為大家帶來社會類話題雅思寫作大作文題：

Young people who commit serious crimes should be punished in the same way as adults.

雅思寫作大作文思路講解：

題型：辯論型

類別：犯罪類話題

題目解釋：年輕人犯了重罪是否應該和成人接受的懲罰是一樣的?

分段解析：

1.Introduction

大家首先需要想想為什么會有這種建議。不難看出主要的原因就是為了減少青少年的犯罪率，所以我們可以在第一段里寫現在青少年犯罪率攀升(crime rate)，為了遏制這種情況有人提出題目里說的東西(大家要改題哦。最簡單的方式就是把動詞punish改稱名詞punishment)。注意：大家在寫開頭段時不需要想一些無聊的套句，如隨著社會的發展等等。

2.Positive sides

思路：先反著想——為什么青少年受到的處罰比成人輕?因為他們年幼無知。所以為了反駁次論點我們說青少年現在接受的關于法律的教育很多或很深刻，犯罪時他們是知道自己要面對的后果的。當然嚴重的懲罰也會對他人有個警示的作用。

關鍵詞句推薦：be aware of. Realization. consequences. Profound. Be a deterrent to.

3.Negative sides

思路：大家需要把重點放在“年輕”二字上。設身處地的想想如果你是十七八歲的少年，受到這么嚴重的處罰會是何等心情?所以年輕人需要有一個重生的機會。此外，不是所有的青少年都有受教育的機會。那些因為貧窮而沒有受到教育的孩子怎么辦?此時大家想想美國貧民窟的黑人孩子。

關鍵詞句推薦： rehabilitate. Deny sb of sth. Living conditions. Leniency.

4. Conclusion

表達自己的觀點，并總結一下自己不同意的觀點及解決方案。

雅思寫作大作文范文：

Crimes can be detestable, while minor offenders and their crimes are from time to time treated with leniency. Thus, some argue that laws should not discriminate, and equally punish minor criminals—an opinion that this essay is against.

To begin with, minors are yet to approach their maturity, and their crimes, albeit serious, should be punished with the consideration of their young age. Internationally speaking, countries might define the start of adulthood differently—18 being the most common—but they commonly believe that there is a distinction between minor crimes and adult crimes. Minors are likely to be given a better chance for rehabilitation when they commit crimes because of their inexperience of life and possibly better life prospects. In that case, milder punishments are inflicted onjuvenile delinquents: lesser sentencing and relatively less harsh correction facilities are introduced in their cases.

Moreover, considering the correction process, minor offenders should not be punished equally as adult criminals. Despite the above-mentioned arguments that are in young offenders’ defense, crimes, especially felonies by minors, deserve heavy punishment to deter crimes and reduce the harm of those crimes to the society. However, sending minors to adult prison might entailunexpectedly negative results. First, minors are naturally closer to more sophisticated criminals and crimes, which aggravate juvenile delinquency. Second, when in adult correctional facilities, young criminals might be threatened by assaults by adult prisoners, mostly sexually,which is nowhere closer to the purpose of rehabilitation.

In sum, law breakers, be they minors or not, should be punished for their wrongdoings, but lesser sentences and special correctional facilities might be more reasonable and helpful.
