How to Prevent Cheating
It is obviously depicted in the cartoon given above that there are two teachers who discussing the problems caused by the exam cheating.In fact, no one can deny that the students, especially the undergraduates, cheat in the exams, even in the undergraduate thesis. This results in many problems.
First, cheating will lead to an unfair competition, which will prevent the students from studying hard. They will think that the grades are gained so easily that they need not spending much time in learning. Second, cheating will endanger the students in the long run, for without learning students will learn little things in the college and they are not able to meet the need of the society after they take up a job. Third, cheating will pose a great threat to our society, because it is a kind of loss of good faith and definitely will slow down the progress of our society.
Therefore, we should take effective measures as soon as possible to prevent cheating. On the one hand, the students should be educated to realize the danger of cheating in the exams or even in the undergraduate thesis. On the other hand, strict punishment should be put into use. (180 words)

如何防止作弊
很明显，上面这幅图描绘了两个老师正在探讨考试作弊带来的问题。实际上，没有人能否认学生们于考场作弊，甚至在毕业论文中抄袭，尤其是本科生。这产生了很多问题。
首先，作弊将导致不公平的竞争，这将使学生不再下功夫学习。他们会认为，得分是一件轻而易举的事，因此他们无需花费时间学习。其次，从长远看来，作弊会使学生陷入危机，因为学生在大学里不学无术，工作后就无法满足社会需求。第三，作弊会对社会造成巨大的威胁，因为这是一种道德的沦丧，势必会减缓社会前进的脚步。
因此，我们应尽早采取有效措施来防止作弊。一方面，应该教导学生，使他们意识到考试作弊或毕业论文抄袭的危险性。另一方面，应对作弊行为施以严惩。
