考试作弊(cheating on exams)

　　with the development of the society, people pay more and more attention to education. as a result, thousands of students take part in various examinations.

　　however, some students have been found cheating on their exams. some of them copy from each others, some took out their textbooks or reference books to copy, some copied from small pieces of paper on which they had prepared for the exam, still some used the modern communication tools such as bp, mobile phone as a way to cheat on exams.

　　then, what’s the effect of cheating on exam? there are three factors for this. first, it results in an unfair competition and will destroy the creativity of those bright students. second, it will ruin the students’ self-confidence in the long run. third, under that kind of circumstances, the students graduated from the schools will not be the one who can meet the need of the society.

　　however, how to stop cheating on exam? in my opinion, there are two ways we can adopt. first, a severe punishment should be put into effect to prevent students from cheating. second, great effort should be made to make students understand what kind of person the society needs and try to improve their self-confidence.
