Read the dialogue and answer the questions below.
Misha: Hi, Mark. You’re just in time. I’ve been waiting for you.
Mark: Hi, Misha. You look really sad. Are you still missing Emily?
Misha: No, not now. I got the result for my report on David Beckham and it’s an F.
Mark: Wow! That’s tough. Why did you get such a bad mark?
Misha: I’m not sure. I found the information about him on the Internet.
Mark: Oh, I think I’m beginning to understand. Could I have a look at your report?
Misha: Sure. Here you are.
Mark: Yes, that’s what I thought: Plagiarism!
Misha: What does that mean?
Mark: That means that you copied the report that somebody else had put on the Internet.
Misha: Yes, I did. But what’s wrong with that? I know that David Beckham is a famous football player, but that’s really all. Where should I get the information about him?
Mark: There are a lot of information sources and you should use as many as possible. Don’t just copy an interesting newspaper article or somebody’s report from the Internet. The Internet is usually a good information source, but the information there is not always 100% reliable. So you have to be very careful and check it with other sources. And another very important thing: if you want to use somebody’s ideas and thoughts in your report, you should always use quotation marks and make a reference to the author.
Misha: Oh, now I understand. Thank you, Mark. Next time I’ll be more careful.
Mark: It’s OK, Misha. And let me tell you another thing. If you need information about David Beckham, look through newspapers and teen magazines.
Misha: Thanks for your advice. But which newspapers and magazines should I buy? I don’t understand anything about the English mass media.
Mark: Don’t worry, Misha. It’s not too difficult. I’ll tell you all about them.
Misha: Thank you, Mark. You’re a good friend.
Mark: Wait! And don’t buy anything. Magazines are expensive! We’ll be able to borrow them from the school library.
Misha: Are they available there?
Mark: Of course!
