2)
If ever there was an idea custom-made for a Jay Leno monologue, this was it: people that cheats on their exams to get better grades. Isn't that like stealing knowledge that doesn't belong to you and take credit for it? Whatever happened to academic honest and integrity?
I happen to sympathize with dishonest people like these ones, though, perhaps because they don't think they can just study hard like everyone else does and be smart which is pathetic.

Screenshot

This is a screenshot of my composion of replying my co-worker's message. I have been using screenshot since i start using a computer. Screenshot is to capture any active windows on your computer. It is a way of taking a picture or a snapshot of the computer screen. It's very interesting how what is active on your computer screen becomes a picture.

We normally see screenshots a lot in software tutorials to show how to perform a funtion. Also in technical supposrt helps in our computer to show how to solve issues. I use screenshots often when printing. Things don't always print out the way it looked on the computer screen when you hit the Print button from menu bar. Instead, I would do a screenshot of what i want to print and print the screenshot picture.

I find screenshot very useful and helpful. not everyone is a computer expert and a lot of thetime we can't demonstrate something on the computer that would be difficult to explain in words. Screenshot comes in handy when you are in this situation. We always say: " a picture is worth a thousand words."
