  1. Maria,

    Overall this is a good summary and mainly explains the general idea of the article, although you don't include why Talk Talk is doing this. Also, your key words are limited and would not provide enough information to look back on and create a summary.

    Also, while your definitions are good, you clearly copied some example sentences (ex: intervene) because you have the same sentence as Justin. Be aware- this is plagiarism and not accepted in university.
