A Boom in Continuing Education

From the graph, we can learn the number of continuing education participants has kept increasing from 2002 to 2008 in X city. In 2002 there were only 20 thousand people taking part in the continuing education, but in 2004 the number grew to 70 thousand, and in 2006 150, and by 2008, the number has reached 230 thousand. It can be seen easily that continuing education is gaining more and more popularity。

The following reasons are responsible for this boom in continuing education. Firstly, during the work many people begin to realize what they have learned in schools is far from enough. So they turn to continuing education to gain more knowledge and skills. Moreover, as the science and technology in China are developing very fast, adults after graduation have to refresh themselves. In addition, in modern society, those without bachelor’s degrees or above are less competitive。

As far as I am concerned, the boom in continuing education is a necessity. It provides those on-the-job people with chances to get advanced degrees and gain more knowledge. As our society develops, more and more people will receive continuing education in the future。

How to Deal with Cheating?

Many students tend to cheat in the exams. Some will copy the answers from their books. Some will talk with each other to share the right answers. Besides， some even write down the information on their skin. There are several causes leading to cheating. Some students want to get high scores without efforts. Secondly， some are under great pressure and they fear to fail the exams. Once the students are found cheating， the teachers should punish them severely and explain the harm of cheating to them. There are at least two ways to eliminate cheating. On the one hand， we should explain the harm of cheating to our students. On the other hand， strict measures should be taken against cheating. As a result， the fair play in the exams can be achieved and students can pay attention to study instead of cheating
