Part I Writing (30 minutes) (15'×1=15')
It is reported that the flooding of fake diplomas is becoming a serious problem recently. When employers lay much emphasis on their candidates’ education background, different kinds of fake diplomas appear.
Fake diplomas do harm to the job market. First of all, it is unfair that one fails to get his job just because his rival has got a fake diploma or certificate. Furthermore, due to fakers’ behaviors, it will affect the image of education and training institutions.
Many ways can contribute to solving this serious problem, but the following ones may be quite effective. First of all, companies and universities should have a close contact so that fake diplomas cannot play tricks. Besides, people who fabricate fake diplomas should be severely punished by law and thoroughly exposed through media. Finally, those who use fake diplomas in finding jobs should be disqualified from the job market for at least three months. That may teach others a lesson.
These may not be the best and only measures we can take. But it should be noted that we should take strong action to prohibit fake diplomas.
