selfstudy on 30

I practise summarising by rewrite an article on page27:
Nowadays, with the widely access of internet, college students tend to plagiarize essay from the internet which really makes their tutors annoyed while the tutors have nothing to deal with for a long time. So in order to prevent students from copying, a new software engine—TurnItIn appears. It can tell the tutor whether his student has copied and how much of the essay is original after TurnItIn scanned the whole essay. Undoubtedly, all the resource of TurnItIn is based on internet, the same as the students doing plagiarize. But the power of this search engine is far stronger. Even changing words or copying a phrase can be discovered. Furthermore, it can list all the references if the student has forgotten it.
