Read the following passage and write the letter A, B, C or D on the top of the first page to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The incredible growth of the Internet over recent years has caused problems for parents and
teachers. Parents worry about which sites their children spend time on, who they chat to online and
the possible effects that computer games might have on them. For teachers, meanwhile, the main
worry is the way the Internet makes cheating easier!
Schools and universities say there has been a huge increase in plagiarism – taking other
people’s words and ideas and pretending that they are your own. In the past, anyone who wanted to
copy had to go to a library, find the right books, read through them, find the sections they needed
and then physically write down the words they wanted to use. Nowadays, though, students can
simply copy extracts from websites- while really desperate students sometimes copy whole essays!
As if this wasn‟t bad enough, sites offering to actually do homework – at a price – have also started
appearing.
Despite all this, we shouldn‟t assume that the Internet only brings problems. Indeed, you could say
that for every problem the Internet creates, it also brings a solution. Parents can now use
sophisticated controls to stop kids accessing sites that might do them harm, while new software
helps teachers to detect copied work immediately. Many, of course, are already able to recognize
when someone is cheating! “Some students suddenly start using words they can’t possibly
understand like “dialectical antagonism”, ‟ explains one teacher”, “or parts of their essays feel
different.”
One of the hardest things for teachers today is deciding how to mix modern technology with
traditional study skills – and how best to use the Web in class. As more and more schools install
computers in every classroom, the role of the teacher is changing. Making sure students don’t just
copy things and do learn how to quote copied work properly is part of their job, but so is designing
suitable projects to fully exploit the Web in helping students students learn about subjects and
develop their life and social skills.
