What I learnt today in Marina's lesson.

Orginality is key. It's as simple as that. If someone wanted to read an essay copied and pasted from the internet than I'm sure they would of looked at the original source. 

Of course we can pull ideas from articles and sources but you need to put it in your own words otherwise it can be taken as plagiarism, which could get you in a lot of trouble. 

So Marina taught me today that the work I hand into her or any other teacher in fact, should be my own or my take of an article, blurb etc and who knows my work could be better that the original.
