E Last weeks topic: Whats your opinion about cheating in exams? Willson822(Fujian)isnt enough to prevent anyone from cheating. Who can tell that they wont promise something that goes against their will? So I think the penalty(处罚)is more important. Penalties should be serious enough to prevent people from breaking the oath! Wang Changling(Anhui):The oath itself makes all test-takers think that others may consider them would-be cheaters, which can hurt their feelings. In my opinion, prevention is better than a penalty.
