Talking on P95 1. Is it difficult for women to get a good job? Do you think that there are some jobs that women can’t do? Give your reasons. It’s difficult for women to get a good job. One reason is that people still have prejudices against women. The other maybe that in the modern society the supply and request in work force don’t equal. There are not enough jobs for people to do, so some people think that women had better stay at home to leave more room for men. And at the same time

women can teach their own children and give them better early education. This is good for the family and also for the country. It’s a good thing. Because of these reasons many people don’t like women to have a job. This adds the difficulty for women to get a job. But that doesn’t mean that there are some jobs that women can’t do. Man and woman are different in physical and mental feature, so women may be good at this kind of job, while men are good at that kind of job. Men are stronger than women, so they are suitable to become workers to build houses, while women are gentler than men, so they tend to become nurses or teachers.

2. It is even more difficult for women to become leaders or managers 2. It is even more difficult for women to become leaders or managers. Do you think that women are less able than men? Give your opinions. It’s more difficult for women to become leaders or managers. In China people would like to describe a woman, using such a saying: long hair, short wise. In fact, not all women have long hair, and not all women are less wise than men. In society, the room for women to develop themselves is so narrow that people can seldom find their potential. If women are totally liberated from heavy housework and get the equal chance to become leaders or managers, no one will believe that women are less wise or able than men. This has been proved at least in the area of film and entertainment.
