---------- Question 2 ----------
 
You should spend about 
40
minutes on this task. 
Write about the following topic: 
Each year, the crime rate increases. 
What are the causes of crime and what could be done to prevent this rise in 
criminal activity? 
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own 
knowledge or experience.
You should write at least 
250
words. 
Example 1
Nowadays, criminality in the world increases from year to year. Crimes, such as 
stealing or even killing are happening even in the richest countries. But what are the 
causes behind this crime rate increase and what are the solutions to prevent it? 
There might be multiple reasons why this is happening, but I guess the most frequent 
are money and injustice. Even the richest countries have an enormous gap between 
rich and poor people. These poor people sometimes don’t even have a choice and 
they have to steal
,
so they can feed their family, sometimes even killing or selling 
drugs. 
Secondly, it is really difficult to gain
a
place in our society and it is also easy to lose it. 
The problem is that the requirements for people (for jobs, universities, etc.) are 
sometimes too high and not everyone can become what they 
have always
wanted to 
be. This might bring to a big disappointment and bad choices in life. 
I think the best solution for this is humanity. We have to help each other and 
entertain together. 
Helping
our relatives and friends might be the best thing to do in 
case they are having a black line in their lives because it could happen to us as well. 
Help
ing
and understand
ing
each other could bring us out of any problem or even not 
creat
e
one.
