Bowlands Academy of Arts was established fiver years ago. The establishment has now been officially recognised by the Department of Education. A programme of short, intensive courses, as well as three-year degree courses, are offered to students. A range of examinations can be taken (by students) throughout the year. Students are instructed in small groups (by staff) and a personal tutor is assigned to every student. Accommodation in a hall of residence must be booked in advance (by anyone requiring it). A deposit needs to be enclosed with the enrolment form. The balance will be requested (by the Academy) before the course starts. The Academy needs to be informed immediately if students intend to withdraw from their course.

5 (Suggested answer)

One of the most important reasons behind criminal activity is the fact that the law is too lenient. Provided criminals do not go as far as to commit murder or a major robbery, it is likely that they will escape with an insignificant punishment, such as a warning. Even if the crime they commit is indeed serious, it is probable that they will receive a relatively short prison sentence and that this will be reduced in return for good behaviour. It is hardly surprising that crime is flourishing to the extent that it is.
