PARAGRAPH Pretzels A pretzel is a salted, glazed biscuit that is often shaped or twisted like a knot. The first pretzels were made in an Italian monastery in 610 A.D. These twisted strips of bread were originally called pretiola
. Which means :”little reward” in Latin. They were given as treats to local children. The pretzel rapidly became popular throughout Europe.

However, sometimes you might want to borrow someone else’s words. When you use another person’s words, you must let the reader know that they are not yours. In English, you do this by putting the borrowed words in quotation marks. For example, if you use a definition that is taken from another source, such as a dictionary, put the definition inside quotation marks. Look at the second sentence of Paragraph 1 “Gumbo”, and the first sentence of Paragraph 2 “Gossip”. Both of these sentences include words in quotation marks.

(Remember that commas, periods, and question marks go inside close quotation marks.) Number 1 and 6 have been done for you. Download 1.17 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
