Writer’s text:

Hayes and Flower (1980) propose that writing is comprised of three major processes: planning, translating and reviewing. 

Writer’s comment:

 The original text is that ‘we propose that writing consists of three major processes; planning, translating and reviewing’. And I paraphrased it in to ‘Haze and Flower 1980 proposed that writing is comprised of three major processes; planning, translating and reviewing.’..It is not an argument, it is more like an introduction and I was told by a professor before that quotation is only necessary when you want to cite someone’s argument;
