Esl mini-web assesment assignment;evaluating sources on the internet

My topic is based on a very common but really important issue that is drinking and driving .The sites which i visited :
1)www.cbc.ca/canada/new-brunswick/story/2007/03/23/nb-victimimpact.html - 35k
2)www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk/campaigns/drinkdrive/drinkdrive.htm - 31k and etc.
The site which i picked:
www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/DrinkingAndDriving.html - 34k
This site is run by :
Prof. David J. Hanson, Ph.D.
The information is wrote by:
Prof.David J.Hanson, Ph.D.
The main source of information is that Prof. David want to share the resultant of alcohol and its symptoms to make people aware while they are driving.
Current Date :
23 mar 07
There is researched basis for the information.
The main purpose of the site is that people should avoid drinking while they are driving because it is dangerous for their life and perhaps for the other's life as well .
The thing which make me cautious about this website is its way of explaining how drinking is not good and the way they had put light to the solutions towards its which make be impressed about the intelligence of the Prof.Hanson.
There were not any site privacy policy which i visited.
The information which i am going to share with you which is good for me and you that we should not say or argue about drinking and driving but we should stand by on this thing that we should try are best to control on our self that we don't drink so much that we are not in our scences and play with our life and others

What is Plagiarism?

'Plagiarism' is a term of using other's ideas and words without clearly acknowledging the source of that information. We can also decribe it as thoughts of another person and the representation of them as one's own original work. It is a form of fraud or cheat .Because if you plagiarize you are presenting other words, thougts as you are cheating with yourself and with the person to whom you are presenting your opinions.
However, we can say that we should avoid it as they are not yours opinion, facts ideas, thoughts expressions and your theory.Thats why it is not considered good and alots of students lose their credits because it is immidiately reconized by teachers there is an example which is a way to reconize the plagiarism that if you are a student of grade 5 and you are given some work to do and from the internet usually you plagiarize it without looking that what words are used in that sentences and what it means so you are in trouble as your teacher knows that you have done copy and paste so they lose marks .It is related also with the senior class students.Thus it can be embarrasing as we don't know the meanings and don't have that information which we are supposed to given in the required information.Before ending my paragraph i would suggest to all students don't over use this plagiarism and use it as information but not as yours ideas.

How do you feels about essay?

Essay is a word of french which means 'try'.It is away of expressing your presonal thougts and ideas or we can say that by writting essay we presents our opinion about any topic.There are some things which i dont like about essay it dosen,t mean that i hate essay .The difficulties in writting essays which i mostly feels is whether i am using the same sentences ,words again and again in each paragraphs perhaps through this i am afraid of losings marks .The things which i am looking towards my essay is to improve more and more so i don,t ever lose my marks but score .
Therefore, i am doing much hardwork than before and the good thing is that my esl teachers taught us how to write essay and how we can gain marks instead of losing marks.This is a great help to me and also for the students i am hopely tring my level best that i don,t to mistakes and don,t repeat the sentences or words in the paragraph as it gives a bad image to the person who is reading or listening it as it low the value of your essay and felt boring of doing this.So now i feel i can be good with writing essay by following my teachers instructions and don't do silly mistakes.
