public work,

as helping with cleaning streets as a punishment, rather than other various types of sanctions, like penalty. Personally, I assume, that people must do community service

because

can teach them how to treat public assets properly and can cause guilt or shame in front of others.

if you damage something. So, those actions,
such
as public cleaning and helping with building some structures or monuments are more educational, rather than just paying a fine,
due to
the anonymity of

action.
For instance
,
according to
psychologists people usually do not feel guilt or shame if no one else knows about their actions.
Consequently
, paying a penalty would not make a person regret about done.
Secondly
, places like prisons typically make individuals even worse, than they were before.
This
might lead to much more inferior actions,
such
as murder or violence.
For example
, statistics from the government of the USA illustrate, that people who got out of prison, often do the same crimes or even worse. In conclusion, it seems to me, that doing community service is a much better idea, rather than the option of going to prison.
However
, many countries prefer to issue a fine, because it is less work and income to the treasury.

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.
