The abolition of capital punishment in England in November 1965 was welcomed by most people with humane and progressive ideas. To them it seemed a departure from feudalism, from the cruel pre-Christian spirit of revenge: an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Many of these people think differently now. Three unarmed policemen have been killed in London by bandits who shot them down in cold blood. This crime has drawn attention to the fact that since, the abolition of capital punishment crime - and especially murder - has been on increase throughout Britain. Today, therefore, public opinion in Britain has changed. People who before, also in Parliament, stated that capital punishment was not a deterrent to murder - for there have always been murders in all countries with or without the law of execution - now feel that killing the assassin is the lesser of two evils. Capital punishment, they think, may not be the ideal answer, but it is better than nothing, especially when, as in England, a sentence of "lifelong" imprisonment (a life sentence, as it is called) only lasts eight or nine years.
+All this is very controversial. And all the arguments for and against can be refuted in practice. The problem remains - the problem of how to prevent .murders. Some murders are committed by criminals evading arrest, by insane or mentally disturbed people, by cold-blooded sadists completely devoid of all human feelings. The important thing in the prevention of murder is to eliminate as far as possible the weapons and instruments, the guns and knives, with which these crimes are committed, and furthermore to stop the dangerous influence of violence in books, films, television and other mass media, from which so many criminals derive their "inspiration".Murder

Ну вот письмо написала на русском ,и перевала на англискии язык!!) можете я подумать что я скопирована из интернета но нет ) Если не верити я больше вам не могу
Дорогой Алекс,
за твое письмо. Приятно было получить весточку от тебя.
Я хотел бы рассказать тебе о моих выходных. Мой последний уйкенд не был однообразный. В пятницу я остался дома и смотрел телевизор. Пришел мой друг и мы вечером смотрели фильм на компьютере. Этот фильм назывался «Слишком быстро, слишком яростно - 3", и это было очень интересно. В воскресенье я отдыхал весь день дома. Утром я вспомнил, что у меня было домашнее задание, поэтому я сделал его. Вечером смотрел телевизор, а потом пошел спать.
Я думаю, что мой отдых зависит от сезона, потому что зимой я меньше гуляю на улице, чем летом. Летом есть много развлечений!
Я предпочитаю проводить свои выходные со своими родителями и друзьями, потому что мы с ними много веселимся. Я люблю свои выходные и свою семью!
напиши о твоих выходных.
С наилучшими пожеланиями,
Иван
Dear Alex,
Thank you for your letter. It was nice to hear from you.
I would like to tell you about my weekend. My last weekend was not monotonous. On Friday, I was staying at home and watching TV. My friend arrived and we were watching a film on the computer in the evening. This movie was called "Too fast too furious 3" and it was very interesting. On Sunday, I was relaxing all day at home. In the morning, I remembered that I had homework; so I did it. In the evening, I was watching TV and afterwards I went to bed.
I think my rest depends on the season, because in winter I walk less than in summer. In summer there are a lot of entertainments!
I prefer to spend my weekends with my parents and friends because I have a lot of fun with them. I love my weekend and my family!
