有關(guān)雅思口語考試中的法律話題

法律話題的確棘手，但也沒那么可怕，畢竟雅思口語考試不是司法考試。像有位網(wǎng)友提到的禁用塑料袋只是個規(guī)定而已，嚴格的講不算law，但考官不會太在乎，因為規(guī)定、規(guī)章制度、法律什么的他基本上都可以接受。下面的話題我選的是新勞動合同法，前一陣炒得沸沸揚揚的，尤其是由于華為事件。樣板答案以素材為主，并不是完整答案，僅供大家參考。

　　內(nèi)容
　　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.
　　好處
　　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.
