Can anybody help plz? 10 points?

Hello everyone! I have to do controlled assesment for Home Economic GCSE and the issue that I decided to look at is : food wastage in Northern Ireland. In part(a) I have to epxlain why I have chosen this issue. So no doubt here. I experience the doubt with part (b). That is what student guide telling me: "Youn now need to research your chosen issue using a wide range of sources of information. These could include: internet, book, leaflets, brochures, dvds etc. Then it says "You must reference all of the sources that you use in your work as you go along and in a bibliography. An example of reference might be "Calcium helps to form bones and teeth and is one of the most important minerals" (Examining Food and Nutrition, Ridgewell). Here I have a problem. This part allows maximum 1000 words, so what do i have to do? Do I have to talk about the issue in my own words and then use the information such as "It says a family throws throws away an avergae of £15.70 worth of food every month" (British paper The Telegraph). This clearly shows that families not only throwing away food but also their money. I have to do it that way? Because if i include all the quotations from the websites, i will not have enough space explaining it all in my own words as it 1000 maximum.... Or do I have to write an essay of 1000 words, in my own words, and then write on the other page the quotes and sources??? I asked my classmates and they all saying different things. plz help

1. If that was me I'd my essay, my point of view including around ten quotes and then do another page with the sources you used from newspapers to website links.
