While the average house prices increased slightly in two cities Madrid ( Spain ) and Frankfurt ( Germany ) by about 1.5 percent and 2 percent respectively .
As far as the next period ( 1996 – 2002 ) is concerned , it is clear that the average house prices decreased only in Tokyo ( Japan ) by 5 percent . In contrast the average house prices increased in the rest of cities . In New York it increased consideraply by 5 percent , in Madrid it increased slightly by 4 percent , in Frankfurt it increased by 2 percent .
London has the largest increase in the average house price over the 6 year period from 1996 to 2002 as it increased dramtically by 11 percent .
All in all , there are a wide differences in house prices between the five cities which illustrated in this chart . These differences may be a result of the number of population or the number of houses required in a certain city .

《剑七》议论文 :
Topic : Some people belive that there should be fixed punishments for each type of crime . Others , however , argue that the circumstances of an individual crime , and the motivation for committing it , should always be taken into account when deciding on the punishment .
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion .
Answer : Band 7.5
Fixing punishments for each type of crime has been a debatable issue . There are many arguments supporting both views , those for and those against fixed punishments .
On the one hand , fixed punishments will have a deterring effect on society . Individuals knowing that they will be subject to a certain punishment if they are convicted with a given crime , will reconsider committing this act in the first place .
This deterring effect also leads to social stability and security , through minimising the number of crimes committed .
If people knew they would be able to convince the court or the jury of a reason for having committed the crime they are accused of , penal decisions would be largely arbitrary . This would result into criminals getting away with their crimes and into a high level of injustice caused by the subjective approach of different courts .
On the other hand , taking the circumstances of a crime and its motivation into consideration is a prerequisite for establishing and ensuring justice and equity .
A person killing in self-defense can not be compared to a serial killer , moving from one victim to the next . In my opinion an intermediary position between both solutions is the perfect way to establish and ensure justice and equity .
There has to be fixed punishment for all crimes . However , criminal laws have to provide for a minimum and maximum for the punishment and the laws also have to foresee certain cases of exemptions .
An example for setting minimum and maximum penalties is competition law where a person being held liable of a crime under this law will be convicted to pay a fine , according to the harm caused by the violation and the profit gained by the violator through committing the crime .
As for the exemptions , in some countries the law exempts thiefs stealing food during a a period of famine taking into consideration the distress and hunger .
Also , a person killing in self-defense will be exempted from punishment .
