Without capital punishment our lives are less secure and crimes or violence increase. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

It is commonly thought that the society is not safe and crimes or violence are not under control if there is no capital punishment. From my perspective, I believe that the

death

sentence is not the best way to punish prisoners. On the one hand, there are several reasons why capital punishment should be enforced. It must be recognized that in the case of dangerous or serious crime,

for example

a serial killing or terrorism, imprisonment or even life sentence is not enough because no one can make sure that the criminal will not relapse back to their bad

behaviors

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

again after being in jail for a long time.

Furthermore

, the

death

penalty will either set an example for fellow criminals or act as a deterrent to offenders. For that reason, criminals know that they must take/ hold/ claim responsibility for their activities in the future and there are no excuses for that.

On the other hand

, I’m of the opinion that

the government

should abolish the

death

sentence. Even the most careful investigation does have mistakes, which lead to several consequences

such

as the innocent can be wrongly convicted and executed. The compensation and apologies are not enough for the innocent’s family who has suffered agonizing and complete loss. Another reason is the obsession of the ones who put

prisoners

a prisoner

. They may face with several problems related to psychology because of the fact that they have killed people despite it being legal. To conclude, while it is true that execution decreases the amount of crime and violence, these issues need to be more thoroughly discussed in the future because of its disadvantages.

In these days, the relationship of people with their neigbours is so far in urban cities. The reason why this bad situation happened is that too much works must be done, so they do not have enough time to communicate to strangers around their houses. This problem can be solved by arranging timetable suitably.

Some people prefer to use energy-saving modes of transportation like hybrid cars and bicycles. Others prefer the usual mode of transportation like buses and trains because it is fast and efficient. Which mode of transportation do you prefer and why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
People have different views about whether transportation should be in the form of energy-saving vehicles like electric cars and bicycles or like usual non-energy-saving vehicles like buses and trains. While public transportation can sometimes be helpful because it is fast and efficient. I believe that the usage of electric cars and bicycles should be encouraged because it benefits both the environment and human life.

Farmers within a country are often protected by tariffs - that is, special taxes on imported food. Such policies are necessary, and should be implemented wherever possible. To what extent do you agree with this?
In many countries, individuals from the farming industry are protected by special taxes that are really helpful. Some believe that those advantages should be implemented wherever possible. I wholeheartedly agree with this statement since it allows farmers to survive and helps the governments not to create any conflict with them.

Your English-speaking friend has asked for your help with a college project he/she is doing about celebrating New Year different countries. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter • say how important New Year is to people in your country • describe how New Year is celebrated in your country • explain what you like about New Year celebrations in your country
Thanks for asking my opinion about New Year celebration. In Taiwan, New Year is a huge holiday persented a new beginning of life. We get together with friends or family in New Year evening after work, sharing things happened recently when having dinner. Than everyone will gather to a hill or a place which have a clear sky to enjoy a fire work show. In order to build up connection between friends and family, therefore, no one will be left in New Year evening.
