2017最新雅思-口語法律類話題答題方法
關于law的話題(a new law or a good law)在近兩年的各次考試當中出現頻率是比較高的,這個同時也是讓很多考生感覺頭疼的話題。
題目:
Describe a good law in your country.
You should say:
what the law is
how you first learned about this law
who benefits from this law (or, who is affected by this law)
and explain why you think this is a good law.
原因之一就在于很多雅思考試學生本身對法律不熟,能用中文去解釋一項法律都做不到,更不用說用英文來描述了。畢竟中國現代法律的發展和健全比西方晚了很多,所以很多考生對法律的陌生是可以理解的。但是這種想法限制了我們的思維,使考生們先入為主地認為自己不可能回答好這一個話題,這種想法在口語回答過程中是不可取的。畢竟每個人無法對所有的話題都有深入的了解,但這并不意味著遇到生僻抽象的話題就會得低分。接下來,就從多方面為大家講解,可供參考。
一、如何理解題目
提到法律,很多考生第一感覺是類似于憲法、勞動法、刑法等很莊嚴、涵蓋范圍很廣的法律。如果按這種思路來準備這個話題的話,確實會受自己有限知識量以及專業詞匯不足的限制。
其實law到底是什么,韋氏高階英語詞典的解釋是:
1、A. The whole system or set of rules made by the government of a town, state, country, etc.
B. A particular kind of law.
2、A rule made by the government of a town, state, country, etc.
從以上定義可以看出,a law可以是一系列的或者單項的法律或法則,可以是國家、州、城市制定的。所以考生們可參考的范圍就擴大了,既可以是憲法這樣的大法,也可以是合同法、移民法、專利法等相對比較單項的法,更可以是當地政府制定的某些政策法規,例如獨生子女政策、房屋限購政策、限制環境污染政策等。
以下的法律名稱可以供大家選擇和參考:
New Labor law 新勞動法
Traffic Laws 交通法
Environmental Protection law 環境保護法
Taxation law 稅務法
New plastic-bags standards 塑料袋使用規定
One Child Policy 獨生子女政策
Anti-smoking Law 禁煙法
二、如何組織語言
選好了描述哪個法律之后,接下來就要回答“What the law is”這個問題。對于廣大非法律專業的考生來說,不需要很深入的描述,只需要回答法律頒布或實施時間、主要內容以及頒布的主要目的就可以了。
Ø New plastic-bags standards 塑料袋使用規定
New plastic-bags standards went to effect from June, 2008. New standards forbid supermarkets and shops from handing out colorized plastic bags. Authorities say those bags are mainly made of wasted plastics which will pollute the environment. The standards also have other industrial requirements. For example, plastic bags should have a thickness of no less than 0.025 millimeter, so that they can be reused. Enterprises fail to conform to standards will face severe punishment.
Ø Anti-smoking Law 禁煙法
Anti-smoking Law became effective in May, 2011. It bans tobacco smoking in workplaces and other public spaces in door. The health consequences of the tobacco epidemic are very serious in China and smoking has become the top killer of the Chinese population. Our government is working on making all public spaces—including work sites and transportation options—tobacco-free for the well-being of Chinese citizens.
Ø New labour law 新勞動法
The new law greatly limits the use of short-term contracts. The new law allows employers to assign only two consecutive fixed-term contracts. After that the employer must offer the employee an open-ended contract.
The law imposes severe restrictions on the use of probationary periods in the employment relationship. Probationary periods are permitted, but the length is limited. Furthermore, an employee can only be subject to a single probationary period by a single employer. Wages during the probationary period must also be no less than 80% of the contract wage.
三、法律帶來的好處
至于法律帶來的好處,可以是對整個社會帶來的效益,也可以是對個人以及某些社會團體帶來的意義,甚至是對我們的地球、環境帶來的好處。
Ø New plastic-bags standards 塑料袋使用規定:
China's new standard is to change consumers' shopping habits. If everyone can use just one plastic bag a day, he or she can save around 300 bags a year. And that would mean as much as a 2-thirds reduction in the use of plastic bags for the entire country. Mainly aimed at protecting the environment. Stop the "White pollution".
Ø Road Traffic Safety Law 道路交通安全法:
It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. Drunken driving may cause traffic accident and death. Strictly abide by traffic law will guarantee a safe driving. Only Stricter Traffic Laws Can Prevent Accidents. The strict law about road traffic safety helps creating a safe, harmonious, orderly and convenient traffic environment through which the happiness of people can be improved.
Ø One Child Policy 獨生子女政策:
The one child policy is an effective way of reducing the population of China, which is one of the largest one all over the world. Limiting the growth of population is favorable to economic growth. It can also release the burden of protecting the environment. One-child policy has helped the fight against global warming by avoiding 300 million births. That means, without one child policy in China, we can hardly have the chance to enjoy all the affluence and living comfort we enjoy now.
Ø New labor law 新勞動法:
Chinese workers are increasingly aware of their rights. These laws seem more favorable to workers. The New labor law has been actively publicized and employees are well informed about their rights under the new law, trying to redress the balance of power between workers and employers. For example, mines and construction sites have been getting a lot of attention for several years now. Workers were clearly being abused. All of this represented a source of social instability, and I think they just decided they couldn't afford it. So they decided to get at one root cause: the lack of contracts. Implementation and enforcement are traditionally the weakest points of labor law in China.
