考鸭们都知道,雅思写作话题有一个历史题库。本文就为大家梳理历年雅思写作真题范文:A recent newspaper article reports that a 14-year-old boy who seriously destroyed his school got a punishment to clean streets instead of sent to the prison, do you think this is right, or the young criminals should be sent to the jail?——2016年1月14日青少年犯罪类雅思写作真题
分析:作为16年首个换题月的第二场考试,这个题目着实是达到了它应有的难度。首先,问法比较新颖,先是就题干中的观点进行提问,然后又提问考生对另外一个观点的看法。所以这道题,其实就是对两个观点的讨论,可以转换成: Some people think that a 14-year-old boy who seriously destroyed his school should get a punishment to clean streets, while others think that young criminals should be sent to the jail. Discuss both views and give your own opinions. 那么这样一来,这个题目对我们而言就非常熟悉了。
对于“打扫街道卫生”这个立场,我们应该是支持的态度,因为题目中所提到的罪犯年仅14岁,在大多数国家的法律当中,未成年人犯罪都是需要从轻处罚的。因此,我么可以用 “1.小孩子心智不成熟;2.小孩子的可塑性比较强,应当以教育惩罚为主”这两个观点来支持。对于“送进监狱”这个立场,我们则是不支持的态度,那么我们的写法就是先让步:监狱可以使孩子明白犯罪的严重性,之后针对让步进行反驳:但是孩子可能会受到监狱中其他罪犯的不良影响,不利于心理发育。
Children nowadays are exposed in a diversified environment where they have absolute access to internet, being able to befriend with people from a variety of backgrounds. This may result in children’s antisocial behavior and there is a beat debate on whether teenagers who commit serious crimes should be punished by doing some volunteering jobs or being imprisoned.
Contributing to their community can be an effective way to tell them that they are victimizing other people. One argument in its favor is that they are immature. It would be a difficult thing to predict the consequences of their behavior and law knowledge not be sufficiently acquired at that young age. Another important factor in this respect is that they are formable in character compared to adult criminal, thus it is better to educate them. Doing something valuable to their society can embed a sense of responsibility in them and give them an opportunity to reflect on their deviance, which will truly rectify their criminality.
However, of course those who advocate custody sentence may have some plausibility to some extent. Allowing them to recognize their mistakes is the priority of taking adolescent law breakers into prison. One received harsh penalty, preventing persistent crime seems to be possible. But the believers of this have ignored the issue over what if they are negatively influenced by other prisoners? How should they face the society with an ex-record especially when finding jobs.
当然,那些主张监禁的人在某种程度上可能有一定的合理性。让他们认识到自己的错误是把青少年犯法者关进监狱的首要任务。一个受到严厉惩罚,防止持续犯罪似乎是可能的。但是,如果他们受到其他囚犯的负面影响,信徒们就忽略了这个问题。特别是当他们找到工作的时候,他们应该如何面对社会?
In conclusion, I therefore believe that having faith in the young who go astray cannot be a more effective way to solve raging young criminal activities and taking responsibility for their living surroundings is the best way to do this.
