VIP Class Notes (Vicki)

Needs more review

Today LI and me talked about a movie named bad genius, then he asked me two questions about cheating on an exam. After some thoughts, I think the two questions can be combined into “Do you agree with cheating on an exam”. I can’t accept cheating on an exam. For example, in China there are million of students to join Gaokao every year, most of the students work hard and they spend a lot of time to practice exercise for the exam, it is not fair for the cheaters to get good grades because they did not work hard for it and they will occupy offers that are meant for other students. but you get a good grades for noting, you will occupy a offer, I think it’s unfair for other students. As a student, if you can get good grades in an exam, may be you will enter a prestigious university. However, compared with good grades, to be an honest person is more important for me, because I think honesty is a very important quality.
