Nowadays, English speaks in everywhere which is the commonest language in the world. I speak Arabic language which makes me proud of myself because the Holly Quran (a book that Muslims read for their religion) written with Arabic language by the God. Many people around the world are trying to read it, but it's hard for them to understand it correctly. It has many rules such as grammar and the way of writing. When I write a paragraph in my language, I begin from the right to the left. Therefore, it was difficult to write English from the left to the right. I also can repeat the subject more than once, but in English, there is no need to write the same subject again and again. My weaknesses with English are conjunctions and how to organize my writing. Personally, I think E106 is helping me to improve my writing.
I believe that students need to be serious with plagiarism because it's the most serious problem for them to learn. On the other words, learning plagiarism is so difficult that we can't go away from it. I would say my most difficult thing with plagiarism is citation and paraphrase. First, when I was in my country, I write references at the end. Therefore, I couldn't understand citation in the beginning of the class. Then I get more and more the meaning of that. The other point is paraphrase which I have a hard time with it. In my opinion, I think that Culture plays a very important role with plagiarism. Each country has its rules for plagiarism, so in my country it is illegal to plagiarize. Taking information from others sometimes helps us to write a good an essay, but that becomes nicer by putting references in the last page.
