雅思写作小作文范文：

The three pie charts indicate significant disparities in the proportion of players in terms of age and gender and they also compare sales from a range of electronic games in South Korea in 2003.这三张饼图表明，在年龄和性别方面，参与者的比例存在显著差异，而且他们还比较了2003年韩国一系列电子游戏的销售情况。

It is evidently shown that the vast majority of players(77%) were under 35 years old, with those less than 18 years old and between 18 and 35 almost equally represented, constituting 38% and 39% respectively while less than a quarter of players were over 36 years old. Also striking to note is that males who occupied nearly three quarters tremendously outnumbered females with nearly 28%, roughly one third of their male counterparts.

很明显，绝大多数的玩家(77%)年龄在35岁以下，年龄在18岁以下，18岁到35岁之间的人几乎都是相同的，分别占38%和39%，而在36岁以上的玩家中，这一比例还不到四分之一。同样值得注意的是，男性占据了近3/4的比例，远远超过了女性，接近28%，大约是男性的三分之一。

雅思写作大作文范文

It has become an international norm to send criminals into prison in order to deal with the rising crime rate which appears to become an increasingly concerning issue in contemporary society. However, others claim that education might be a better means to prevent people from degenerating into law violators and I personally agree almost entirely with this statement.

将罪犯送进监狱是一种国际规范，目的是为了应对日益上升的犯罪率，而这一现象在当代社会日益引起关注。然而，另一些人则认为教育可能是一种更好的方法来防止人们堕落为违反法律的人，而我个人几乎完全同意这种说法。

There is no denying that prison serves as a deterring approach for potential offenders and can help to rehabilitate them. Many inmates have the opportunity to study while they are doing time, contributing to the fact that many never re-offend when they are released.

不可否认的是，监狱是潜在罪犯的一种威慑手段，可以帮助他们恢复健康。许多犯人有机会在他们做时间的时候学习，这使得很多人在被释放的时候不会再犯。

However, life in jail is far too comfortable for prisoners especially for those homeless or unemployed. For example, many inmates have access to not only the bare necessities of life but also luxuries such as televisions, computers and sports facilities and so on. In other words, spending time behind the bar is more like being in a holiday camp. There is considerable evidence suggesting that in Japan, seniors aged over 70 years old would deliberately steal something in a supermarket in order to go to jail where they can be sheltered from poverty and loneliness.

然而，监狱里的生活对囚犯来说太过舒适，尤其是那些无家可归的人或失业的人。例如，许多囚犯不仅可以获得生活必需品，还可以享受电视、电脑和体育设施等奢侈品。换句话说，在酒吧度过的时间更像是在度假。有相当多的证据表明，在日本，年龄超过70岁的老人会故意在超市偷东西，以便进监狱，在那里他们可以免受贫穷和孤独的庇护。

Another drawback of serving a sentence is that a large number of prisoners are not actually a danger to society, exemplified by shoplifters who are often locked up in the same cells as murders, rapists and violent criminals, thus in such a circumstance, bullying might occur among culprits. What is worse is that petty criminals may even learn how to commit more serious crimes when they are inside. By contrast, education plays a more significant role in that many people perpetrated crimes because they had little knowledge about the law and lacked basic survival skills. Therefore, what is more urgent for them is to enhance their legal awareness and practical skills such as driving, cooking and repairing machines.

服刑的另一个缺点是，大量的囚犯实际上并不是对社会的危害，例如那些经常被关在同一牢房里的人，比如谋杀、强奸犯和暴力罪犯，因此在这种情况下，可能会在罪犯中出现暴力行为。更糟糕的是，当小罪犯们在里面时，他们甚至可以学习如何犯下更严重的罪行。相比之下，教育在许多人犯罪的过程中扮演了更重要的角色，因为他们对法律知之甚少，缺乏基本的生存技能。因此，对他们来说，更迫切的是提高他们的法律意识和实践技能，如驾驶、烹饪和修理机器。

In conclusion, although it is a common belief that prison is the best way to punish criminals, I believe it is not appropriate for everyone and it is not necessary in the majority of cases. Personally, of crucial importance is teaching them about survival skills and law-abiding consciousness, which can be achieved by education.(字数 369 words)

总之，尽管人们普遍认为监狱是惩罚罪犯的最好方式，但我认为这并不适用于所有人，而且在大多数情况下都是不必要的。就个人而言，至关重要的是教给他们生存技能和守法意识，这可以通过教育来实现。(字数369字)
