Paragraph 1 (Introduction)
|
In a family, both men and
women should be employed outside the home and share childcare equally. To
what extent do you agree with this statement?
|
|
Paragraph 2
|
C. Nowadays, the traditional roles of men and
women have changed. More men help in the home and more women go out to work.
Some people say that this is a good thing, while others say that this is a
negative thing. I believe that men should go out to work and women should
stay at home. I believe that this is more economically efficient, and it is
also better for children.

Paragraph 3
|
B.
Also,
women should be the main carers for their children. Although some people
argue that women should be able to work outside the home, this is hard when
there are children. Women give birth to the children and they need to be with
them when they are small. It is also better for the children to grow up with
a parent who is always at home. Being looked after by a professional career
is not as good for children.
|
|
Paragraph 4 (Conclusion)
|
A.
The
economic benefits and the general benefits to children are the reasons why I believe
that men should work outside the home and women should not. These traditional
roles have worked successfully for a long time, so, in my opinion, they do
not need to change now.
