Incident of cheating at the exams - Version 2 | for 10 year olds | Jarrod Paul Dharmaraj | Singapore
Allow me to introduce my pal and Ngee Ann Primary School classmate, Jarrod Paul Dharmaraj, who has contributed the following essay on "Incident of cheating at the exams" - my version was published earlier.
John was both a copycat and a lazy boy. He loved to play computer games and never gave a thought about his schoolwork. He spent most of his time glued to the computer screen. The PSLE was drawing near, and John had not even started revising for the examinations. As his Mathematics examination drew nearer and nearer, John started to get anxious. Finally, he decided to take desperate measures; he was going to cheat!
A day before the examination, the teacher asked John, Tom and Jake to go to the staff room to collect some books. When they were there, they picked up the books from the teacher’s table. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, John saw the examination paper on the table. He purposely dropped his books, asking the others to go off first. He then took a pen and wrote some answers down on the palm of his hand. Then, he walked back to the classroom.
The day of the examination finally arrived. As the students entered the examination hall, John felt nervous. What if he was caught? With butterflies in his stomach, he sat down on his allocated seat. The papers were handed out and there was total silence in the hall. “You may begin writing now,” said the teacher.
John was perspiring. He hoped the words he had copied on the palm of his hand had not smudged. They did not! He started copying down the answers. Little did he know that the teacher was looking at him. “John Tan, stand up!” she thundered. John stood up, a sense of dread building up inside him. “Report to the General Office, now,” she said. John followed her to the General Office, thinking of the look of disappointment on his parents’ faces when they heard about the incident.
His parents were certainly angry with him, and he was grounded from playing computer games for two weeks. John vowed never to cheat again.
More contributions from my friends and classmates to come. So stay tuned!
