A类小作文

今天考察的题型是比较简单、常规的表格。

题目 表格

The number of people taking part in a wildlife survey in Britain between2001 and 2009.

在表格中， 我们一般是从两方面分析，即横、纵两个方向来看图。写的时候，我们需要注意的两点是比较和归类或者总结趋势。当然这两点，从本质上讲和我们的动态图是一样的。

但是，表格因为给出的数据较多，不如柱状图，饼图等直观。所以如果在表格图中，我们不进行数据的归类，那往往文章会显得凌乱。

这就告诉我们，首先要从横纵上面看懂表格，其次要对表格里的数据进行归类。

Introduction

Para 1

In recent years, the record of crime rate has been constantly renewed. Agrowing number of people have begun to challenge against the existing practiceof sending criminals to prison. They argue that the law offenders should bepunished to do something for the public. It is quite natural that people seldomreach a total agreement on such a controversial issue.

Body

Para 2

Some people advocate that we should let criminals do something else aspunishment. In the first place, they can get better reclamation in this way.Doing something for society is a good measure, which not only punishes thecriminals but also encourages them to begin a new life as well. Another reasonis due to the limited jail space. Letting criminals do something outside jailsdecreases the cost of the government. Finally, the imprisonment of criminalscannot scare off the criminals. Up to now, there is no evidence showing thedirect link between the implementation of imprisoning criminals and the declineof crime rate.

Para 3

Some others approve of the imprisonment of criminals. First of all, itcan ensure a safe living environment to the law-abiding citizens. For criminalslike thieves, robbers, rapists or even murders, it is improper or evendangerous to let them out of jails, because they still pose threats to our society.Second, it is the best deterrent to those potential criminals. It will makewould-be criminals think twice before they commit a crime. Last but not least,it is a great spiritual consolation to the victims. Those who suggest settingcriminals free lay too much emphasis on the rights of criminals. They ignorethe rights of victim.

Conclusion

Para 4

All the above opinions make sense. After careful consideration, i am infavour of the latter view that we should retain the practice of sendingcriminals to prison. It can guarantee the safety of citizens. It can reduce thecrime rate. Furthermore, it serves a punishment for the merciless offenderswhile a comfort to the innocent victims.
