Some people argue that capital punishment is a brutal decision and should be abolished. Do you agree or disagree?

It is sometimes believed that the death penalty is a cruel decision to make and should be annulled. In my opinion, I agree with
this
view because putting capital punishment into extinction will not only reduce the rate at which innocent people are being killed regularly especially in lawless nations but will
also
give law offenders an opportunity to amend their ways a
second
time.
First
off, the death penalties have sent a lot of innocent citizens to their early graves.
This
has been the order of the day especially in the underdeveloped nations where bribery, corruption and injustice are palpable making those who don't have a say mostly victimized.
For instance
, in 2003 there was a case of
one
Mr Emeka Okeke an only child of his parents that was killed at his village market in Awka Anambra state believing he was a notorious criminal only to find out a few years after the incident that his paternal uncle was behind the false accusation.
Thus
, putting an end to
this
bizarre punishment will put an end to
further
killings of faultless individuals.
Moreover
,
one
can possibly be given another chance to live so as to change their ways and become better individuals.
For example
, during the days of Justice Anoliefo in my hometown in Anambra state, he once picked up a case of
one
client who has been sentenced to die in the year 2001. Not that the crime wasn't committed by him but he took it up himself to exonerate the criminal after which he was placed under good counsel with resultant positive transformation.
Thus
none has been without a crime ranging from misdemeanour and felony but giving
one
a chance to live again especially when they feel penitent towards what they have done is a thing to give a try. In conclusion, even though some people are in support of capital punishment, I think that should be annulled because its disadvantages outweigh the benefits.

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
