    YES
    All cheaters should be sentenced to jail because if they cheat on exams, they may also cheat while at work, or even worse, commit crimes, such as corruption, or using state funds for private purposes. Cheating on exams seems like a minor mistake, but it can reflect the poor moral character and the low degree of self-respect of the students who cheat. Punishing them severely can help them see that cheating gets them nowhere in life. They need to learn the value of hard work and should give up their fantasy of cheating in their later life.
    If there is no strict punishment to the behavior of cheating, it will be extremely unfair to other students who have made great efforts for the examination. If a cheater can easily get away from punishment, then others may follow suit.
    NO
    Putting students in jail because of cheating on national exams is irrational. Cheating on exams does not indicate that these students are criminals or they have caused damages to society. The risk-takers can be punished in other ways, for example, retaking the exam, suspension, receiving moral education, and so on. Ending up in prison, however, is too cruel and will cause irreversible damage to the students’ whole life.
    It is quite likely that students who cheat on exams make the mistake only on the spur of the moment. If they take a second thought, they will not cheat. Through education, exam cheaters will realize their mistakes and correct their deeds. If the young students are put into jail, it will totally ruin their future, and they will pay a heavy price for their misdeeds.

答案     Exam Cheaters Should Not Go to Jail
    It is a frequently seen phenomenon that students, in middle school or in university, cheat on exams. How to prevent students from cheating becomes a thorny issue for teachers. The new regulation suggests that students who cheat on national exams should be sent to prison. Supporters consider this measure effective because they think that cheating may lead to dishonest behaviors in later life. However, some believe that such punishment is irrational for its severity and irreversible harm.
    As for my part, I oppose putting exam cheaters into jail.
    Firstly, if we catch a student cheating, our prior responsibility should be to educate him rather than punish him seriously. To this end, light punishment like losing all points in that exam and moral education can serve as both warning and medicine to cure the root causes of cheating. At the same time, by doing so we will give the cheaters a second chance to behave decently in their later life. Secondly, jail sentence has no benefit in helping cheaters realize their errors and show repentance; instead, it may cast a devastating shadow on the their future life. Cheating, in essence, is a mistake but not a crime. Those who cheat on exams may not necessarily cause damage to society, and some do it only out of spur or ignorance. If we put cheaters into jail, it will cause unnecessary side-effects.
    In conclusion, exam cheaters should be punished in an appropriate manner. Instead of putting them into jail, we should choose education as a more reasonable and effective way to help them.
