Hi, David! Mr. Harper has just asked me if you'd finished your project yet. It was supposed to be handed in yesterday.
I know. I'm just finishing it now.
He wanted to know if we'd done them together. I said no. What's yours on? It took me ages to do mine.
Well, I was really lucky. I found this book all about the population in New Zealand cities.
Is it good?
Yes, it's a great book! I photocopied three chapters. There are some brilliant charts and...
What are you going to do with all that?
Well, now I'm going to copy these pages and these charts and then I'll finish my project!
You're not supposed to just copy the book.
Oh! I think Mr. Harper won't know.
He will know! He asked us to write a list of all the books we'd used. Remember? That's not the point anyway.
What is the point then?
Well, the point is that you're supposed to write your own project--you can't copy someone else's writing.
Er... er... Well, you're right. Thank you for your reminding me of that.
