information about the essay topic, may put forward some differing opinions
and gives an answer to the essay question.
b Summarizes all the
arguments and restates your answer/opinion.
c Describes and
explains different viewpoints, arguments, advantages and disadvantages,
supported by examples.

B Put these paragraphs
in the correct order to make a coherent essay by matching them to the headings
below.
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?
|
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.
|
|
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
carer is not as good for children.
|
|
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.

D 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
