Speaking Strengths & Weaknesses/ Plagiarism

Causes of Plagiarism
- procrastination
- last resort (when you can't think of anything on your own)
- laziness
- because it's easier to copy & paste as opposed to thinking/writing on your own

Effects of Plagiarism
- major consequences (whether it be with the law, your school, etc)
- self degrading/ ruins reputation
- shortchange of learning

Whether plagiarism is intentional OR accidental, it is still the same. Always be cautious!

My writing weaknesses:
- I have difficulty organizing my main points
- I overthink many prompts & take FOREVER to finally settle on an idea
- I get distracted easily

My writing strengths:
- good vocabulary
- I get my point across
- I put myself in the reader's POV
