  • Dạng discuss both views thì đã rất quen thuộc với các bạn học sinh lớp IELTS ONLINE WRITING 1 KÈM 1 của IELTS TUTOR rồi nhé.
  • Dạng discuss both views có thể bố cục bài như sau:
    • Body 1: Viết về quan điểm Some people think that lawbreakers should be sent to prison
      • Main idea 1: Putting criminals to prison could guarantee safety for the society because those people would not be able to commit more crimes. >> IELTS TUTOR lưu ý Cách dùng từ "Commit" 
        • Supporting idea: Prisons are not only a physical place that keeps criminals contained to protect innocent people but also a reminder of the consequences of violating the law.
        • Example: The imprisonment of notorious gang leader John Smith resulted in a substantial reduction in crime rates within the community, showcasing that incarcerating criminals not only physically restrains them but also serves as a deterrent, emphasizing the consequences of violating the law.
      • Main idea 2: Prison sentences serve as one of the embodiments of justice and fairness in society. 
        • Supporting idea: When a person commits an unlawful act, be it a misdemeanor or a felony, there should be punishments or else society would fall into chaos.
        • Example: The prison sentence handed to Harvey Weinstein in 2020 for rape and sexual assault, following allegations during the #MeToo movement, exemplifies the embodiment of justice and fairness in society by holding individuals accountable for unlawful acts. 
    • Body 2: Viết về quan điểm others think that better talents among those should be made to work & nêu rõ mình ủng hộ quan điểm này 
      • Main idea 1: Allowing these people to work can save taxpayers money on maintaining prisons and also contribute to the society.
        • Supporting idea: 
          • The increase in the numbers of prisoners subsequently increases the cost for running the prison.  >> IELTS  TUTOR  hướng  dẫn  CỤM TỪ CỐ ĐỊNH CẤU TRÚC "STH AND STH" 
          • The cost of running and managing prisons is often costly as the government needs to invest much money on facilities and security.
        • Example: In the state of California, a prison reform initiative was implemented to allow non-violent offenders to participate in a work-release program. Instead of being confined to prison for the entirety of their sentences, these individuals were permitted to work in various industries, such as agriculture and manufacturing, under strict supervision.
      • Main idea 2: Making them provide service to the poor and the needy people is more meaningful than locking them up. 
        • Supporting idea: 
          • When criminals have to lose freedom and spend years of their lives in prison, they could become resentful. >> IELTS TUTOR giới thiệu Collocation với từ "FREEDOM"
          • This would prevent them from being a good citizen after being released, which is a negative impact.
        • Example: For instance, Halden Prison in Norway is known for its humane conditions and innovative rehabilitation programs. Inmates are provided with vocational training, including carpentry and cooking classes, to acquire practical skills.

IELTS TUTOR gợi ý bài tham khảo:

Some argue that lawbreakers should be incarcerated (bị bỏ tù – imprisoned), while others maintain that individuals with valuable expertise (kiến thức chuyên môn có giá trị – specialized skills or knowledge) should be compelled to work for the benefit of society. I firmly side with the latter view, as making use of offenders’ talents is a more constructive (mang tính xây dựng – positive and useful) approach.

On the one hand, imprisonment is considered an effective means to maintain public safety. Isolating criminals from society prevents them from committing further offenses, thereby serving as a deterrent (biện pháp răn đe – something that discourages criminal behavior). For instance, the imprisonment of a notorious gang leader led to a significant fall in crime rates, illustrating how prison safeguards innocent citizens while reminding others of the repercussions of unlawful actions. Furthermore, prison sentences embody justice and fairness, ensuring accountability for both minor and serious crimes. The conviction of Harvey Weinstein for sexual assault is a clear example of how incarceration upholds the principle of justice and reinforces society’s trust in the legal system.>> tham khảo CẦN VIẾT & THU ÂM BAO NHIÊU BÀI ĐỂ ĐẠT 8.0 SPEAKING & 7.0 WRITING?

On the other hand, redirecting offenders’ skills into productive work is more advantageous. Allowing such individuals to contribute through supervised programs not only alleviates the financial burden (gánh nặng tài chính – heavy cost or expense) on taxpayers but also adds value to society. For example, California’s work-release initiative enabled non-violent offenders to work in agriculture and manufacturing, reducing prison costs while promoting rehabilitation. Moreover, forcing offenders to provide services to the underprivileged is arguably more meaningful than locking them up. Traditional prisons often breed resentment and diminish the prospect of reintegration into society, whereas rehabilitation-focused systems, like Halden Prison in Norway, emphasize vocational training and skill development, enabling inmates to return as responsible citizens.

In conclusion, while prisons guarantee security and justice, channeling offenders’ talents into productive work is a more sustainable and socially beneficial solution.
