Crazy ideas to help you master English easier and faster.
But first, click the button below, go over to the blog, and tell me what you think about cheating.
And we’ll continue this tomorrow!
I think the cheating is bad in all time and all situation.
😅😜
As a child I lied or cheated my parents ,but in my life I hate to cheat or to be cheated.
No. I don’t have never cheated because I believe it is always unfair and every situation.
Unfair?
Does democracy / a state / every state work legally in every case, fairly in each case?
Yes, unfair but somtimes better than following the so called silly optimism of Candide (see Voltaire).
I don’t like to cheat and I don’t do it, but I love to joke around, pretend I’m serious about something and then it’s fun. 😀
It is a hard feeling to bear when You are cheated
Never, I think it’s ugly and unfair act.
I think Mr Vig’s question is seem to be simple, but not.
What is the difference between cheating and being tricky? Sometimes nothing. Being tricky, finding the holes in the system can save lives. Chetaing is a slippery road.
Sometimes I cheat. I´m fooling myself. I try to be more honest with myself.
I don’t like that. Cheating prevent us to know our real value. But progress little by little is better.
I think every one has cheated to someone some time in live. When we where childs or teenagers, sure we did, less or more, some time we did It. To bad it’s haven’t learned the lesson and continúe to doing as an adult.
I totally disagree with cheating.
I think that sometimes cheating is a necessity. I cheated when I was at university exams.what’s the problem? I had to pass!
Hey, obviously cheating is bad because it is equal to be unfair to someone but sometimes when you don’t want to hurt somebody you may “save” the truth. Or what do you think about cheating yourselves?
Dear Nina,
What you wrote is a bit confusing.
“sometimes when you don’t want to hurt somebody you may “save” the truth” – You can’t save anybody by lying, just makes your consciences calm and this is the time when you cheat yourself.
Hi!
It’s very interesting to read different opinions here
Cheating is wrong. Yes, I also cheated when I was a child, but with small, harmless things. As an adult, I don’t like to cheat, but I don’t like being cheated either.
I found seven meanings of the word cheat. Don´t worry, be happy. You have been cheated? Forgive. Did you cheat, are you cheating, do you want to cheat? Stop it. I can say from my own experience that I was always the only one who paid for it. Good night.
It’s not good to cheat
Iam not good at such things.Nowdays in our country,lyng and cheating are consideredqualities,sad truth
We cheat and lie every day. Everybody. In the morning when we do our makeup. When we don’t tell the truth, we just don’t want to hurt others. Are we cheating if we don’t do something like most of us?
I agree with you.
When I was cheating sometimes, I felt bad about it. It was as if I had cheated myself. I would have liked to stop it, so I admitted my fault to the others. That was the only way to become free.
I don’t like to cheat. If I do it, than I feel bad. To be honest I can’t cheat.
Yes, in my school time sometimes I took a little cheat sheet in my pencil case, for safety. But I didn‘t dare to use it. But knowing it exist helped me and most of the time I could remember what I had written on the cheat sheet.
Otherwise I‘m clearly in favor of honesty.
i don´t like to cheat, when i was younger i cheat on test in school, but actually i dont like it, it always be discovered, so it s not useful
When I was young, I sometimes cheated on my parents, sometimes in the game and in school. But later in life and now I am honest, I like honest people.
I think that cheating is bad but not at all times.
Question: Are cheating and lying the same thing or different? What about white lie? I think everyone has done it but don´t want to remember afterwards.
Cheating is as destroying skills
Hi ! Ryan
Believe it or not,this is the reality.
No,I never cheated.To deceive someone or to deceive someone with something, means to descend below the quality of human dignity= Crook or Thief.
Thanks for daily Vitamin V !
I don’t cheat as usual, but I think everyone have cheated or lain sometimes; especialy for children it is something cool to cheat.
It’s not so dangerous to cheat once or maybe two times but if it becomes a habit it’s not so good.
When I was in school, I‘ve cheated in nearly every test and I think it is ok, and I don’t feel bad about this. I‘ve never been caught! Cheating in school tests helps you to develop strong nerves. But now I am an adult, and I‘m always honest 🙂
Have i ever cheated? Yes. Is that bad? Not allways. But my thaugts about cheating i prefer to leave to myself. I am a lawyer and i know that to talk about things like cheating openly online is not smart. All things which i put to website or i write online stays online forever. That is why I don’t have facebook or instagram – I don’t like their privacy policy. And i don’t trust Meta. He he he 😀
YES I chater before but I new that I usually made many mistake.
No at a game , but to work or to explain something to do. I don’t new about my taxes.At school I was very bad.My English teacher was really cool because speak every time in English and I think was a good teacher too.Iwas caught but I was stone I smoked too joint.YES I feel very bad in my school in that moments..No she was not bad..When I became Mather I understod I was dyslectic..YES, MY CRASY IDEAAS WERE to be stupid.. Good so I like it..crazy ideas..Chating is very a good away to be sure that I am no stupid because speak about my me, thanks a lot. Yes I continue tomorrow, certainly!
I have cheated in school ,on math,and i didn’ t get caught.I didn’t feel bad about it.
No, I do not cheat. Sometimes, I tell something that is not 100% true but an interpretation of some life situation to be less direct if the information could hurt people or be misunderstood.
I think that in my childhood i cheated like all children does. but now i am trying to be honest because its can destroy your realationship.
I tried to copy in my undergraduate exams. The one time I did it it caught me 🙂 , but the teacher was understanding and seemed amused realizing it was not a “habit” being a good student. I cheated in some interviews by mentioning that I had more experience than I already had just to have at least a chance at interviews. Doing this in the short term I got the position, in the long term …. it turned out that I didn’t have that much experience. It was a bad decision, I decided to leave in less than a month and found myself in a very authoritarian, I would say “communist” staff. In the end, I would say that the truth always comes out :)… However I am not the one who can pick up the stone, we all make mistakes, I think the most important thing is to learn the lesson.
Cheating is not okay, but sometimes it’s useful. You have to reconcile that with your conscience.
It is not good to cheat, but in many situation when it’s good for me, I see I am looking for an ocassion to chaet even if I disagree to cheat. So all the times I should be careful to stop cheating because of being true to myself.
I don’t like to cheat, but I have ceated and I got my lessons. I belive that our thoughts have to be clear.
I think that some times cheating is not so bad
When I was young I had cheated during the exams, especially at the subjects I wasn’t interested in and I never read, such as the subject about the relegion. But when I was a mature student at the university, I did’t allow to myself to cheat, because I wanted to learn everything about the subject I was studing.
Oh good question – yes I have cheated, when I was at school and I did test…..and sometime it is necessary to cheat a little bit – for example if you do not want to meet someone who does not like, I have used good explanations, excuses and so on……Jutta
No, if don’t want to meet someone tell the truth. In this case you betray yourself instead being brave and tell the truth.
i don’t like cheating.Someone who use to chead must be punished
I think cheating is bad always, but in the war is necessary if you want to win. In ancient book of India (Mahabaratha) the Pandava Brothers win the final battle cheating. It’s the life.
va
i don’ like to cheat .
Cheating generally describes various actions. It’s unfair, wrong or destroying.I do not do it and I do not like beying cheated.
And frienkly, yes, as a kid I tried to cheat several times (as a new expirience), but I didn’ t feel good, I felt guilty and stopped doing that very soon.
I am an honest man, but it would be unfair to say that I have never cheated, sometimes I did it, but I am not proud of it, it is sad for me.
