IELTS Academic Task -2/ Writing Task -2 in IELTS
1. You should
spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Sending
criminals to the prison is not the best method of dealing with them. Education
and job training more are better ways to help them. To what extent do you agree
or disagree with this opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support
your answer. You should give reasons for your answer using your own ideas and
experience.
From the time immemorial, it has been a matter of
debate how a criminal be punished. Of course, there are people who advocate one
way or the other but in my view, we need to find a middle path to make sure
that the punishment on the one hand, deters the potential criminal and on the
other, it helps to reform the people involved in illegal activities.
First of all, we need to differentiate between the
crimes which shock our conscience and the minor ones. I strongly believe that
punishment and in some cases, severe punishment is the only way out to deter
the people committing crimes which are against life, liberty and humanity. What
I mean by this is that we should adequately punish the wrongdoers when they are
involved in heinous crimes such as gory killing, cold blooded murder, rape,
arsons out of vengeance etc.
In contrast to such views, I hold a slightly different
opinion when the crimes are petty and born out of compulsion or some grave
circumstances. That’s why I believe that the minor crimes like pick pocketing,
thefts where the motive of commission of such crimes is to sustain one’s family
should be treated differently. An opportunity to reform should be given to such
person committing such minor offences. We cannot change our society by crowding
our prison cells. Imparting education and providing quality jobs are
prerequisites of reforming such people.
Therefore, in my conclusion, I would like to summarise
my viewpoint that education alone can help to move people away from the
criminal world. The punitive measures should be adopted only in case of serious
offences. (Total 273 words)
