Some people who have been in prison become good citizens later. Some people think that having these people to give a talk to school students is the best way to tell them about dangers of committing a crime. Do you agree or disagree?

 is of paramount importance in any country, but the way it can be conducted is often a subject of debate in society. While I agree that asking those who are released from prison to have a

also
 believe that there are better alternatives to the problem, as will now be discussed. On the one hand, I agree that students may be aware of the consequences of engaging in criminal activities when attending a
talk
 given by ex-prisoners. Their life stories are often vivid and persuasive, and
this
 can attract the attention of school students easily. These ex-criminals are real examples that people have to pay for their unlawful activities, which can raise awareness about law-abiding citizens among young people. The success of a series of educational programs on Vietnamese Television channels about the price that offenders have to pay proves that the narrative forms of

 can work. It is hoped that a speech of used-to-be wrongdoers is promoted at all school levels in
