Under British and Australian laws a jury in a criminal case has no access to information about the defendant's past criminal record. This protects the person who is being accused of the crime. Some lawyers have suggested that this practice should be changed and that a jury should be given all the past facts before they reach their decision about the case. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

In England and Australia, it is often argued that the jury in a criminal section does not have the past records of the criminals as it protects the defendants.

On the other hand

Linking Words

, there are some lawyers who give their suggestions that there must have previous records about the criminals so that the jury can reach a right decision. I completely agree with

this

Linking Words

and think that past history helps a lot to get a right judgement.

First

Linking Words

of all, I believe that it is beneficial to have past records so that they do not have any prejudiced decisions. Even if someone committing crime, but their past records are not considered,

then

Linking Words

there will be a chance to create the crime again.

For example

Linking Words

, a girl murdered a man because of rescue herself from the rape. If the judges do not know the truth,

then

Linking Words

, in

this

Linking Words

case, the girl will get severe punishment, it may be life imprisonment or death sentence.

That is

Linking Words

why, it is more important to know the previous conditions of the criminals so that proper judgement is possible.

Secondly

Linking Words

, before giving judgement to anyone's life, judges always take into consideration about the accused social background, upbringing, education, character, mental health status etc.

On the other hand

Linking Words

, these things will help to achieve a proper decision.

For instance

Linking Words

, a recent study in India showed that 18 years old teenager who robbed his father and

then

Linking Words

murdered him. After knowing all the things, the fact came into light that the boy was mentally ill. He even did not know what he was doing.

Thus

Linking Words

, it is better to give him mental treatment rather than giving punishment by law. In conclusion, it is evident from the above arguments that the jury must be aware of the past records of the accused to make judgements without flaws.

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

Many manufactured food and drinks contain high level of sugars which causes many health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. Do you agree or disagree?
Many products these days use sugar as one of their ingredients specially in the food and drink industry. People demand that processed goods with high doses of sugar, the reason of many health problems, should be more pricey so people will be hesitant and consume less sugar. I strongly disagree with this view, because it will be unfair for the home industry that uses sugar as their main ingredients and even the low sugar products.
