Describe a rule at school or work that you do not like.

You should say:

  • what rule it is
  • how important it is
  • how others feel about this rule

and explain why you do not like this rule.

[Instruction: You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.]

Model Answer:

Well, this is such a tricky topic to talk about, and I just hope that my boss or anybody from my job is not listening to this!!! But, yes, you have guessed it right, and for this topic, I am going to talk about a rule at my workplace – a rule which I don’t exactly like.

Then again, I don’t really like to believe that the rules are actually made to be liked or appreciated by everybody in the same fashion. In other words, some would prefer certain rules, if these rules serve their own interest, while they will dislike the others if they, the concerned people, find those rules detrimental to their interest. So, we are essentially “walking on a tight rope” when we are choosing which rules to like and which to dislike!

Anyway, talking about the rule at my work which I don’t like, the rule says that nobody is really allowed to eat anything – including full meals, snacks, and any kinds of cold or hot drinks – in the actual working area during the office hours. In other words, if anybody needs to eat anything, he or she has to leave the desk and eat it in a designated area.

Now, initially, after this rule had become effective, I thought that most of my coworkers, if not all, would oppose such a rule because of its implication, But very much to my pleasant surprise, I found out that most of them actually like this rule! Needless to say, I actually became a little embarrassed after learning how I don’t like the rule while most of my coworkers do!

Now, I don’t really believe that this rule is that important because it has very little, if any at all, to do with the efficiency or productivity of our workers, and that’s probably the main reason for which I don’t really like it. I don’t like this rule also because it restricts us from enjoying little “quality time” at our desk while forcing us to behave like we are some kind of “robot” or “modern-day servant”!
