A long time ago there was a young shepherd boy who tended his sheep at the foot of a mountain
near a dark forest.
It was rather lonely for him all day, so he thought upon a plan by which he could get a little company
and some excitement. He cheated the villagers. He rushed down towards the village calling out ”wolf, wolf,”
and the villagers came out to meet him and some of them stopped with him for considerable time. This
pleased the boy so much. It made all of the villagers angry.
But shortly after this a wolf actually came out from the forest, and began to worry the sheep, the boy
of course cried out, “wolf, wolf” louder than before. But this time the villagers thought the boy was again
deceiving them. Consequently, nobody came to help him.
The air is filled with tiny particles known as ‘vapor’. Vapor is actually the gaseous from water. Vapor is part of air. The air
around us is constantly moving because the air near the surface of the earth is hotter and lighter. This is why this air rises. The
air higher up in the sky is cold and heavy, so it sinks. The rising of hot air and the sinking of hot water cause the air to move .
when the hot air rises to certain level, the vapor presents in it, cools and changes to water. This is known as “condentation”.
When the water particles are too heavy for the air to carry. The air is said to be over saturated. The water particles then fall as
rain.

Capital punishment is one of the most controversial subjects to be discussed today. This controversy is
caused by so many things all over the world having so many different views about it. Capital punishment
happens when someone is put to death for a crime, for example murder or drug trafficking. Many people think
capital punishment should be reinstated in Britain, but there are just as many people who think that the criminal
system is better the way it is.
One important argument against the death penalty is that sometimes an innocent person is put to death.
If capital punishment is used, the authorities must therefore have evidence beyond the shadow of any doubt that
they have accused the correct person. Furthermore, capital punishment removes all possibility for a person who
has done something seriously wrong to be able to change and to be rehabilitated.
Another strong point against the capital punishment is that two wrongs do not make a right. Killing a
victim, for instance, and then being sentenced to death does not suddenly make everything all right or make
things better. A poor, helpless victim’s life has been stolen from him, but killing the murderer will not bring the
victim back.
Nevertheless, those who are in favor of the death penalty have many points with which to justify their
stance. Most importantly it punishes the criminal by doing to him what he did to others. It acts as a form of
revenge for the victim’s family by letting them know that the criminal has felt some of the pain he inflicted on
another.
Furthermore, capital punishment could act as a deterrent to anyone who ever thought about committing
certain crimes, because he would know that when he was found guilty, the death penalty awaited him. It can also
save money because, instead of the criminal being kept in person for the rest of his life, he is killed.
After weighing up the arguments for and against capital punishment, I have come to the conclusion that
I am for it, and that it is a pity it was abolished in Britain 30 or 50 years ago.
