    Exam cheats
    More students are cheating. How?
    Do you cheat in exams?
    Last year in the UK, teachers found 4,400 school students who cheated in exams.
    In 2009, more students cheated than in 2008. Why do more students cheat now?
    Students have got mobile phones and MP3 players. Now, you can use your phone to go on the
    Internet. If a student wants to cheat, they can try to bring their phone or MP3 player into the exam
    and listen to answers.
    Of course, you mustn’t take mobile phones into exams: “You have to put all your things in a clear
    bag and leave your phone at the front,” says Daisy, a school girl from London, “…but you can hide
    a phone if you try.”
    Only a few students cheat. Most students do not cheat. Cheating only happens in 0.03% of exams.

    Speaking
    Why do some people cheat in exams?
    What do you think of cheating?
    What do you do when you see somebody cheating in an exam?
    Have you ever cheated?

    Discussion
    Student A: You are a student.
    Student B: You are a teacher.
    Discuss cheating for two (or three?) minutes.

    Writing
    You are a teacher. You caught Jerry Thomas, one of your students, getting answers on his mobile phone.
    Write a letter to the parents. Explain the situation and make a suggestion (or two?) on how to end this
    behavior. Use 90 to 110 words.
