Write a paragraph (120 - 150 words) about the surgeon’s job. Use these guiding questions to help you.
Sample answer:
The surgeon’s job is traditionally most common for men. Surgeons have to perform operations on patients. They also have to make important
decisions about patients’ health and safety. Besides medical knowledge, surgeons need both physical and mental strength to perform long and
tiring operations. In addition, surgeons need to have excellent eyesight and skillful hands. A surgeon works with a team, so he / she needs good
teamwork and communication skills. Although it is traditionally seen as a male job, the number of women surgeons is increasing now. Women
are as mentally strong as men, and they can perform long operations. In summary, women can make great surgeons, and everybody will
benefit from having both male and female surgeons.
