A: Hey! Did you hear about Waseda University?

B: No, what's going on?

A: Apparently, they cancelled the enrollment of five students! Big trouble!

B: Wow, seriously? What did they do?

A: They cheated on a TOEIC test. It’s that English test, right?

B: Ah, yeah, I know it! TOEIC. So, it was a cheating scandal?

A: Exactly! And it wasn't just Waseda. Other universities are doing the same. Tsukuba and Tokyo University of Science too.

B: That’s crazy. It sounds like a lot of people were involved.

A: Yep! They say around 803 people's scores were cancelled!

B: 803?! That's huge! Did it affect Waseda's entrance exams?

A: It did. 52 scores were used for their entrance exams. They even cancelled offers to three students who hadn’t enrolled yet!

B: That’s tough for everyone involved. What about the student who didn’t get into grad school?

A: They got suspended! Waseda wants to be really strict about fairness now.

B: Makes sense. It's not fair to the students who did everything honestly.

A: The people who run the TOEIC test are trying to make it harder to cheat too. They’ll check IDs more carefully.

B: Good! Hopefully, this will stop happening again. It’s a shame, really.
