Quotation

Quotation is quote or takes someone’s idea or opinion that is famous and well knows. Commonly, we quote someone’s idea of book, newspaper, journal article, magazine, etc. There are two kinds of quote, direct quote and indirect quote. In direct quote, you should write it as same as the author write in his book by putting the quotation mark (“…”).  The second one is indirect quote. In indirect quote, we have to re-write someone’s idea with our own words, it is mean paraphrase. If you take someone’s idea purely, you do a plagiarism, this is a serious crime.

I will give you an example of direct quote and indirect quote.

1.      Direct quote:

“Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM) can be used to teach new vocabulary. Learners will classify their new words when they see the pictures, then building the concepts that will enable them to make a sense of words they have not seen before. They will develop word families and learn that the generalizations they make will enable them to unlock about 70 percent of new words they encounter.”

2.      Indirect quote:

Students will classify their new word when they look at the picture, then they will try to make a sense of the new words they never seen before.
