本题是2012年5月12日的原题重现。如果说2017年雅思写作考试对2014年情有独钟，2018年似乎返祖现象更为严重，已经考过的很多场都是在重复2013年甚至更早的原题，这给我们的复习备考带来了一定的难度。但万变不离其宗，我们备考雅思写作，首先是要清楚其要求，然后按照要求去逐步落实，而不是把全部希望寄托在押题上。
看到本次题目，大家首先要弄清楚，题目要求我们讨论的观点是什么。这里，提出了解决犯罪问题的两个措施，一是监狱，二是教育，问的是教育是不是有效，或者教育是不是比监狱更有效。很明显，监狱和教育都是解决犯罪问题的办法，而且很难比较哪个更有效，但两者在解决犯罪问题时所起的功能还是不同的：监狱更多的是一种补救和威慑，而教育则是预防。因此，本题就可以沿着这个思路，去论证监狱如何起到一种补救和威慑的作用，而教育如何可以预防人们犯罪。

In many parts of the world, people who have violated the law are put into prison, which is a very effective way of preventing them committing more crimes. However, many experts believe that better education is probably an even more effective way of addressing the problem of crime. I would suggest that both prison and education are important and each plays a different role in crime control.
在世界上许多地方，违反法律的人被投入监狱，这是防止他们犯罪的一种非常有效的方式。然而，许多专家认为，更好的教育可能是解决犯罪问题的一种更有效的方式。我认为，监狱和教育都是重要的，而且在犯罪控制方面都扮演着不同的角色。
Prison is certainly a place where criminals can be made to understand what wrong they have done to other people and why what they have done before is not socially acceptable. In this way, these criminals will have a better chance to come back to normal life. On top of the remedial function, prison can serve as a deterrent for those with an inclination to crime. The likelihood of losing freedom in prison can most effectively stop them from doing harms to the society and other individuals.
监狱当然是一个罪犯可以被用来理解他们对其他人做了什么错事的地方，为什么他们以前做过的事情在社会上是不可接受的。通过这种方式，这些罪犯将有更大的机会回归正常生活。除了补救功能，监狱还可以作为对犯罪倾向的威慑。在监狱中失去自由的可能性最有效地阻止了他们对社会和其他个人的伤害。
Better education can also bring down the overall crime rate in any community, and it is the most desirable preventive measure against crime. To start with, education improves people’s moral standards which enable them to tell right from wrong so that they will build a robust inner wall against any antisocial behaviors. More importantly, people with better education are always able to find a satisfying career that will reward them with a decent life, and they will never think of committing any crime.
更好的教育也能降低任何社区的犯罪率，这是预防犯罪的最可取的预防措施。首先，教育改善了人们的道德标准，使他们能够辨别是非，从而建立起一套坚固的内墙来对抗任何反社会行为。更重要的是，受过良好教育的人总能找到一份满意的工作，能给他们体面的生活，而且他们永远不会想到犯罪。
In conclusion, prison with its remedial and deterrent function and education with its preventive function are both needed in order to make this world a safer place for all of us to live in.(273 words)
总之，监狱具有矫正和威慑功能，教育具有预防功能，这是为了使这个世界成为我们所有人生活的更安全的地方。
