雅思口語話題卡解析：A Good Law
同學普遍認為5月的新題中，法律題最難，不知道如何開口。其實素材還是很多的，下面精講一下。含前期孫濤老師版《新勞動法》資源。
① What the law is? 什么法律/規定/政策?
Tips: Policy is a kind of law in the West, but breaking this law would be called a misdemeanor instead of felony. For the purposes of the Speaking test, I think it would be suitable to use the One Child Policy as an example of a law because examiners would not know the difference! ----Chris Green
注意：在西方，政策和規定也是法律的一種，唯一不同的是，違反這種法律被稱作輕罪而不是重罪。對于口語考試，如果舉獨生子女政策作為法律的一種，是可以的。因為考官不會知道其中的差別。
取材：
New Labour law 新勞動法
Traffic Laws 交通法
Environmental Protection law 環境保護法

實施 + 時間：

Go into effect
Become effective
Take effect
New Labour law 新勞動法：Jan, 2008
New plastic-bags standards 塑料袋使用規定： June, 2008

規定，說明：states...says...
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 LCL 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.
New plastic-bags standards 塑料袋使用規定
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.
④ And explain how good you think this law is. 該法律/規定/政策的好處。
New labour law 新勞動法
Chinese workers are increasingly aware of their rights
these laws seem more favorable to workers
The LCL has been actively publicized and employees are well informed about their rights under the new law.
