Paragraph about the purpose of prisons:
On the one hand, criminals do need to be punished in some way. A person who commits a 
crime must learn that unlawful actions have consequences. Prison sentences 
punish offenders because they lose their freedom, and are separated from family and friends. In this 
way, prison acts as a deterrent to make people think carefully before breaking the law. Last year in 
the UK, many people were given a prison sentence for rioting, and hopefully this punishment 
will deter them from similar behaviour in future. 
Analysis:

The paragraph contains 5 sentences, with a total of 85 words. This is the kind of length I suggest 
aiming for. 

The first sentence is short and simple. We often call this type of sentence a 'topic sentence' because it 
introduces the topic of the paragraph. 

Sentences 2, 3 and 4 develop the main idea in a logical, step-by-step way: crime has consequences - 
loss of freedom is the punishment - this stops people from breaking the law. 

Sentence 5 contains a real example. 

Remember that good vocabulary is the key to a high score. I've underlined the best words and 
phrases in the paragraph.

IELTS Writing Task 2: both sides or one side? 
Can you see the difference between the two questions below?
A) Explain the positives and negatives of this development. 
B) Is this a positive or negative development? 
and these two questions:
A) What are the advantages and disadvantages? 
B) Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? 
and these two questions:
A) Discuss both views and give your opinion. 
B) To what extent do you agree or disagree? 
Answer:
The difference is that for all of the (A) questions you must explain both sides of the argument


Compiled by Diyorbek Hayitmurodov ielts-simon.com Page 54 
whereas the (B) questions can be answered by giving both sides or by supporting only one side, 
depending on the view that you express in your introduction. 
This is still the most common confusion that students ask me about. Make sure you understand the 
difference between the questions above; if you're still unsure, look through all of my task 2 lessons to 
see further advice and examples.
