I am Accused of Plagiarism ?
So here's the sitch, my anonymous English (grammar) teacher gave me an assignment; 300+ word discussion text.
Like any diligent student, i gave my all...
I managed to hand it over one week earlier !
And what did i get ?? VILIFICATION !
My smartass teacher rejected my assignment* thinking that i had copied it from the internet !WHAT ! I typed that thing till 3 A.M and you won't accept it ?? But i didn't gave up easily, I demand a reason...
Teacher: I'm sorry this is just too perfect for a highschool student. (Thanks for the compliment though)
Me : But, Sir. I did wrote it by myself.
Teacher: No, this is not your words. I know. I can tell the difference.
Me : Is this because of all the complicated terms ? Because I did search for them in the dictionary. But there's nothing wrong with that. Those are really my own words.
Teacher: Your words is like the word of a native, even a professor still sounds Indonesian when they write.
Me : I'm not lying.
Teacher: How should I convince you ? There's no mistake in your discussion text. The grammar is perfect. If I have to score this, I'd give you 1000% (O_O')
Long story short, i agreed to write ANOTHER TEXT** in order to prove that i really can write with no grammatical errors. I did it within 2 days. When I hand it in, it turns out I made a couple mistakes (clumsy me !) So he didn't believed me (MORE) ! Grrrraaawrr... I became so frustrated, I tear up my paper and threw it into the rubbish bin DX. I'm not asking for your compliments you know, teacher. I know I'm not that perfect yet, so sometimes I make mistakes, but when I finally did it right, WHY WON'T YOU BELIEVE ME ? Does being a student means that you always have mistakes, that you can't be "perfect". And you being a teacher, that makes you a flawless ? Ughh... Since I'm so PO'd I wrote ANOTHER TEXT*** ! I gave it to him a few days ago... I didn't say anything and so did he. Good.
