In some societies, the number of crimes committed by teenagers is growing. Some people think that regardless of age, teenagers who commit major crimes should receive adult punishment. To what extent do you agree?

Nowadays, the number of
crimes
is still increasing and the percentage of
teenagers
who are involved is
also
rising. Certain
people
think that

This
essay will shed light on
this
situation and put forward my opinion that I keep neutral views about
this
statement. There are several reasons why some
people
think that
people
should send
teenagers
to
jail
and enjoy the same treatment as adults.
Firstly
,
this
law
can ensure community safety, if some
teenagers
make the mistake of breaking the
law
, and can warn other
people
who want to commit major
crimes
.
Secondly
,
according to
some popular humanity projects when those
people

time, they come into contact with some bad

when they are too young to realise which will cause them to mature too early and
then

this
is not something that normal

can usually do.
On the other hand
, solving any problem should consider each point and not be extremes,
this
situation is no different.
For example
, some
teenagers
are only breaking the

this
situation can effectively make

also
think when young

, the court cannot first think about sending them to

can correct their mistakes.

task response
You maintained a discussion regarding both views, which is positive. However, your position is not clearly stated. A clear opinion must be presented, especially when the question directly asks for the extent of your agreement.
task response
Ensure your essay presents a balanced view but also highlights your own stance more emphatically to fulfill task requirements.
coherence and cohesion
Your essay has an introduction and a conclusion, which is good. Make sure every paragraph has a clear central idea, ideally in the first or second sentence.
coherence and cohesion
Work on the logical flow of ideas. Some sentences appear disjointed due to awkward phrasing.
task achievement
Include more specific examples to support your points. This strengthens the argument and aids in achieving a higher score for task achievement.

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
