I tried to find the source by putting the first sentence into Google. Sometimes it worked.

Does anyone know another way to catch the cheaters?

Many times it's totally obvious, like when a 9 year old who can't hold a 10 second conversation produces a book report that Shakespere himself would be proud of.
At elementary level, plaigarism isn't such a crime (at least the kids are practicing writing english letters even though they're just copying).

If it's high school or above, then you should take it seriously.

Korean students, by and large, do not use Google. They use Naver and Daum. I catch all my plagiarizers by using Naver and Daum in return.
