  else so require an active listening
• careful reading

What to Keep What to Change

• Keep the exact meaning (as closely as
  possible)
• Change the way the meaning is expressed
  (including grammatical structures rearrange the
  sequences of information, use different
  wordsexcept for scientific terms, and use your
  own style).

4
To Avoid Plagiarism

• Plagiarism if you consult reference sources for
  information and copy the material without proper
  documentation, its a serious offense (yes, even
  for published material).
• So, always acknowledge your sources (called
  documentation).

5
Quotation

• Use quotation marks when you wish to emphasize
  exactly what the speaker/writer said (also need
  to document it) otherwise, you can usually
  express ideas more clearly and effectively in
  your own words (also to make consistency in
  style).
