Media English:Traffic Wardens Get Video Cameras

In the UK, Traffic Wardens equip with CCTV camera for take action against the traffic violations. This effort is effective in decreasing crimes and violence on taxi driver, fireman and emergency services.
But in the UK, before introducing CCTV camera, there are a lot of surveillance cameras, for example in station, airport, bank and street. These help to protect a life, but some people feel that it is too much caution. Security cameras is installed throughout England. Some people living in England are apprehensively that camera's images may be abused.
I think security cameras relieve us a little. Some crime are prevented. But if there are too much cameras, I'll think that there is dangerous place. Someone who come there first will think same.
I think security cameras are necessity, but it disturb us too much cameras.

Mwdia English : University Students Are Cheating Using the Internet

In the UK university has a problem that several students copy articles from the Internet for their report. It is plagiarism.
In 2004, a student was divested his previous classes evaluation just before he graduate, because his plagiarism came to light.He insisted that if plagiarism is such important problem, the university must guide from the first.
The UK university start measure against plagiarism, for example to use software discovering plagiarism and ask attending study skills workshop for students.

I think that to write a report is difficult , all the more if we try to make a good report. But we must make an effort to write it by myself. This process and a sense of achievement grow up us.

Plagiarism is easier than making report by oneself. But this hard work has value for our effort.
