Describe a good law in your country. You should say: what it is how you know about it what people think about this law and explain why you think that it is a good law. [You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish. ] Sample Answer 1:
As a citizen of the United States of America, I am aware of some excellent laws which ensure social justice, human rights, prevent influential people to use their power and make the USA one of the safest countries in the world. ‘Fair Housing Act’ is a law that I think is quite a significant and excellent law and for this cue card topic, I would like to talk about it. The Fair Housing Act was first adopted in 1968 and it has gone through several amendments up until now. This law was implemented to ensure fair housing policy and to eliminate the discrimination on rent or sell for any property in the USA. The legislation was in place to make it illegal for anyone to refuse to sell, rent or make housing available to someone based on their race, colour, sex, religion, country of origin, family status, or handicap. The Fair Housing Act also protects citizens in mortgage landing circumstances, making it illegal for anyone to discriminate when appraising property or require different fees or contacts of someone just because of their race, colour, national origin or religion. I first learned about this law from an assignment one of our teachers gave us during our second term in the college. We were supposed to complete a lengthy and thorough assignment on housing rent discrimination in Michigan state. As part of the assignment, I had to study the acts and laws related to housing rent and property sell. Later on, I read a newspaper editorial that explained some unfairness on renting houses in the USA and how laws prohibit it. I think most of the people believe that this is a vital law in place to reduce racism and social prejudice. For some people, it is quite a life-saving law. Most of my friends think that this is quite an important law in place. I personally believe that this law protects thousands of US citizens to be unfairly treated while renting or purchasing a property. This act ensures the equal rights of the US citizens and maintains the social just. Laws are meant to establish the fact that all human beings are equal and they should never be discriminated due to their economic conditions, sex, race, social status, country of origin, religion colour, and this law I am talking about perfectly reflects this important issue and makes housing rules fair. Without this law, there would have been widespread discrimination on property renting and selling. Doubtlessly this is one of the most important laws in our country.
Model Answer 2:
I think all laws are good because they all are aimed to bring good for a country and its citizens except, of course, some “unruly” and “pathological law violators” would always try to disregard them at the expense of greater benefits. Anyway, today, I would like talk about one such good law which was introduced and passed in our parliament in the year of 2016 in order to effectively deal with the systematic challenges which are plaguing the road transport sector in India.
The name of the bill is the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill 2016 which I first came to know about in July 2016. This bill has a number of provisions which include a hefty increase in the fines for traffic rules violators, cancelling the registration of motor vehicles, sending unruly drivers to jail, and improving services for the disabled people because of suffering fatal injuries in road accidents. For example, driving with a disqualified license, which attracted a penalty of Rs 500 before, will now cost the violators Rs 10, 000, thanks to the new Motor Vehicle Amendment Bill 2016. Finally, with the help of new law, e-governance services will improve so that the drivers can get learning licenses online and increase the validity period of their drivers’ licenses. The common people are really happy about this law, and they expect the provisions of this law to be enforced strictly.
In my opinion, it is a very good law primarily because it will go a long way to address the horrible situation in Indian roads and highways where accidents kill about 17 people every hour. Besides, this law will allow the drivers to receive their learners’ licenses and increase their validity periods easily and quickly online. Finally, this law is a good law also because it will provide some much-needed comforts and hope for the “disabled” people by providing them better services.
