The death penalty should be available as a punishment for serious crimes. To what extent do you agree?

#death #penalty #punishment #crimes
The problem of whether or not
people
 should apply the death penalty has sparked a heated debate.
While
 some
people
 argue that
this
 is not an ethical decision, I contend that it would bring a positive impact on the life of usual
people
. There are two main reasons why opponents of
this
 idea claim that it is not fair for law violators.One of them is that
people
 should be in jail.
For example
,
according to
 research conducted by Harvard University every second prisoner changes their mind after jail. Another cogent reason for
this
 is that nobody mustn't murder
people
,
besides
 only God is able to do it. To commence, I believe that the death penalty is relatively positive for several reasons.
Firstly
, common
people
 fear going outside. To prove
this
 statement, the eminent example of it is that in 1999 psychopaths
people
 were afraid to walk after midnight.
Secondly
, with the help of
this
 law, murderers won't be able to be hurt anymore.
To conclude
, I opine that the death penalty is very cruel to violater.
However
,
this
 is the measure that we need to take.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
