雅思大作文中的法律與犯罪類話題
A類的雅思大作文大致可以分為教育,社會(huì),科技,政府政策,大眾媒體,法律和犯罪這么六大類的題目,而其中學(xué)生們普遍反映最怵的,感覺最無從下手的題目當(dāng)屬法律與犯罪類型的題目。雖然說出題頻率相對(duì)來說并不是非常的頻繁,但是如果學(xué)生在備考中沒有進(jìn)行合理有效的對(duì)此類話題具有針對(duì)性的總結(jié)和復(fù)習(xí)的話,相信很難在寫作中取得什么理想的分?jǐn)?shù)。下面是小編為您收集整理的雅思大作文中的法律與犯罪類話題,供大家參考!
雅思大作文中的法律與犯罪類話題
1. Can capital punishment (death penalty) ever be justified?
是否應(yīng)該有死刑?
這個(gè)題目可以說是一談到法律犯罪這一大類話題時(shí),最會(huì)經(jīng)常談到的問題。對(duì)于大多數(shù)中國(guó)雅思考生,尤其是高中生,大學(xué)生,如果沒有事先經(jīng)過精心準(zhǔn)備的話,對(duì)這個(gè)題目恐怕只能是傻眼了。關(guān)于這個(gè)話題,大致可以分成以下這幾個(gè)分論點(diǎn)來展開:
Arguments against capital punishment
1. 死刑只是對(duì)罪犯的一種處罰,而并不能夠?qū)⒎缸镄袨橹惺芎φ呱旎?,或者賠償其所遭受的傷害
Capital punishment, which even though manages to bring the criminals to justice, could by no means compensate for physical, mental and psychological sufferings inflicted on victims, or in some extreme cases, bring back their lives.
2. 無論一個(gè)人犯多大的錯(cuò)誤,其他人都無權(quán)剝奪其生命。 (人權(quán))
It is entirely unjustified to deprive one of his/her rights to live regardless of how insanely severe and cruel the offenses he/she has committed are. (This subject matter has boiled to the controversial issue of human rights)
3. 死刑犯的尸體的處理(是否可以用于器官移植等等)將是一個(gè)非常具有爭(zhēng)議的道德問題。
How the body of the deceased criminal is going to be disposed of (used for organ transplant, for instance) will be bound to raise grave both ethical and social implications.
Arguments for capital punishment
1. 如果死刑犯沒有受到最為嚴(yán)厲的懲罰,那么這對(duì)受害者是不公平的。
It would be only fair for the victims if the criminals are subject to the greatest fear of all- death.
2. 如果死刑取消的話,那么很多潛在的罪犯就不會(huì)顧忌做出一些極為可怕的犯罪行為。
If capital punishment is ever to be done away with, the potential wrong-doers wouldn’t be deterred from committing staggeringly serious offenses among which serial murder proves particularly appalling.
2. Should criminals be sent to prisons or placed on education and job retraining?
類似的題目之前曾經(jīng)考過,而在今年的1月12日再次出現(xiàn)。對(duì)于這個(gè)題目,很多學(xué)生會(huì)非常容易的陷入一個(gè)陷阱(pitfall),那就是認(rèn)為說如果讓學(xué)生接受教育或就業(yè)培訓(xùn)的話,那就是等同于有充分的人身自由了。其實(shí)不然,這里的教育或就業(yè)培訓(xùn)并不代表說把囚犯與普通的學(xué)生或接受培訓(xùn)者一樣等同的對(duì)待,而是一樣的要限制他們的自由,只不過說不像在監(jiān)獄里整天關(guān)在牢房里無所事事,而是要接受教育和培訓(xùn)。關(guān)于這個(gè)題目,其實(shí)就變成了一個(gè)兩者之間的對(duì)比,可以從以下幾個(gè)方面進(jìn)行論述。
1. 監(jiān)獄同教育或就業(yè)培訓(xùn)相比有很強(qiáng)的阻嚇作用,這樣可以有效的抑制犯罪率的上升。
In stark contrast to placing criminals on educational courses or employment retraining, prisons appeared more effective in deterring potential, would-be wrongdoers from committing crimes, thus drastically decreasing the likelihood of rising crime rate.
2. 監(jiān)獄更多的對(duì)罪犯來說是一種懲罰,因此能夠避免再犯。
Being locked up behind the bars is a punitive measure imposed on criminals who are highly unlikely to turn into a recidivist in consideration of their fear of setting foot into jails ever again.
Arguments for education and job retraining
1. 罪犯在監(jiān)獄里所被包圍的是一群囚犯,這對(duì)罪犯的改造不是好的,反而是不好的影響。接受教育可以讓罪犯在一個(gè)積極的環(huán)境里,真正的意識(shí)到對(duì)與錯(cuò)。
“Captivity of negativity” is a terminology intended to describe the destructive, rather than constructive impact on criminals who are locked up in prison, surrounded by people who probably have committed even more serious charges. Education serves to correct any misconception or eliminate twisted thoughts they have by immersing them in a positive environment.
