【题目解析】

题目大意：对公共财产设施，如房屋、雕塑等，造成损害的人，应当被要求做社区服务作为惩罚，比如打扫公园，而不是其他形式的惩罚，如罚款或关监狱。你是否同意？

【难点】本题是很细节的犯罪话题分析，观点虽然比较容易确定，但论证的展开难度较大，需要考生对犯罪话题的词汇搭配有积累，同时对犯罪惩治有基本的分析思路。

【写作思路】

开头段：引出公共财产破坏的惩罚有争议，表明观点：惩罚应该是多样的，不局限于社区服务，根据破坏的程度有不同量刑。

主体第一段：论述一些轻度的没有严重影响的损坏，可以通过社区服务来惩罚；对少年犯也是一种教育。

主体第二段：论述一些有必要进行罚款和加重惩罚的情形，如严重损坏、文物损坏、纵火等。

结尾段：总结惩治公共财产损害的整体思路—考虑损坏的形式和严重程度、财产的性质等。

【参考范文】

In modern society, although most people treat public property with respect, it is not uncommon to see damages done to buildings, statues or public facilities. When it comes to how the punishment should be measured, some people suggest that offenders do community service to make up for their doing, instead of fine or imprisonment. In my opinion, however, offences of damage to property can vary in seriousness, thus a series of punitive measures will be needed.

For minor incidents of damage where replacement costs are minimal, light punishment, such as community work, should suffice. For instance, if a person is accused of scratching a garden bench, or drawing on walls of buildings, he can be required to repair the damage or clean up graffiti as compensation. This form of punishment can also be applied to underaged offenders who are not criminally liable, because for adolescents, participating in community work can be educational, whereas heavy penalty is likely to bring out rebellious reaction. In short, serving the community as a punishment would be sufficient for inconsequential property damages.

However, legal sanction needs to be considered when offenders have caused damage of great value to public property. For one thing, financial penalty can be justified when the damage is excessive, let alone property destruction. It would also be reasonable to charge a person who intentionally leaves a mark on heritage properties or archaeological sites, even if the wreckage is insignificant. For another, serious damages involving dangerous criminality, such as arson, should be prosecuted by law, with more deliberate sentencing. These offences will not only cause permanent impairment to public property itself, but also pose risks for people's life.

In summary, punitive measures regarding damage to public property assets would need to take into account of many factors, including the level and form of damage, the nature of property and offenders. Therefore, community service, financial punishment, and imprisonment will all be needed in different situations.
