At the high school my classmate found out that by copying sugary lines from teens' magazines (Readers' Letters section) he could avoid writing compositions and actually get very high marks. And yet more to come, he was admired by most girls of our class as a sensitive young poet!

However, eventually his method did not pay back because he knew he wasn't able to write similar bullshit in the higher school examination (A-levels) and lack of practice in compositions took a revenge.
Oh dear, but we were having fun..
