• 00:01

  Hello, hello dear listener and welcome into IELTS Speaking Part 3. We are talking about laws,

• 00:10

  rules and regulations in general.

• 00:20

  What rules should students follow at school?

• 00:24

  Well, ideally all of them, but in reality it's probably the ones they consider to have the most value in obeying.

• 00:32

  And can you explain it further?

• 00:34

  Yeah, for example, you're less likely to get a severe punishment

• 00:37

  or caught for dropping litter compared to flagrantly bullying another student.

• 00:43

  So you'd probably find the majority choosing to go along with that one most of the time.

• 00:49

  Do people in your country usually obey the law?

• 00:52

  Well, I would certainly say so.

• 00:54

  We're a pretty law-abiding bunch and not many people are proud of being seen to flout the various rules and regulations.

• 01:01

  Well, regardless of how many there are, or if they make sense even.

• 01:06

  And what evidence do you have for that?

• 01:09

  Well, we haven't descended into anarchy yet, so that probably means people are rubbing along quite nicely.

• 01:15

  What kinds of behaviour are considered as good behaviour?

• 01:19

  I'd imagine the ones that conform to various norms of what's considered respectful,

• 01:25

  or at least not discourteous to others.

• 01:28

  But that varies based on where you are, doesn't it?

• 01:32

  Has that always been true?

• 01:34

  It must have been, yeah.
