Art of Quoting

This article made me understand how to write an essay and other kind of text and how to write quotes. I have never been taught this in school; therefore most of it was interesting and useful for me. The author writes: “Quoting someone else’s words gives a tremendous amount of credibility to your summary and helps ensure that it is fair and accurate”. Actually I have always thought it was better to retell what the author says, but now I know better.

It helped me to know how to present and explain the quotes with the example in the article. It has several of examples that I can and will use in assignments that are coming up.
