Task：Young people who commit crimes should be treated in the same way as

adults by authorities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Sample answer：

It is sometimes argued that young lawbreakers should be tried as adults for

crimes. I personally believe that this is partly reasonable.

On the one hand, those who participate in violent crimes should not be

treated differently than adult offenders. This is because most crimes, such as

rape or murder, are thoughtful, deliberate and cunning in its planning and

execution. If our courts trend toward a more lenien官方真题Officialsition, then the related

laws and punishment will not have a deterring effect on teenagers. As a result,

teenagers are likely to commit horrible crimes since they are aware that they

have legal protection. What’s worse, these teens might recommit after they are

released from jails. In some cases, the lighter sentencing might also lead to

resentment towards the judicial system as victims might argue that these young

offenders do not confess what they have done. This could also result in

insecurity in our society eventually.

On the other hand, the circumstances of a crime and its motivation should be

taken into consideration when it comes to juvenile delinquency. For example,

because of distress and hunger, some teens may turn to stealing food or robbery

during a period of famine. Under this circumstance, harsh punishment, such as

long-term jail might not be the best solution. In my view, most of the young

offenders lack parenting and self-discipline, which would mean that other

alternatives, such as community service and rehabilitation might be better

alternatives for them.

In conclusion, I feel that it is vitally important for judges and state

legislators to ensure the justice equality regardless of the criminal’s age.
