同学普遍认为5月的新题中，法律题最难，不知道如何开口。其实素材还是很多的，下面精讲一下。含前期孙涛老师版《新劳动法》资源。

　　① What the law is? 什么法律/规定/政策?
　　Tips: Policy is a kind of law in the West, but breaking this law would be called a "misdemeanor" (a minor crime) 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，政策和规定也是法律的一种，唯一不同的是，违反这种法律被称作“轻罪”而不是重罪。对于口语考试，如果举“独生子女政策”作为法律的一种，是可以的。因为考官不会知道其中的差别。

　　New labour law 新劳动法

　　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 塑料袋使用规定

　　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. 该法律/规定/政策的好处。

　　Only Stricter Traffic Laws Can Prevent Accidents. 只有制定更严格的法律才能防止事故发生。
　　Creating a safe, harmonious, orderly and convenient traffic environment. 创造安全、和谐、有序、方便的交通环境。
