HELP!
 
well, I didn�t understand this rule very well becuase it says that you can use text from books with exercices that you have created but after that it seems that says don�t use it, so I am without understand. Please, can someone Clarify my mind?


You can use texts from other websites or books in your worksheets if you add your own exercises or activities (For example, reading comprehension questions, etc). Please don �t take texts from other ESL websites or books, it would be unfair.


It is unfair according to rule so can�t I use? Most of the text are from Esl books!!!!!

NO you can �t use text that are from esl websites or books.  for example you can use a text from wikipedia.  you cant  use a text from wikipedia and paste it into a document if you do not add any exercises

You can use any books which are not ESL, Flora. For example,  poetry, books about history or science, you can use magazines or newspapers articles if you add your own work...( same with websites)
Hope this helps ;o)

Flora 1 is right.
There �s some kind of contradiction.
Just a question:
If the text taken from wikipedia is already used in a esl book, can we use it ?
Thanks in advance.
