There is no doubt that a person should be sentenced to prison for an offence. While many think that longer

jail

time

is the best option to reduce crime, I believe there are different methods that can be useful.

This

essay will discuss both sides of the argument. On the one hand, locking up citizens for more

time

decreases their interaction with the outside world.

This

can be necessary because people often commit

second

crime after coming back from prison.

For example

, most of the offenders who committed a murder are likely to repeat it in a decade. If they are in

jail

for more than that amount of years, it can reduce the murder rate drastically.

Furthermore

, increased

time

behind bars gives a criminal more years to repent.

This

can be very important for a person to realise their mistake, and start a new life in society.

On the other hand

, I think activities like social services with decreased

jail

time

is better.

This

is because, it will keep an offender busy.

For instance

, individuals who are sentenced to some work like cleaning roads, shows excellent improvement in their behaviour.

In contrast

, if we look at a prison environment, people tend to get more violent, there are always fights going on, and they have to participate in order to survive.

In addition

, social services give people some income. With

this

they feel, they are

also

a part of the society.

This

helps them recover faster. In conclusion,

although

in some cases longer

jail

time

is the only way, but if we want to heal the criminal permanently, keeping them occupied in social service is a better option.

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
