Question
Describe a law that could make your community a better place.
Sample answer
The place I currently live in is a big city called (...say the name of the city or are you live in…) and it has got lots of problems and issues which need to be addressed. We have lots of laws and rules and many of them need amendment and better implementation. If I am in a position to impose a new law to make my city a better place to live in, I would make a new law that would make it mandatory for every house owner to plant at least 10 trees at their land and would prohibit cutting any tree unless permitted by the law enforcing authority.
A country should have at least 33% trees and forest of the total area for a natural balance in the country and the existing percentage of trees and forest in our country are alarmingly lower than that. Particularly in our city this rate is almost less than 5% which makes it a imbalanced city to live in. It is not easy to enhance the forests in this city as it is a populated city and has very minimum open space. So making this rule a mandatory one would help us make the city greener and better.
Currently most of the houses do not have trees in the premises and there are places where this can be done. So if every house owner of the city plants some trees and takes care to grow those properly, that would improve the environment of the city. Moreover, the house owners should not be free to cut any tree whenever they want. They need to take permission and give proper reasons if they really need to cut any tree.
This would not be an easy law to implement. Lots of house-owners would not be interested to follow this newly implemented law and would complaint that there is no spare space for doing it. However, if the law is implemented and imposed, over time that would be achievable. Once the consciousness and necessity is understood and we start feeling our obligation towards the nature and our society, many people would feel the importance of it.
This new law would have a great numbers of benefits. There is no alternative of planting trees and keeping the environment healthy and this law would make our city a better place to live in.

For this cue card topic you should speak about a new law that will do better to your community and to the people of this community.

First mention the exact law that you would like to introduce and then mention the reason you would like to implement it.
Introducing a law which is politically controversial is something difficult and if your law is going to make your area a better place, people would embrace and welcome it. So mention that in term of obeying this law by people is not a problem but the law enforcing authority and government must show their good will to have it implemented and abided by.
Sine you are asked to introduce a law that would benefit the people of your area, you should mention that it would become popular. Also mention that a portion of the people who are involved in crime and making black money might not easily accept this law but the mass people would heartily welcome it.
The benefit part should be based on the problem it would eradicate. Let’s say if it is related to traffic law, mention the improvement the traffic system in your locality would have by implementing such law. If the law is related to street crime, mention that the new law would diminish such heinous crime.
