Wrting Sample 1. Education Should be free?

Answer might be.

In my opinion education should be free, there are a number of social and economy reasons for free education.

First of all education means that everyone can access schools and library resources. There are no restriction on access regardless of whether you are rich or poor. Everyone will be able to developed their reading and writing skill and as a result society will become more equal. There will be less social disadvantages.

Secondly, there are economic advantages to free education if everyone can developed their skill and knowledge, they will become more productive workers. This is good for the country’s economy. As it will make us more internationally competitive with other countries

Thirdly free education means that there will more social harmony, as people learn about each other, they will become more tolerant. A more society means there will be less social conflict.

In conclusion the social economy advantages of free education are overwhelming if people can developed their knowledge and skills they will become more tolerant more productive and society will become more egalitarian.


Capital punishment is the killing of a criminal for a crime that he has committed. Previously most countries employed this method of punishment but nowadays it is much less widely used. I personally do not believe that societies today should use capital punishment and I also believe that there are alternative punishments that can be used.

My main argument against capital punishment is that I believe we do not have the right to kill another human being regardless of the crime. I don't believe in the old religious maxim of "an eye for an eye." Modern societies shouldn't turn to such barbaric punishments.

Another argument against capital punishment is that people can be wrongly convicted and executed. If a man is in prison, he can be released if later proved not guilty. If he is dead, there is nothing that can be done. In the UK, a group of supposed terrorists were convicted of murder in Birmingham in the 1970s. They were proved innocent about 15 years later and released. If they had been executed, innocent people would have died.

There are alternative punishments available. For bad crimes prison life sentences can be given with criminals imprisoned for the rest of their lives. Also a lot of horrific crimes are committed by people who are mentally sick. These people are not responsible for their actions and can be kept safely and permanently in secure hospitals. Yes, this costs a lot more but I believe it is the duty of society to do this.

There are arguments for capital punishment. Many people feel its threat stops serious crime and that criminals deserve nothing less. It's cheaper and keeps the prisons manageable. I can understand this point of view but I cannot agree with it.

So, in conclusion, I don't believe in capital punishment, as there are less barbaric alternatives available. We can avoid horrific mistakes and make modern society a humane one.