2. 大多數(shù)罪犯往往是沒有什么文化知識(shí)和生存技能,出獄后通常很難找到工作。教育和就業(yè)培訓(xùn)能夠讓他們?cè)谌蘸蟮纳钪锌孔约荷嫦氯?,而不至于因?yàn)闆]有收入來源而再次誤入歧途。
A significant proportion of criminals are sadly illiterate without adequate fundamental knowledge and survival skills and it wouldn’t be easy for them to find a decent job after being released from the jail. With convenient access to education and job retraining, they are able to survive by themselves, greatly reducing the chance of becoming a recidivist in times when they are financially challenged.
3. Should individual choices interfere with the society that is based on rules and laws
這是今年10月11號(hào)的考題,這道題目主要討論的核心是一種矛盾。那就是社會(huì)始終是以法規(guī)和法律為基礎(chǔ)的,而有時(shí)社會(huì)的利益往往是與個(gè)人的選擇相矛盾的。當(dāng)這種矛盾發(fā)生時(shí),應(yīng)該將哪一個(gè)放在首位?為什么?這次考試結(jié)束后,我曾經(jīng)與幾個(gè)參與考試的學(xué)生討論過,很多學(xué)生的反映就是這個(gè)題目其實(shí)并不難,但就是不知道如何下手。還有某位學(xué)生直接就舉了一個(gè)我們不能隨便殺人,因?yàn)檫@是違反法律的事情的這樣一個(gè)例子。其實(shí),這個(gè)題目最為關(guān)鍵的是兩點(diǎn):如何去法律的范圍還有就是要找到一個(gè)合適法律與個(gè)人選擇發(fā)生沖突的這么一個(gè)結(jié)合點(diǎn)。我對(duì)這個(gè)題目的段落結(jié)構(gòu)以及內(nèi)容的理解如下:
1.這種矛盾的產(chǎn)生主要是因?yàn)榉煞ㄒ?guī)是從大眾和國(guó)家的利益出發(fā),而個(gè)人利益則絕大多數(shù)情況下是站在個(gè)人角度考慮問題的。一個(gè)有利于個(gè)人的問題如果給其他人造成了無謂的傷害,則是不應(yīng)該允許的。
The conflict of public interest and personal interest accounts largely for the issue of the extent to which is the interference of personal choices justified with the society governed by rules and laws.
雅思寫作9分范文:警察佩戴槍的利弊
下面這篇在2004年考過兩次,內(nèi)容比較難寫,很多考生都構(gòu)思不出內(nèi)容,因此,我請(qǐng)我的美國(guó)朋友按照雅思作文的套路寫了篇范文,大家可以學(xué)習(xí)一下里面的語言和內(nèi)容。
Unlike most countries, the police in the United Kingdom do not normally carry guns. Some people think it leaves the citizens unprotected, while others believe that this practice reduces the overall violence in society. Discuss both views and use your own experience and evidence.
Unlike most countries, the police in the United Kingdom do not normally carry guns. Some people think it leaves citizens unprotected, while others believe that this practi c e reduces the overall violence in society. Police having guns however is an issue secondary to criminals having guns. (45words)
結(jié)構(gòu)分析:“2+1”模式,最后一句為主題句,明確地表達(dá)了自己的觀點(diǎn)。但是,前兩句的問題很嚴(yán)重,即照抄了題目。(這可能是我和老外沒有溝通好,在他所寫的所有例文中都出現(xiàn)了類似的情況,大家千萬不要學(xué)!)
. Because criminals usually have access to guns, police officers need them in order to control crime. If police in the U.K. are able to go without guns and not have crime getting completely out of control then they have already set a fine example that other countries should follow. The fact that they are able to do this is an indication of their ability to control the flow of guns to the general populace and this makes citizens safer than anything else. To a civilian, taking guns away from criminals is more important than giving them to police. (98words)
For places that are not able to, or are unwilling to control this availability of guns to criminals, police have no choice. Countries with weak or ineffective gun laws, or countries bordering such countries, like Mexico which has strong gun laws, but virtually no way to prevent them from being smuggled over the border from the U.S., need a police force that is not only armed, but is armed better than the criminals. This ‘domestic arms race’ is the fate of any country that does not realize that civilians have no need of being armed and should have no access to weapons whatsoever.(103words)
The root of the problem is embarrassingly corrupt governments and ineffective half-measures taken to control the circulation of guns, which allows criminals to easily come into possession of guns. Nations around the world should hope to someday reach the point where their police force can afford not to carry guns and still be effective. (54words)
文章后幾段結(jié)構(gòu)比較清晰,未加點(diǎn)評(píng),第一句為段落主題句。
