——雅思写作大作文之“犯罪”类
　　犯罪类话题是许多雅思考生的噩梦，很多人就因为碰到了犯罪类话题而不得不继续“二战”，可是其实犯罪类话题的出题方向还是非常明确的，基本就局限在青少年犯罪、如何对待犯罪分子等几个方面。可以说，经过准备是可以在犯罪类话题中写出不错的文章来的。只是可惜很多同学放弃了这个可以得高分的机会，其实只要耐心准备一些常用的词汇和表达，如果碰到犯罪类话题，那还真是冲击高分的时刻。
　　犯罪类话题每年一般会出三到五次左右，今年目前只出现了一次，想要取得写作高分的考生需要去准备这个话题。首先，我们来看一下今年的这道题：
　　20130216 Some people think all lawbreakers should be sent to prison, while others believe that there are better alternatives. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
　　这是一道高频考题，考察的是关于如何对待犯罪分子的问题，是放到监狱，还是延长刑期，或者是接受教育和职业技能培训呢?请看历年相似的真题：
　　20080112Some people think the best way of reducing crime is to give longer prison sentences. Others, however, think there are other better ways to reduce crime. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
　　20080918 Putting criminals into prisons is not so effective in dealing with them. Instead, education and job training should be offered to them. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
　　20090917Some people think that all the lawbreakers should be sent into the jail, while others believe that they should also be made to do some work or learn some skills in the community. What is your opinion?
　　20120512Today prison is the most common solution for crime. But some people think that it would be a more effective way to provide them with better education to prevent them from becoming criminals. Do you agree or disagree?
