law这一话题被学生们戏称为杀手级别话题，因为大多数学生对这一话题的背景知识和相关材料准备的不足，导致在考场中发挥不出自己应有的水平．其实法律这一话题，只要掌握相关的词汇以及简单例子自然轻松搞定．

真题还原：

Describe a law in your country.
You should say
what the law is
what type of law it is (or, what kind of behaviour this law seeks to regulate)
how good (how necessary or effective or how suitable) you think this law is

And explain how this law affects people.

例文：

The law that I think is good is the plastic-bag usage law which took effect on June 1st 2008. Plastic bags are no longer offered for free when shopping. You now need to either bring your own bag or pay for a plastic bag. I think it is a great law because it aims to protect the environment by reducing white pollution.

I remember the day the law took effect. It was the weekend and I was at the supermarket buying food for the week. I normally try to do all my shopping during the weekend, because I don’t have time during the week to go to the supermarket. I got to the check-out counter with a full basket of food. The check-out woman asked if I had a bag or if I wanted to purchase a bag. I had completely forgotten about the new law! I ended up having to purchase a bag, but instead of buying a plastic bag I opted to buy a reusable canvas bag. Though it was more expensive, I still use that same bag every time I go shopping.

It pleases me to see more and more people bringing their own shopping bags with them to the super market since the law took effect last year. It just goes to show that people really do care about our environment.

New labour law

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
　　
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.

And explain how good you think this law is.

New labour law
　
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.
　　
try 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.

New plastic-bags standards :

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".
