a Few Words: You come across a book on your topic and rewrite a few sentences
from it, thinking it's enough to avoid plagiarism. However, if you don't properly credit the
original author, this is still considered plagiarism.
No Citation: You have a brilliant idea you read in a research paper. If you include this idea
in your work without citing the source, it's plagiarism, even if you rephrase it in your own
words.
How to Avoid Plagiarism:
Cite Your Sources: Whenever you use someone else's work,

ideas, or even opinions, make sure to cite them properly. This
includes using quotation marks for direct quotes and
providing a reference for paraphrased information.
Example for a paraphrased information:
According to Smith (2019), climate change is a pressing
global issue.
Use Quotation Marks: When using someone else's exact words, use them in quotation marks
to clearly indicate that these words belong to someone else. e.g. "To be or not
to be, that is the question" (Shakespeare, Hamlet).
Paraphrase and Summarize: Instead of copying, practice paraphrasing –
expressing someone else's idea in your own words. Summarizing is also a great
way to condense a larger piece of text into a shorter version. e.g. (Paraphrasing): Original -
"Regular exercise is beneficial for overall health." Paraphrased - Engaging in physical activity
contributes positively to one's general well-being. e.g. (Summarizing): Original - A study
found that chocolate consumption can lower the risk of heart disease, improve mood, and
enhance cognitive function. Summarized - Research indicates that consuming chocolate has
multiple health benefits, including cardiovascular risk reduction, mood enhancement, and
cognitive improvement.
Include a Reference List: At the end of your work, include a list of all the sources you used.
This helps your readers locate the original sources and validates your research. e.g. Smith, J.
(2019). The Impact of Climate Change. Environmental Studies Journal, 15(3), 45-62.
