Model Answer 4:

The law that prevents the child labour is the one I really appreciate and like. The law regarding the child labour prevents the employers from engaging anyone below 18 years old to be engaged in any work that possesses a threat to the child.

Though I am not an employer and do not face the situation where I need to decide whether I should involve a child to such work, I should not say if I abide by this law or not. Nevertheless, I fully support the law and would never violate it. If I am even remotely involved in abiding by this law, I would definitely obey this law.

I feel that this is an important law and everybody should abide by this law. Children are our next generation and their safety should be our priority. So we should never engage them in hazardous work and should make sure that they are getting the proper education. Though the government and the parents of those kids have a responsibility to nurture them and ensure their education, sometimes it is beyond their control and each of us should make sure that we are not violating this law.

I like this law because it prevents the greedy employers to engage the children to hazardous and dangerous works because of low payment. The children who should be at school and in playground should not get involved in works that possess dangers to them. Since this law strictly prohibits the citizens from doing such thing that ruin the children future, I really feel a great respect for this law.

Model Answer 5:

I live in Australia and it is a country of biodiversity and numerous species. The law ‘Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (also known as EPBC Act) is one of my favourite laws in my country and it is the Australian Government’s central piece of environmental legislation. This law was imposed for preserving the environment, including the biodiversity and naturally and culturally significant places in Australia. As far as I recall this law was enacted in the year 2000 and this had a monumental effect on preserving the ecological communities and various species throughout the country. This law established a great variety of processes to help protect and promote the ecological communities as well as threatened species in my country.

I think enacting this law was a major step towards preserving the biodiversity we have in our country. Though I feel that it should have been implemented much earlier – but it’s always better late than never. I read a report a few months ago that this law has a direct correlation with the improvement of Australian ecological communities, and wildlife. I personally follow this law by showing my respect and caring towards all species and plants in Australia, migratory species and following rules regarding the national heritages in Australasia.

In fact, this law has many subsections that ensure the preservation and promoting of the environment, national heritage, endangered species, bioregional plans and protection of the environment from nuclear actions. This was a much needed law to ensure a balanced environment and making Australia a better place to live in for all species and plants. I like the initiatives taken by authorities regarding that law and with time the natural environment and biodiversity of Australia have improved significantly. One particular part of this law that I like most is the requirement for approval of developments with a significant impact on water resources. This law ensures the biodiversity of water species and prevents citizens from doing any harmful act in marine and water region of Australia. Offences relating to water resources is another part that safeguards the marine environment in our country.

I personally respect this law and this is an exemplary law for other countries in my opinion.
