Describe a new law you would introduce in your country
The cue card
Describe a new law you would introduce in your country.
- You should say: what the law would be
- You should say: why it is needed
- You should say: how it would be enforced
- You should say: and explain why you chose it
How to answer it
Choose small and enforceable over grand and vague. 'A law against pollution' gives you nothing for the third bullet; 'no delivery scooters on pavements, enforced by camera, with the fine going to the platform rather than the rider' hands you enforcement, fairness and a counter-argument for free. Name the problem it fixes with one concrete scene from your own street.
What moves the band
- This card rewards modal and conditional range: it would have to be, they'd be fined, unless enforcement were consistent.
- Enforcement is the bullet most candidates skip. Say who checks, what the penalty is, and why people would comply.
Part 3 questions reported with it
Part 3 follows the topic of the cue card, so these are the discussion questions the same candidates were asked next.
- Do laws change people's behaviour, or do attitudes change first?
- Should minor law-breaking lead to prison?
- Why do some countries have too many laws?
These are candidate recalls. These are questions reported by test-takers after their exams, not official or leaked IELTS material. Wording varies by test version, location and memory. Use them for timed practice — never as a prediction of what you will be asked.
