Describe a Rule That Is Important In Your School Or At Work – Sample Audio

Well, Speaking of a rule that is essential in a school, I think the first one that passed my mind was a rule in my university. Basically, it’s about a morning exercise. It was actually made about a couple years ago in a school.

It was actually made by the president of our school. I can totally understand why he did it because he felt like the university students nowadays didn’t pay attention to, they don’t pay attention to the exercise and the lack of exercises. So the general, I think the health condition has been, they have been deteriorating. So that’s why he had this kind of a rule.

We have to just get up early, about maybe 7:30 or so. And everybody should do this running thing from maybe our dormitory to the playground, then maybe around for about 20 minutes or so. And it’s about four kilometers. And you have to switch on your Kik to record it. And they have to show this kind of screenshots to obey the our monitor and they have to pass it to the school.

So what happens if you don’t do this? If you don’t have any reasonable, you know, like excuses, maybe firstly you will be, you know, punished by deducting some points from your score, like the PE score. Eventually you maybe you will fail the courses and also you cannot get a makeup test. So that’ll be very serious. You just want to, you know, have a higher TPA so nobody wants to mess up with the score.

Well, for me, I think it has. I have this kind of mixed feelings for it. I know the purpose of this rule is, you know, for students welfare and their health. But I cannot totally agree with it.

Firstly, I think the morning time is not the best time to do the exercises. Sometimes we have the smart issue. According to some experts, it is detrimental to our health.

Secondly, I think doing system sports is our own freedom. We already have the PE classes. Nobody should force us to do the morning exercises. Some people like to do it in the morning, some people like to do the exercises in the evening, or they want to replace it by playing basketball or football. But now everybody should do the long distance running.

So I just feel like it’s not fair.

Sample Answer 2

With regard to this topic, I would like to talk about the rule against violence in my university, which I think is of absolutely importance in the school setting.

The rule makes it clear that any school violence, including intentional injury, assaulting, bullying or physical punishment, should be subject to punishment on campus and if the case is really serious, the committers would also receive judgement from according to the criminal laws.

It is fairly crucial to safeguard students’ security at school and prevent any forms of violence from happening.

Universities are like societies but just on a small-scale.

Students face people from different backgrounds and I have to admit not all students bear with good purposes.

It is human nature to bully the weak ones and stay away from the strong.

If there are no related rules to ban students from this kind of conduct, the students who are teased and taken advantage of may suffer from mental illnesses and this can severely influence their life.

In my opinion, this is a very good rule.

What needs to be done is that the school party should make more efforts to supervise students conducts so that we know the rule is strictly carried out and people conducting violence will not get away.

Sample Answer 3

In my school, there is a very important rule, which is “Keep the campus clean”. This rule requires students to maintain a clean and tidy environment on the campus and not to litter casually.

If someone violates this rule, the school will provide corresponding education and warnings. At the same time, the person involved will be required to personally clean up the litter they have thrown, as a warning.

I think this is a very important rule because a clean campus environment directly affects the quality of learning and life. A clean and tidy campus can enhance students’ motivation to learn and their sense of well-being. It also contributes to the beautification and environmental protection efforts on campus.

Personally, I strongly agree with this rule. I believe that keeping the campus clean is the responsibility of every student and a sign of respect for our shared learning environment. I will actively abide by this rule, and occasionally, I will even voluntarily participate in some campus cleaning activities to contribute my share to creating a better learning atmosphere.

1. What rules should children follow at home in your country?

Personally, I think they are. We have different rules.
In the past we had some ancient regulations for children at home.
At that time. They have to follow strictly some of the rules, like when you enter the house, you have to knock on the door and maybe if you see somebody, nobody’s in the room, you should get out very quickly. Those are the teachings from the parents and grandparents.
So nowadays we have some new rules for children. Maybe they should go to bed before certain time because now the modern parents have their consciousness about, you know, helping their children to stay in a healthy way and keep a healthy lifestyle.
So they always have this kind of family rules Like you have to hit the sack before 9:00 or 10:00 or so because they that can guarantee the kids to have sufficient sleep, which can help them grow taller and have better study efficiency.
So other rules may be like they should be home before maybe 6 o’clock or seven o’clock and they should not go, you know, like stay outside too long.
If they didn’t obeyed, maybe they’ll be punished, maybe they’ll be grounded, we say.

2. On what occasions can children be forgiven if they don’t follow some rules?

2. On what occasions can children be forgiven if they don’t follow some rules?

Well, I think there are several circumstances that can, you know, forgive those kids behaviors.
For example, if they are facing some danger, Some children can definitely break the rules. They don’t have to always follow it in order to keep themselves safe.
For instance, if they are in some places that need to be quiet, However, someone was, you know, was in danger. So I think they are allowed to scream and shout and ask for the adults for help. So in this case, I think it’s totally allowed.
That’s why in ancient time we have this kind of stories like the kids got into a kind of like some facilities in order to, you know, save the kids. The other kids will just break the container in order to save the kids who are going to drown. So he actually just damaged the public facility.
However, it can help him to save some other kids life. So I think definitely this kid is a hero, so he will not be punished.
Maybe there are some other circumstances, for instance, if they are not aware of the rules and it’s the first time for them to do we say the first offender, maybe they will not be really seriously punished because you know, they are not aware of it. So maybe teachers or parents will just warning give them the first warning and for second time if they do it again, sorry, there’s no excuse.

