本次小作文是饼状的题目，难度不是很大，大作文是辩论型的犯罪类话题。总的来说，这次两次的写作题目都没有出乎意料，都是常考的题型。

Task 1（小作文）

题目解释：两个饼图，描述不同年龄段学生选择DU大学的原因。一个饼里有六个类别，分别说的是多少百分比的学生选择DU大学的原因，如设施和课程等等。此次饼图为静态的图形，每个饼代表的是一个年龄段的学生（18-24岁和24+）

要点分析：此次小作文应该不算很难，大家只需要把常用的饼图短语正常的使用就可以了，当然还要有适当的比较哦。在解题时最好把六个类别分类，可以按照值的大小或变化的多少来分。

Task 2（大作文）

真题：Young people who commit serious crimes should be punished in the same way as adults. Agree or disagree?

题型：辩论型

类别：犯罪类话题

题目解释：年轻人犯了重罪是否应该和成人接受的惩罚是一样的？

分段解析：

1.Introduction

大家首先需要想想为什么会有这种建议。不难看出主要的原因就是为了减少青少年的犯罪率，所以我们可以在第一段里写现在青少年犯罪率攀升（crime rate），为了遏制这种情况有人提出题目里说的东西（大家要改题哦。最简单的方式就是把动词punish改称名词punishment）。注意：大家在写开头段时不需要想一些无聊的套句，如随着社会的发展等等。

2.Positive sides

思路：先反着想——为什么青少年受到的处罚比成人轻？因为他们年幼无知。所以为了反驳次论点我们说青少年现在接受的关于法律的教育很多或很深刻，犯罪时他们是知道自己要面对的后果的。当然严重的惩罚也会对他人有个警示的作用。

关键词句推荐：be aware of. Realization. consequences. Profound. Be a deterrent to.

3.Negative sides

思路：大家需要把重点放在“年轻”二字上。设身处地的想想如果你是十七八岁的少年，受到这么严重的处罚会是何等心情？所以年轻人需要有一个重生的机会。此外，不是所有的青少年都有受教育的机会。那些因为贫穷而没有受到教育的孩子怎么办？此时大家想想美国贫民窟的黑人孩子。

关键词句推荐： rehabilitate. Deny sb of sth. Living conditions. Leniency.

4. Conclusion

表达自己的观点，并总结一下自己不同意的观点及解决方案。

参考范文

In many countries, thecrime rateof young people is rising drastically, and in order to put a stop to it, people suggest they receive the same punishment as adults do.

One of the reasons for such idea is that teenagers and young adults in their early 20s in modern society receive education about the law throughout their school life, so they are quite aware of the consequences of their actions before committing any crimes just as their older counterparts do. As a result, serious offenses such as manslaughter, rape or robbery must not go without severe penalty, which is both done in fairness and sending a strong signal to the society that anyone, regardless of age, should take considerable account of what their deeds can entail.

However, critics argue that young offenders are deprived of opportunities to be rehabilitated. For instance, a 15 year old being given a sentence of 20 years in prison may find it extremely hard to restart a lifeonce released, because he or she may be rejected by any job interview for the criminal record and have no skills necessary for self-employment. It is possible that prejudice and discrimination can lead to a second-time offense. Besides, leniency should also be shown to those who commit serious crimes without the knowledge of the law, such as teenagers of poverty-stricken families that can neither afford education nor be free of the negative influences around them. In a word, convictions should give priority to special cases as mentioned above over the gravity of the crime.  

I personally believe that young people should be given the same punishment as adults if they break the law in a serious manner, but there ought to be some flexibility in treating cases of different natures.
