I´m very sad.

Hello, everybody.
I�ve been teaching English since 1994. I produce my own materials to work with my students. I don�t have a book to follow. I use textbooks produced by me.
Yesterday I uploaded one poem "Reasons why I love you" and somebody said it was stolen from a site and I gotta say it was not.
This poem I got from a Brazilian book whose author is Amadeu Marques and the writer of the poem is UNKNOWN.
I have this poem in the textbook I have created to work.
I have visited many sites and seen things from many Brazilian authors online.
I always read, check and prepare material which are not stolen.
My only mistake was to forget to put in the end of the printable: Unknown Author
Sorry for getting things off my chest.
Cassy

Have you deleted the poem? I did not find it. What I found out is that you are very creative and often acknowledge your sources. Cheer up! You are a valuable member of this site and we all need your useful contributions. |

I couldn�t find it either. But I have found this one:
What�s your opinion about it?

I found lots and lots of �Reasons to love you� in the web. 10, 20, 21, 30, 101 and even 365 reasons but I did not find this one. I prefer gaps that are simple lines. These little squares look like on-line exercises - �look�, I did not say they are! But it�s 1 AM and almost 30 degrees! I need no more reasons for staying awake. |

No, Anna. I didn�t delete it. It was deleted.
Unfortunately.
Hi, Damielle. I clicked on this link and this one is from the internet, you can see the gaps like they are presented on the internet.
If the members agree, I can upload it again.
I need your permission and Victor�s too.
Thanks a lot for your support, Anna.

 Hi Cassy! I�m so sorry that you had to go through this embarrassing situation just because you forgot to write the source. I wish that person who reported your work as stolen would have given you the chance to correct the mistake by sending you a private message. That would have been the most sensible thing to do with a member that we all know and appreciate her work.
You don�t need our agreement to upload oit again! You just have to add the source: In, title of the book, Amadeu Marques ....
Please don�t feel bad anymore! This is something that can happen to the best of the contributors!!!
Have a nice day!
Hugs,
mena
