By punishing murderers with death penalty, society is also guilty of committing murder. Therefore, life in prison is a better punishment for murderers. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Some people are of the opinion that penalizing killers with the

death

sentence is parallel to committing murder,

hence

the legal system should opt for

life

imprisonment

instead

in cases of homicide. I totally disagree with

this

point of view, as there is no inherent difference between capital punishment and

life

behind bars, and the latter would be cost-ineffective. In respect to punishing murderers, execution and prison for

life

are similar conceptually and in a material manner

also

. Both retributions represent the desire to revenge against the offender of society,

thus

their meanings are identical. Regarding the tangible aspect, except for nations with superior social welfare

such

as Norway, the degree of suffering following confinement may not diverge greatly from that resulting from

death

Add an article

the death

show examples

For instance

, I once read in a newspaper that rapists were forced by other prisoners to wipe the bathroom's floor with their penises in Vietnamese jails.

Therefore

, there is no major discrepancy between putting criminals to

death

and locking them behind bars.

Additionally

, replacing the

death

sentence with lifelong incarceration is financially inefficient. To subsidize a large number of unemployed people will be a burden to taxpayers as taxes may have to increase.

Moreover

instead

of sponsoring public projects

such

as libraries, museums, healthcare, and pension, a bigger proportion of government funds would be spent on supporting those behind bars.

That is

to say, innocent citizens would have to bear the budgetary weight of substituting the

death

penalty with

life

confinement;

this

policy is quite economically absurd. To choose incarceration for

life

as an alternative for capital punishment is to waste resources without meaningfully making any changes.

Therefore

, I am completely against

this

shift in legal practice.

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
