Hello! Could you check my ielts task 2 essay, please? Thanks in advance :)
Question: Some people who have been in prison become good citizens later, and it is often argued that these are the best people to talk to teenagers about the dangers of committing a crime. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Most people believe that the best way of explaining the dangers of commiting a crime to adolescents is meeting them with the old prisoners who changed their lives in a positive way after they reached their freedom. I totally agree with it because they are the real examples with their experience about being in the prison and the life after prison.
Firstly, by talking with old prisoners, teenagers get chance to listen to real life stories about prison which are more serious than they imagine. In addition, meeting with people who had experience of being in the prison before is a better solution to gain young people’s trust. For example, It might be a good way to visit teenagers in their highschool and give them suggestion to protect themselves from the most common crimes around them such as driving after they drink alcohol.
Secondly, inspite of being in the prison is difficult, there is a significant difference in the people’s lives after they are released. It is certain that living in the jail prevents people from many valuable things such as sharing time with their family, school or work. All these values could be different if those people didn’t commit crime. To give an example, it is difficult to find a job for an old prisoner, therefore it always affects his/her life and decreases the life quality.
In conclusion, I believe that teenagers realize importance of preventing themselves from crime seriously when they face to real examples, and it reminds them that they need to be a good citizen during their lives.
