Sample Answer 1
It’s daydream time. I’d love to change the recent update to China’s public holiday system, starting in January 2025. It added two extra days off, one on Chinese New Year’s Eve and another on May 2nd, so Chinese people can enjoy longer breaks than before.
While it’s a positive change, it’s still not enough for the poor souls grinding at work everyday.
What I would change is to remove the “time off in lieu” part. If a long holiday falls near a weekend, just give us the time off directly, don’t make us work weekends to make up for the holidays. Seriously, a whole year of work with only a few scattered holidays is far from enough to recover from the fatigue of working.
It would be better if it were changed to ‘work a maximum of five days a week’. The GDP wouldn’t drop just because we take more days off. On contrary, more time off means more time to shop and travel, which would help stimulate the economy, and that’s much more effective than handing out those 200-off-20 coupons.
So it’s a win-win situation. More holidays for the people, more money for the economy. Time to give workaholics more breaks.
Part 3
1. Why is law important?
Law might sound like a big word, but it actually affects our daily lives in many small ways. For example, when we drive, traffic laws tell us to stop at red lights and follow speed limits, which keeps everyone safe on the road. When we buy something, consumer protection laws make sure we don’t get cheated by fake products.
Even at work, labor laws protect our rights, like getting paid on time or having reasonable working hours. Basically, law is like an invisible hand that makes life more orderly and predictable.
Without it, things would be chaotic, and we’d feel much less secure,
2. Why are there people who like a law but want to change part of it?
Well, laws are not static; they need to evolve with society. Some people might support a law in general but still want to change part of it because it may not fully address current issues.
For example, environmental laws are important; but as technology advances, some regulations might become outdated and need updates to better protect the planet. Also, certain laws might unintentionally create unfaimess, like a tax policy that benefits one group but burdens another. In such cases, people push for changes to make the law more effective and fair. After all, the goal of law is to serve society, and adapting it is a way to meet new challenges.
