Many people believe that the reduction of the

rate will be achieved more effectively through better education rather than prison sentences. I disagree with

this

view, because I consider that both approaches have their own distinctive merits and should each play an integral role in tackling

crime

Use synonyms

. On the one hand, I would argue that prison is effective in dealing with offenders. One reason is that a person who commits a

crime

must learn that unlawful actions have consequences. Murderers,

for instance

, must be imprisoned for many years and

such

a punishment may act as a deterrent. They know that they will face loss of freedom, social isolation and separation from their loved ones if they carry out

a criminal act. Another reason is that when serious offenders are behind bars, they are no longer a danger to society and people can walk in the streets or relax in their homes more safely.

On the other hand

, I consider that education has a complementary role to play.

Firstly

, in schools, students should study some aspects of the law which affect their lives. Having some knowledge of the law, students are better prepared to avoid situations which may involve them in

or becoming a victim.

For example

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

Summary
Restatement of thesis
Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

In conclusion
To conclude
To summarize
Finally
In a nutshell
In general