3. What rules should people follow when using public transport?

3. What rules should people follow when using public transport?

I believe that there are so many regulations people should pay attention to when they are taking the public transportation.
For example, they should line up when they are waiting for the buses or any other transport. There are also some lines on the ground. Sometimes you have to stand behind that when you’re going to take the subway or maybe the highway. So the high speed train, I mean. So it’s actually can help you to keep yourself safe.

Secondly, maybe when you’re taking the buses, usually should know that you should get up, you know, get on the bus, you know, from the front door and get off, you know, from the through the back door. So it can actually call, you know, reduce some, you know, unnecessary troubles. People maybe get jammed there.

Thirdly, there are some rules about the people who are going to about people’s behavior on the subway. So maybe you cannot take any foods or eat on the subway because when you are doing that, maybe you there are some of the foods will be falling off of you know from your hands and get on the ground in the future.
It maybe will attract some other animals like mouse and mouse is actually one of the number one enemy you know toward to this kind of metro system.
They might be chewing also on the other wires which can cause some malfunction and even some accidents.

Last but not least, we should always be quiet and try not to make some noise when we are taking the buses or any transportation public translation. It can be really annoying if you just play something like put something on the speaker. Maybe you should just use your headset or your earphone.

4. What kinds of rules do people need to follow in public places?

4. What kinds of rules do people need to follow in public places?

There are also some regulations for people to follow when they are in the public places.

First one, maybe it’s like when they are maybe having some celebrations, they should follow the basic traffic rules and they cannot just try to cause some trouble to the crowds. Maybe they should not push people around, which maybe will trigger some tragedies like something some tragedy we’ve seen before on the news. People can get into the Stampede or this kind of horrific, you know, disasters.

Another one is that maybe they should still be quiet in some places like the library or some music concerts when they are enjoying those kind of arts or artwork.
Or maybe they should not talk loudly, which will definitely interrupt other people’s, you know, thinking or they are time to enjoy the artwork.

So last but the least, maybe they should also not eat some foods that will, you know, have some special smells like maybe on the airplane you should not eat some fruits like it’s called during.

So it can be actually quite smelly sometimes.

5. What are the reasons that cause people to break rules?

5. What are the reasons that cause people to break rules?

I think there are several factors that make people to try to break the rules.

First one is that maybe they are trying to gain some profits or benefits illegally or maybe in inappropriate way.
So they probably will not just think put the integrity in the 1st place, they will probably just cheat.
So that is actually kind of a shameful behavior, for example, when people are trying to cheat in the exam or some athletes trying to use the some illegal drugs to boost their performance.

Some other reason I think maybe will be more, I think, positive.
For example, in a business, sometimes you don’t have to always follow the rules because the rules are there for you to break. We’ll say you have to think outside the box if you do business.
So maybe let’s say some, you know, like new companies, maybe they are trying to try to be different from other companies. They will produce some other products that is totally innovative. So it can actually break the, you know, all the perceptions or the people’s fixed concepts about certain things.
So it’s actually can attract people’s attention. They can be a real hit.

Another one is like people can break the rules when they are encountering some danger, for example, or try to help other people, for example. Like we have seen some news about taxi drivers. The in order to save the patients who are in a critical condition, they will break some red lights when they are trying to send them to the hospital so they can save time. And it can be really, you know, significant when it comes to saving the patient. So later the traffic police will say that this driver will not be punished.

1. What rules should children follow at home in your country?

Well, in my neck of the woods, it’s common for kids to follow a few household rules.

First up, respect for elders is paramount. It’s kind of a cultural thing; always greet them, listen when they speak, that sort of thing.

A lot of parents also have a no shoes-inside policy to keep the house spick and span.

And let’s not forget the age old curfew! Be it on school nights or weekends, parents like to set a time for their kiddos to be home, safe and sound.

Screen time is another battleground; many parents set limits on how long their kids can glue their eyes to TVs or tablets.

2. On what occasions can children be forgiven if they don’t follow some rules?

Well, sometimes kids can get away with breaking a few rules if it’s a genuine mistake or they didn’t know about the rule to begin with.

Additionally, if a child is going through a rough patch, like dealing with personal issues or feeling super stressed, people tend to be more understanding.

But you know, it all depends on the specific rule and how old and responsible the child is.

3. What rules should people follow when using public transport?

Riding the public transit? There’s an unwritten code!

Priority seats are for the elderly, pregnant, or differently-abled folks.

It’s a no-brainer to stand clear of the doors and let passengers exit before hopping on.

Blaring music without headphones? That’s a no-go. Keeping conversations at a reasonable volume and not taking up extra seats with bags are just basic etiquette.

Oh, and these days, maintaining hygiene, like using hand sanitizers and wearing masks, has become the new norm on many transport modes.

4. What kinds of rules do people need to follow in public places?

Out in public, there are some rules to keep things running smoothly.

You should throw your trash in the proper bins, avoid messing up things, and use designated smoking areas if you smoke.

There are also rules about noise, limits on large gatherings, and guidelines for using stuff like skateboards or bikes – those sorts of rules.

5. When people break rules, how would they be punished in your country?

Ah, penalties vary depending on the rule in question.

For minor infractions, like traffic violations, there might be a fine to cough up. Some places even have community service as a way to pay back for misdemeanors.

But for more severe violations? We’re talking legal repercussions, court dates, maybe even some time behind bars.

On the social front, breaking cultural or societal norms can sometimes lead to a bit of a cold shoulder from the community or some intense side-eye from the neighbors.
