Copies or not?
|
|
I would like to clarify one of my doubts about worksheets uploaded here. If I change the name of the characters or if I take a line from a text I take from a book, will it make the text "original" or "mine"? Or if I don �t indicate the source, will it be OK to be here with all these texts created by teachers? (because no one copies texts from books!!) I have to confess that I am quite disappointed with this site policies... How many worksheets are here with texts taken from books?! Thanks for reading me... Have a great week! |

Well texts shouldn �t be copied from ESL books. If you use a text from another source you should mention it and you have to create somekind of activity to go with it. If you �re implying that you �ve come across texts from ESL books then you should report them. |

Why not? If I add my own exercises to it? Yes, I have come across with some! People use the text taken from ESL books and then they add some of their own exercises, as I did too. |

Dearest friend!
Hope you �re doing well! As Amalia stated above it �s against the rules. It �s obviously clarified in the instructions :
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.
Hope you get the point now.
Wish you all the best.
