Hi :) Today's post is about Paraphrasing, Summarizing, and Quoting. Paraphrasing, summarizing, and quoting are effective when we use someone's ideas in academic writing. We must not plagiarize when we use them.
Paraphrasing means that to say the idea in other words which is easy for readers to understand. We can use it to use synonym, to change word form, and to change word order.
Summarizing means that to sum up the main idea briefly to use our own words. We can use it to put in main idea and to include details pertinently.
Quoting means that to introduce someone's idea to support my idea. We can use it when we cite someone's idea by using quotation marks.
These are links about paraphrasing, summarizing, and quoting. :)

Truth and Lies
Hi. Today I would like to write about my experience of a lie. Have you ever been told a lie?? I think everyone answers ''yes''.
About two years ago, a certain boy told me that I love you. I was at a loss whether to associate with him or not, so I consulted with my friend about him. My friend said that he is a really really good boy, and it is good to associate with him because he is a kind boy and he is hard to deal with girls. It means that it is unnecessary to be a jealous boyfriend. That's why I decided to associate with him.
It had been ten months, I broke up with him, so I told my friend the fact. My friend said that he is not a good boy to associate with because he is a good boy but he likes girls. I didn't know that so I was surprised at the fact. My friend is my previous boy friend's friend, so he told a lie. I think that it is habitual in Japan. My friend is important for me and it isn't a malicious deception so I didn't think that he is a liar and his action is betrayal, although my friend concealed the fact. Also I didn't confront him because it might be my delusion.
Actually I had enjoyed staying with him, so I remember this fact as one of my pleasant experiences of my life.
