Đề thi IELTS Writing Task 2 ngày 08/10/2016
Đề thi: Some people think that men and women have different qualities. Therefore, some
certain jobs are suitable for men and some jobs are suitable for women. To what extent do you
agree or disagree?
You should write at least 250 words.
Model Answer 1:
Nature has blessed both men and women with individual characters, which set them apart. All these
different characteristics enable them to do different tasks according to their affinities. Due to this,
some people opine that it would be best for both sexes to involve themselves in those tasks which suit
their personality and skill sets. Others, however, think that both are equal and can do each other’s job
as efficiently as they can do their own. Therefore, let us analyse the task from both perspectives in
order to reach to a relevant conclusion.
To begin with, it can be said that both males and females have an individual set of characteristics,
which enables them to perform well in certain tasks. For example, women are considered
exceptionally good at taking care of the household activities and bringing up the children. As most of
the women are kind, loving and caring by nature, they are best suited for this job. What is more, they
are also seen as worthy of the job of taking care of household activities due to their creativity and
organisational skills. Similarly, men also have some special traits attached with their personality. For
instance, men are deemed to be strong, confident and decisive. These qualities make it possible for
them to give excellent performance in areas such as earning bread and butter for the home and
making decisions for the family. Apart from that, they can also support their families in emotional as
well as security matters.
However, even though both genders are best suited for the jobs mentioned above, we cannot ignore
the changing trends, which are taking place in modern world. Nowadays, with the spread of education
and equal rights, more and more women are breaking the barriers of their home in order to work
outside. They can be seen placed at several important positions, from doctors to politicians and they
are also performing better than the expectations of most of the people. In the same way, men are also
indulging themselves in household tasks by looking after their children and doing household chores.
Therefore, it cannot be said that both of the genders are best suitable to do only one type of work.

Women are performing well in professions like teaching, nursing, marketing and those kinds of jobs
suits their natural talents and skills. On the other hand, men can work in a crowd and in places where
physical labour is required.
In the ultimate analysis, it can be said that both men and women have been separated with individual
qualities facilitating them with abilities to do several tasks. But, by looking at the current norms, it
will be wrong to think that they cannot do each other’s job.

Model Answer 2:
People have different opinions about whether women and men could fit the same type of work or not.
Some people argue that both genders have the same capabilities, while others oppose this point of
view. This essay will discuss both arguments.
On the one hand, people who claim

that both men and

women could occupy the same types works,

based their idea on the fact that the world has changed, these days more and more women
outside

to work, and this development

has approved

that women are able to perform

go

jobs

successfully. For instance, many sensitive positions are occupied by women such as politics, teachers
and doctors. According to this, it is clear that there is no any difference regarding the gender and the
most significant factor is the individual abilities.
On the other hand, there are people who said that women and men cannot suit the same type of
employment. Due to physical and natural differences, women are not able to choose a career in the
army, for example, because these types of jobs are quite difficult, and need a stronger body. In
contrast ,some jobs are more suitable
what it is

called

for women such as nursing and caring , because

they

have

caring nature.

In conclusion, this essay has looked at both views regarding the abilities to suits in different types of
works and gender. It would seem that women and men are capable of having the same type of careers
and individual ability is far essential than gender choice.

Model Answer 3:
Some people think that women and men have different strengths and weaknesses and as a result of
that some certain jobs are suitable for men and some certain jobs are suitable for women. I do not
agree with this opinion.

Before the Second World War, the labour force was dominated by the males. Female workers could
find a very little area in the job market to work but during and after the Second World War producers
needed waste amount of labour force to keep their facilities running. Because of a certain number of
men was in the military services, they started to hire female workers. Especially in the USA. This was
the first time which the female workers show they can do the same job with male workers.
After the following years, female workers became more qualified and they started to penetrate higher
positions. In the seventies and eighties, females were all over the job market and in any position. That
shows us that if they have given opportunities, women can do any job which a man can do.
Some people thought that the women have physical weaknesses according to men and that prevented
to do jobs which need physical endurance. That opinion is old fashioned and wrong. In the times of
Second World War nearly all the jobs which needed physical endurance were getting done by the
women in the USA and also in the USSR- before the Soviet Union had collapsed, even the mining
operations were getting done by the women. Another example in the same kind of situation is about
the textile business. In the 19th century,

the labour force in textile works was dominated by the men

but today women have outnumbered men in that area.
Other tan this opinion, some people believe that the man can't do the jobs which need gentleness. This
idea is also wrong. The best example of the wrongness of this idea is kindergarten teachers and nurses.
In the seventies and eighties, there were nearly no male kindergarten teachers or nurses, even in the
well-developed countries like USA or Canada but after nineties men started to work as kindergarten
teachers or nurses. Today, even in the developing countries like Turkey or Mexico you can see many
male kindergarten teachers or nurses. In the republic of Ireland, a man who is a former tax lawyer is
trying to be Olympic synchronised swimmer and that shows us the gender is not an issue about doing
a job.
As a conclusion, in today’s world women and men can capable of doing any jobs. Excluding a male
or a female from a certain profession because of his or her gender doesn't have any logical reason.

Believing a gender is not a suitable for a certain job is just an out fashioned thought. There is no
limitation for the men and women in the job market except prejudice.

Model Answer 4:
It has been widely acknowledged that the number of working women increased significantly over the

last century, and they got involved in the different types of works. This topic is in particular
importance because the equality between women and men has become one of the most debated
issues. This essay will discuss whether both sexes suitable for whatever job or not.
On the one hand, the main reason why women and men can occupy the same type of work is related
to mental ability and intelligence. There is no relation between individual ability and gender. For
example, the most important part when someone applying for a job in most companies is the grade
and the certificate rather than the gender. Moreover, there are women who have become a policeman,
which is quite dangerous, and they are successful in their careers.
On the other hand, there are some types of works which is not suitable for all. Jobs that require
physical activity, for instance, are more likely to be filled by men such as builder and army. In
contrast, women are quite emotional and they have which is called (caring nature), for this reason,
they are more suitable to be employed in nursing and caring. In these instances, obviously, women
and men have different natural abilities.
In conclusion, this essay has looked at whether women and men should have the same jobs or not. It
would seem that women and men are capable of having the same type of careers, and individual
ability is far important than the gender identity. Perhaps, with the development in the world, females
can occupy more sensitive positions.
