| |Cheating |

|Turn in by 9pm to the |Activity 1: Read the text below. |

|platform. | |

| |Everybody cheats. Whether it’s the taxi driver who tricks a visitor and takes them the long way round, or the shop assistant who doesn’t |

| |give the correct change, or the police officer who accepts a bribe – everybody’s at it. Cheats in the news include the scientist whose |

| |research was based on fake data, the game show contestant who collaborated with a friend in the audience to win a million pounds, and the |

| |doctor who forged his qualifications and wasn’t really a doctor at all. Everybody cheats; nobody’s playing the game. Is cheating |

| |acceptable, a natural way of surviving and being successful? Or is it something that should be frowned on, and young people discouraged |

| |from doing? If it’s the latter how can we explain to children why so many bend the rules? |

| | |

| |Take sport for example. The pinnacle of football, the World Cup, was rife with cheating. |

| |Whether diving, pretending to be hurt or denying a handball, footballers will do anything |

| |for a free-kick or a penalty shot. France striker Henry denied cheating to win the freekick which led to his side’s second goal in their |

| |3-1 victory over Spain. Many footballers, however, are often putting it on. Whatever the nationality there’s one common ploy: the player |

| |rolls over holding their leg, ankle or head seeming to be in great pain. As a result a yellow card and/or free-kick is given for the foul |

| |and then, a few seconds later, the player is up and about as if nothing had happened! The ref may be taken in by it but youngsters watching|

| |the game aren’t. They also see their heroes getting away with it. |

| | |

| |It’s not just the footballers. In June 2006 Fifa suspended Greece and its member clubs from International competition. As a result Greek |

| |clubs and officials are banned from European competition, including the Champions League and the EUFA cup. Meanwhile four leading Italian |

|CHEATING |clubs are on trial for match-fixing. If found guilty the clubs could also be banned from European competition. Whatever, football suffers |

| |from unsportsmanship and it sets a bad example to children. |

| | |

| |Of course it’s not just football either. In 1998 the Tour de France, the world’s greatest cycling event, was hit by a drug-taking scandal. |

| |The 40 bottles of doping products found with the Festina team triggered a massive investigation that almost caused the Tour to be |

| |abandoned. One rider, Virenque, was banned for 9 months. He claimed: "You have cheats in sport, just as you do in business - there will |

| |always be people trying to take a short cut. At least we're not turning a blind eye to the problem, which other sports are." |

| | |

| |Cycling certainly does test more than others but whether it’s now cleaner than the ’98 |

| |fiasco remains to be seen. The day before the 2006 Tour started 13 riders were withdrawn by their teams under suspicion of doping. A |

| |climate of mistrust surrounds everyone and anyone connected with the sport. |

| | |

| |Is it all inevitable? There’s tremendous pressure on all athletes to perform for their fans |

| |and for their sponsors. It’s success, money and power that rule professional sport rather than an honest attempt to do the best one can. |

| | |

| |As for business, Virenque certainly has a point. The former bosses of Enron were |

| |convicted on fraud charges following one of the most infamous scandals in corporate history. Enron, which was America’s seventh-largest |

| |company, collapsed in 2001 causing thousands of people to lose their jobs and life savings. They had fooled investors into believing the |

| |company was healthier than it really was. One boss now faces the rest of his life in prison. |

| | |

| |Meanwhile companies around the world are losing billions of dollars to the counterfeit |

| |trade. From cut-price CDs and DVDs to sportswear and cosmetics, cheap fake products are everywhere. The piracy business has never been so |

| |lucrative for the high street cheat. It has become socially acceptable to buy phoney Gucci bags and illegal copies of films. If parents are|

| |doing this, their children will follow. |

| | |

| |So perhaps it’s not surprising that around the world more pupils than ever are caught |

| |cheating during exams. In one case missing exam papers were put up for sale on the Internet. In another, widespread cheating took place by |

| |pupils using their mobile phones to receive texted answers. In a third case pupils admitted to candidate substitution. They blame the |

| |pressure put on them to do well in exams. It doesn’t help that their role models are also cheats. Surely we can’t complain when we’re |

| |setting such a bad example? |

| | |

| |Activity 2: Read and write the statements below. Do you agree or disagree with these statements from the reading? Why or why not? |

| |Everybody cheats. |

| |It’s success, money and power that rule professional sport. |

| |It has become socially acceptable to buy illegal copies of films. |

| |It’s not surprising that pupils cheat when taking exams. |

| | |

| |Activity 3: Write a letter (70-80 words) to a sports magazine. Depending on your view you can either complain because so many sportsmen and|

| |women cheat nowadays, or stand up |

| |against the criticisms made in the reading about cheating in sport. Respect the format displayed below. |
