　　Topic 18 The Negative Effects of Plagiarism
        　　Nowadays every one of us may come across peoplewho copy others’ books,
articles or other works fortheir own benefits now and then.
        　　This phenomenon is most harmful to the academiccircle and even the whole
society.
        　　In my opinion, their harmfulness can be summarizedin the following three
respects.
        　　In the first place, the rights of the originalcopyright holders are cruelly
violated.
        　　In the second place, people will lose the impulse tocreate if there is
plagiarism here and there.
        　　Last but not least, plagiarism will lead to the degradation of the whole
academic circle,whichincludes not only the publications, but also people’s
minds.
        　　In my opinion, the government and the citizens should join hands to put an
end to plagiarism.
        　　On the one hand, the government should punish the plagiarizers severely
lest they harm theauthors again.
        　　On the other hand, common citizens should report such harmful phenomena as
soon aspossible.
        　　Only by the joint efforts of the government and the common people can we do
away withplagiarism.
