Summer homework service in demand online  

代寫暑假作業網店熱銷 3元每頁20余種字跡供選擇

Hangzhou (ECNS) -- Many online shops are providing the service of doing homework for students, charging 3 yuan per page or 12 yuan per 1,000 characters, and the service is quite popular.

Wang Xin, an online shop owner, said on Thursday that she had 19 ghostwriters, but as school will start in September, she received too many orders to finish on time.

Over 2,500 orders have been made at Wang's online shop. She also provided about 20 kinds of handwriting styles for her clients to choose from.

Lin Hui, another online shop owner providing the same service, said he asks clients to send in their handwriting samples along with exercise books so he can find a ghostwriter who can match the handwriting.

However, many parents are opposed to the service. A woman in Hangzhou, surnamed Chen, said students will gain nothing but waste money by buying the service. She said she supervised her teenage daughter to finish her summer vacation homework.

Buying the service just helps students cheat and makes them form bad habits, she added.
