The author will talk talks about that cheating is alive and flourishing in this unit.
At the beginning, the author compares the scholastic cheating with American eating patterns. Actually, I believe the over-weight person really wants to lose his weight but he can not help himself to eating when he sees the food which he loves. He does not do something as what he said.
There is an interesting sentence in the paragraph 2, which is “cheating is not a big problem at their schools”. The author can write this article because cheating is serious in his mind. Why he says like that?
As a student, cheating is usual in schools, no matter elementary school or high school even college. This situation is so common for us in schools. So we don not think it’s a big problem. The author says as what we think.
There is a long sentence which has one subject with three objects in the paragraph 3. The author uses three objects for emphasize a picture of cheating from teachers’ information which is different from students’. Schools have several methods to cut down the opportunity to cheat such as open-book exams. In my opinion, however, the students still cheat when they have exams even if open-book exams. Because it has became a kind of dependence in their psychology. It must be dealt with in the home from childhood.
Sometimes, our pressure from our parents’ expectation for us. And we don not want disappointing them. This leads to we must use varies methods to satisfying them including cheating. Obviously we use the wrong way for that. They get outraged when we knew we have cheated in the exam, but they would not think about why we did that.
Esteem refers to “a feeling of respect for someone, or a good opinion of some”. That meaning you are respect by others maybe because you are famous or have high social position or have high achievement. And self-esteem is “the feeling of being satisfied with your own abilities, and that you deserve to be liked or respected”. Even if you have not obvious special aptitude, you should esteem for yourself. The cheating is a kind of self-deceit. But doing something has its own purpose including cheating of course. Every student wants to get a high score, and the cheating is the directest way for that.
According to the survey from college students, the best common way in the process of cheating is taking crib sheets into the place of take examination. The crib sheet is a piece of paper on which a list of answers of information used dishonesty by a student during a examination. It is a ordinary way in nowadays. The Internet is popularer and popularer more and more popular and the computer ability of student is improving day and day. They can break into the college Internet to alter their grades. It is more difficulty to find that who did it than before.
