我们在上一篇文章中（见《大学英语老师如何看待抄袭》）了解到了英文大学老师如何看到抄袭的，这里我们来了解一下该老师是如何看待代写的。虽然turnitin比较难检测出代写来，但一旦发现，是比抄袭更严重的一件学术不端事件，千万别做哦。
首先的首先，啥叫“代写”？
“代写”指的是一个人明明写了一篇文章，却没有被归功成这篇文章的作者（你说冤不冤！）。也就是说，如果你让别人写了篇文章以后，把文章拿来说成是自己写的，就算作是“代写”啦。
为啥“代写”很严重？
“代写”这事儿可能对于很多同学来说，简直是魂牵梦绕相当诱人。但是！“代写”和“抄袭”从本质上都是属于作弊的，当然也就被每个大学认为是绝对不可取的，一旦发现就会被非常严肃的对待。虽然“代写”比起“抄袭”很难被发现，但是大学老师不是吃素的好嘛！我们会比对每个学生不同作业的水平，比如说，如果我们发现你的这篇report作业和上一回考试时写得report风格和质量相差甚远，妥妥的会立刻进（xiang）行（dang）调（huai）查（yi），可能的后果就是直（bu）接（neng）挂（bu）科（kao），或者直接勒令退学啦。
千万千万不要做的事情？
我能给你的最好的建议就是：好好利用每一次你和你的论文指导老师的面谈机会！有任何问题都应该毫不犹豫，完全主动的咨询你的导师或老师！千万不要冒着丢了大学的文凭的风险找代写！不要找代写，不要找代写，不要找代写！（重要的事情再次说三遍）
下面是该老师的原话：
What is ghost-writing?
Ghost-writing refers to an author producing a piece of work but not being credited; i.e. getting someone else to write your assignment, and then pretending it is yours.
Why is it a serious thing?
Engaging in ghost-writing can be a haunting experience for any student. Similar to plagiarism, it is a form of cheating and taken very seriously by universities. Although a ghost-written assignment can be hard to detect, large discrepancies in marks between different types of assessments (such as exams and reports) for the same student can cause a degree of suspicion. Your university will not hesitate in taking disciplinary action, which may result in failing directly from a programme or removed from the university itself.
What NOT to do.
The best advice I can give you is to fully utilize your advisory meetings with your dissertation supervisor. If you have any doubts it is better to turn to your supervisor or lecturer than sacrifice your degree at the expense of a ghost-writer.
