  1. Hi, I felt that your arguements were not only very strong and well supported but also quite interesting. I especially thought the part where you said that plagiarism could be a social climate as quite thought provoking. Your conclusion wrapped up your overall reasons well and although there were a few grammatical errors it is a very well written essay! ( 201202968, 임정연/ Lim Jung- Yun)
