On 24/2/2020, my class has been given an individual assignment by Dr.Wong which required all of us to utilize the knowledge of referencing and citing that has been lectured by Dr.Wong during the previous class. The individual assignment is the writing of 1500 essay on the selected current issue that needs to have citations and references of journals, articles, websites and other sources. Along the process of writing, I have read a lot of academic articles to help me to lengthen my essay about the current issue that I have to write about which is about fake news. There are a lot of ideas and opinions by some academic scholars about the fake news that I have never read before which makes me feel that there are many more things I do not know. And also, when doing this task, it helps me sharpen my ability in doing some reference and citation about other peoples' ideas. Other than that, it also helps me improve my vocabulary in English and my ability to write more in English because I need to know various synonyms for words in other to avoid the act of plagiarism and to attract people to have more interest to read my essay by not repeating same words and use some vogue words in my essay. That's all I have to say about the task in this reflection. Overall, although a bit, I still gain some knowledge from the given individual assignment.
