The H.M team would like to thank Yunyi and Kristy for sharing their experiences and difficulties of studying abroad with us. Throughout the interview, we noticed that some international students hire ghostwriters to write essays or assignments for them. We understand that international students may be challenged by writing in English. However, hiring a ghostwriter is not the solution. If students hire ghostwriters, they may lose the opportunities to improve their knowledge and language skills. It is commonly known that UNSW has strict regulations on academic integrity and plagiarism, students who hire ghostwriters may receive academic penalty, e.g. expelled by the university. In our previous post, we recommended a few services offered by UNSW Student Development International. Thus, we suggest that our international students can use a variety of university resources to improve their English language skills instead of hiring ghostwriters.
With love, Cilo xx
