            Nowadays, studying is the significant issue for individual and country because that is the foundation of a develop country. A good score always is the advantaged in many circumstances such as making a good impress for the first interview or be under pressure of parents, teacher. Therefore, student chose cheating to satisfy those, but besides, forget the real knowledge that they need to learn. There are many reason cause cheating, but majority is the conscious of student. Anyway, no matter what reason cause cheating, it should be criticized and eliminated.

              The very first reason is students are under pressure of getting high points, which is caused by their parents’ expectation and their teachers’ evaluation. Almost parents are putting a huge expectation on their children as schooling is an only way to help them have a better life. It is responsible burden that causes students depend on cheating. In my country, almost student go study with teacher outside school. It means they have to do homework from school, homework of extra study class, this could easily drive students go crazy and don’t have enough time for materials from school. This indirectly lead to cheating.

Secondly, the competition between them and their classmates frequently happening that make them behave morally wrong in their tests. They compete seriously point by point to each other and cheating such as plagiarism and using documents is a common way that helps them escape from being dumb in others’ eyes. People always have a thinking is make self be better than others, that is a good motivation if students understand clearly this purpose. But some students just want to get high score by any cost.

Finally, both of top students and low score students put a huge effort on their studies to get a high score which put them under pressure. When high academic performance students try to maintain their scores, other students having low scores put all their effort on improving their results. This is a common pressure that many students suffer; Therefore, they use cheating as an ideal equipment. Moreover, self-confidence deficits play an important role in causing students try their best to cheat. High score is not only important with their parents’ perspective, but also their teachers and society. When they did not prepare for their test themselves, they feel it safe to have supports from other trustworthy resources like documents and classmates.

Dishonest in testing is very dangerous. This could lead to serious consequences. Once caught cheating, students could probably fail the test, the course, even expelled of school. Then that will be a dirty in transcript. Moreover, as cheating happens frequently, it becomes a bad habit that they could not complete the test without cheating.

Cheating is completely not good. Students sometime just try to focus on how to cheating and not being caught then forget about another easier way to get high score, that is study! We should concern if we too depend on the achievement and ignore the knowledge we could absorb then decide cheating, the result will be meaningless. To eliminated this issue is not easy. The only way to do that is the attempt awareness of each student. Trying not to cheat to have a better education, a better life.
