Prison As Punishment # Essay For IELTS

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

Prison as punishment for criminals is a very effective way. Discuss.

SAMPLE ANSWER

These days, every time you turn on your television or flick through the pages of newspaper, you learn about the victims of crime. But what is the most effective way of combating crime? Some people believe that sending criminals to prison can help in reducing the crime rates. I agree to some extent with this opinion but firmly believe that prison is the place of rehabilitation but must be used only as a last option.

Firstly, life in jail is becoming quite money driven. Criminals with more money or power are often being offered services such as television, computers or sports facilities. Even more, in some cases they are provided cells that are different from others and are kept aloof. This creates a feeling of inequality and the idea that money is more powerful than law gets circulated.

Another reason why I regard prison as the last option for punishment is because in prisons, all criminals are kept together. So, for instance, a person acquitted of rape is kept with the same person accused of shop lifting. This results in the latter to open up more to the criminal world, increasing his/her chances of doing a crime.
However, prisons also serve as place for reassessment. It has often been seen that prisoners on realizing their mistakes, improve on themselves personally as well as professionally. This is mostly possible because of the various courses being offered to them.

All things considered, life in prison can be a good way to punish criminals but care must be taken on the details of how things actually function inside the bars. Personally, I believe prison must be the last option when all has failed.

IELTS Essay Sample Answer # Cricket

Cricket has become far popular than the national sports in the sub-continental countries.

What do you think are the reasons behind it?

 

Cricket, traditionally an English sport, is becoming increasingly popular in  Australia, South Africa and Indo-Pak countries. But this popularity is highest evidently in the Indo-Pak sub-continent for commercial and historical reasons. Strange it might seems, but it is a fact that less than 10% people are interested in their national game while more than 90% people consider cricket as their passion in those countries.

The main reason for the popularity of the game is the exceptionally good performance of the teams, apart from this sport sub-continent teams do not have any presence in world arena. For instance, people tend to support a team in a game which they play well. Since, the sub-continent teams like India,Pakistan, Bangladesh play better in Cricket as compared to national games, the crowd tends to support them in Cricket.

The second important reason is the media attention that cricket enjoys, allowing them great endorsements and help the cricket stars to be constantly in the public eye. The cricket stars are taken as celebrities and any win in the field of cricket is regarded as huge and celebrated with pomp and show.

It is inevitable that people would participate in sports that they are good at, enjoy and has international renown and that’s why the national and traditional games which is scarcely known to the rest of the world have lost their popularity while the cricket has acclaimed its own rights to the people of this sub-continent area.

Issues With Credit Cards # Essay For IELTS

In many countries it is very easy to apply for and be issued a credit card. However, this causes some people some problems with debts they cannot pay back. Do the advantages of a credit card outweigh the disadvantages?

Write at least 250 words.

Answer

The world today has become a majorly cashless society and the use of plastic money has crept in. plastic money as one refers to it means the use of credit cards and debit cards instead of real paper money. Credit cards have made people’s lives easier since it has reduced the use of paper money to quite an extent which in turn has made the mode of payment simpler with just a swipe.

Many countries including India as well, most of the people have credit cards as they are very easy to obtain from the banks which issue them. People from all walks of life, be it a student, a businessman or even a homemaker have a number of credit cards with which they make everyday payments for something or the other. The best part about owning one is that a person does not have to carry cash all the time and is also less time consuming as no money needs to be withdrawn from the account for any payments. These days all kinds of payments can be done with a credit card via the internet whether it is shopping online or payment of bills. Even if people do not have sufficient money in their savings account, a credit card can be used for payment up to a certain limit.

Though a credit card may seem the need of the hour by many people in this seemingly cashless society, yet it may have certain repercussions like over spending. People, who are impulsive shoppers may spend money uselessly on items that are not required by them just because they have the capacity to pay via a credit card though they do not actually have the money. This created debs for such people which leads to the accrual of debts. The return of the money overdrawn on a credit card attracts an interest, late or non-payment of this will lead to this interest being added to the actual amount. Hence, people will fall in debt unable to come out of it which might also lead to legal consequences as well.

In can be concluded that a credit card does make life easier for people in terms of payment for purchases made in today’s era but one should be careful not to be too free in its use and have a frugal attitude towards its usage.
