Questions of Cheat

  1. In my opinion, some students chose to cheat as a result of they didn't prepared the lessons,tests or assignments and they didn't want to got low grade. I could heard students choose to cheat in tests frequently,especially university entrance exams.For example,I have heard a girl who pass the entrance exams because she choose to cheat,she hired another person to substitute her during the test.I heard it from news.

  2. In my experience,students who cheating on exams or class work were asked to did the exams or class work again or given them zero mark,and expelled from the school for cheat on the exams or class work.Sometimes,if school think their attitudes were bad,when their behaviors were found by others,they may be flunk out school.I think those punishments are a fair decision for all students.

  3. Actually,expelled from the university for “academic dishonesty" is very seriuos for me,because this notes will exist in my files and follow me all my life.And if student who choose a cheat in the which class,then that class's teacher will get him/her a low grade.Maybe school or teacher can force the educate of honest,it is moral lesson,student should know honest is the most important thing whether students have prepared the exams and class work or not.Students should know the consequence when they choose to cheat.

Plagiarism Punishment

In my opinion,I agree with the punishment in those cases.When teacher wants student to hand in an assignment,teacher is want to understand how much student have learned from the lessons and what teacher have teach.So,it is irresponsible for student who doesn't do their assignment and it is dishonest for student who copy other's assignment.It is also illegal for student who plagiarize the assignments.If students don't do the assignment by themselves,then teacher can't know how much they understand the lesson and how much they have learn.Due to the Internet is growing,many and many students stuff the Internet to "finish" their assignments. Through the Internet, people can see other people's essay easily and also can copy them easily.
Therefore,it is unfair for student who do their assignment earnestly and students who copy the assignment is can't learn something during they do their assignment.So,student who copy other's assignment should be punish.

Issue- Have a boyfriend or girlfriend?

I want to talk about an issue as my weekly issues,that is should high school students have a boyfriend/ girlfriend or not.In my opinion,there are some reasons why I disagree that high school students should have a boyfriend/girlfriend.
First,According to today's society is an information explode times,companies always require their employees have high degrees.For high school students,the most important thing for the high school period is they should concentrate their attention on their study and prepare well for the university entrance exam.Second,if high school student have a boyfriend/girlfriend,they might spent more money and increase the economical pressure to their family.Third,most university students will leave their country to study the university, the time they get along with their family will reduce.If they have a boyfriend/girlfriend in high school time,they might want to go outside frequently and get along with their lover every moment,then their time to get along with their family will less than students who don't have boyfriend/girlfriend. The time to get along with family is very valuable.To summarize,high school students should do their best to study and cherish the time to get along with thier family.

Writing class

In this semester,our writing class teacher asked us to write a composition almost every week and every time just try to write one paragraph,about 8-12 sentences.If we didn't do well on our assignment or lazy for it,she will angry and tell us that we should not be lazy and should do our best to do the assignment. She even tell us the impotence of honest and students shouldn't cheat on their assignments.However,I learned much writing skills from her and she always encourage us in many sides.She also teach us the way to practice a language,not only English but also other languages and she tell her experience to us.Finally,she is a nice teacher and maybe I can improve my writing step by step.

Matilda


After we have finished the children novel "Matilda",we saw the movie "Matilda" in today's English children literature.
The girl who in the character of Matilda was very cute,and Miss honey was very elegant,I like them so much.
The plot has something different between movie and book,for example,the movie add the plot of Matilda and Miss Honey entered Miss Trunchbull 's house without permission.It was illegal and they might lost their life by this behavior.Miss Honey have lived here in her childhood,because Miss Trunchbull was her aunt and they wanted to took back Miss Honey's doll.
In addition, Miss Truncubull was very similar to the image which described in the novel.
And Mr.Wormwood and Wrs.Wormwood has something different between movie and novel.Mrs.Wormwood was a fat woman and Mr.Wormwood was thin,but Mr.Wormwood and Mrs.Wormwood' s image was opposite in the movie.
Finally,if I could have a child like Matilda, it must be a good thing. She is a genius,she is good at math.She is a considerate girl,she never show off and very independent.She can take care herself well,so I don't have to worry much about her.And her morality is very well,for example,she know people should be honest and should be justice and she just a elementary student of first grade.No wonder Miss Honey to misunderstand that Matila has good parents who full of wise and upbringing.Matilda is so prefect and I love her so much.I'm glad that she met Miss Honey and Miss Honey adopt her in the final.That is a happy ending.

Fired for plagiarism

There are three examples of people who fired for plagiarism.
  1. A professor who was fired by university because of they think she was plagiarized the work of two former students and a former colleague.

  2. A CBS news Procter was sued to his essay was copy from The Wall Street Journal.
  3. A reporter of DT columnist was fired for plagiarism.
In my opinion,there are too many examples 0f plagiarism that I can hear or see frequently in daily life.For example,according to the Internet is more common than before,people can post their own essays in their own blog and other people can read their essays through the Internet.So,the percentage of plagiarism is raising,people can copy other's essays easily.However, government found a law,Intellectual Property Rights,to stop and prevent from those situations happen again,including to protect the writers and people can't copy other people's essays etc. This law let people know that plagiarism is a illegal thing and it is wrong,and can't be forgive.People should responsible for their behaviors when they copy other's ideals.However,sometimes,people try to legal when they want copy other's essay, they may change some words when they post their own essay.One of those three examples I list,was copy other's essay,and the most important is he almost copy every word,it is terrible and can't be forgive.He is not only copy other's ideal but also steal other's painstaking effort. In addition,a procter who claim that her case of plagiarism is a racial discrimination,but the fact is she really copy others' work,she should responsible for it.Therefore,people should not steal other ideals even you have change some words.

Surprise

There was a very special thing happened this afternoon,our writing class teacher invited us to Yummy cafe,and we could attended today's course in English corner.It was very suprised to me and this was my first enter Yummy cafe.I think it is a silent palce and has good environment for customers to enjoy their meals.
However,the teacher of today's English corner was misunderstanding the schedule of this stemster,so he was not arrived on time,and I cheated with my classmates(Kennis,Rita,Ching)during the time to wait him.
Actually,this was not we first to met Tim,he was our new teacher,and his class was very interested to me.
Then,our todat's teacher,Tim,was arrived and start to taught us how to play today's game.The rule was everyone choice a card and answered the question which on your card to other people,there were many kind of questins,for example,my question was"What is the most exciting thing to you",and Rita's question was"think three different things between man and woman".In my poinion,I think it was a nice game for us,because we could shared our experience to other people and also could learned opinions form other people.Finally,I feel a little regret due to today's class was too short,and I have a happy time during today's class.I think English corner give me a good opportunity that I could experience other teacher's teaching and even I have seen him before,it still was a precious experience to me.
