Speaker A
Well, to be honest I don’t like cheating. I have tried to cheat on a test in French last year. I talked to my friend and we decided to write the vocabulary words for the test on the palms of our hands. Of course, this was a simple way to cheat. I think everybody has done it once. The test started alright. But then the teacher noticed something. She didn’t do anything at first. But when I tried to look up a word again, she came up to me and saw that I was cheating. I was given a zero. I haven’t cheated since then.

Speaker B
I may sound rude, sorry, but I’ll say that. Students cheat because they’re stupid and they didn’t do the classwork and homework to learn what they need to know for the test. At the same time they want to get good results. But they don’t want to do anything for that. Cheating is a sign of lazy students. I know some teenagers who cheat because they say they have other important things to do. Like, going to parties and discos, hanging out with friends and so on. They say they have no time for homework, that’s why they cheat on tests.

Speaker C
I think I’m an expert on cheating. I don’t cheat myself, I’ve never done it. I just like studying the ways students cheat. The easiest way is to write the answers on the desk, on your hand or in an open notebook. I know students who try to sit behind someone who will pass the test successfully. However, some students are more creative. They work with their classmates and make systems of signs. They use fingers to give the answers. They agree what sign will mean that the answer is A, B, C and so on. It’s like a real code language.

Speaker D
I can say in a way in my school teachers pay no attention to cheating. In a way. During tests they don’t walk along the desks watching us. They say that if you’re cheating, you’re lying to yourself. And I totally agree. If you choose to cheat and not to learn, it’s your decision. You should be ready to answer for your actions. To me, honesty is the best policy, I hate lies. Anyway, truth will always come out in the end. Others will see that you’ve lied.

Speaker E
My school is very strict about cheating. Some of my teachers hand out a different test or quiz to every person in class. There, all the questions are different or they are all mixed in each test. If it is end of the term test, we put our bags and everything at the front of the room. We can’t use any electronic devices at all. All our mobile phones stay in bags. Then each of us takes a separate desk, so that there’s no one sitting next to you. And most teachers walk around and watch everyone take the test. If they catch us cheating, they automatically give us a zero.
