Sample IELTS Writing Task 2 #12

Women and men are commonly seen as having different strengths and weaknesses. Is it right to exclude males or females from certain professions because of their gender?

Model answer

There have always been differences in the types of work men and women have done. However, the trend in modern times has been for both men and women to have greater freedom of choice in terms of employment. Some people might say that there is no need to go further. However, in my view, wherever possible, gender equality should be encouraged.


There may indeed be good arguments for allowing certain posts to remain predominantly male or female. Where all-male or all-female groups exist, there may be a need for related posts to be held by men and women respectively. Patients in all-female hospital wards, for example, would probably appreciate having female nurses to took after them. It could also be argued that certain jobs requiring a great deal of physical strength, coal mining or logging, for example, should continue to be done mainly by men.



However, in the vast majority of situations, making occupations more open to both genders has distinct advantages. Men and women can bring slightly different perspectives and approaches to a job. Female police officers, for example, may have a greater understanding of domestic violence and a better range of strategies for dealing with this problem. Male primary school teachers probably have a better understanding of the needs of young boys and can serve as good role models for them.

The changes that result from allowing men into female-dominated occupations and vice versa may be subtle, but they are far-reaching. However, to benefit the most from this development, it is important not to expect males and females to approach work in identical ways.

  1. This is a good essay about gender. Truth is t's a little difficult to provide points of view and talk about another gender. But in this essay, you've provided good arguments on men, women and in general. Reading band 8-9 essays like yours and this one about city http://www.ieltspodcast.com/ielts-writing-task/ielts-band-9-sample-essay-no-9/ helps me gain more knowledge about the said topics. Thanks!

  4. This way my buddy Wesley Virgin's autobiography begins in this shocking and controversial video.

    You see, Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he found hidden, "self mind control" secrets that the CIA and others used to obtain whatever they want.

    THESE are the exact same tactics lots of famous people (especially those who "became famous out of nowhere") and top business people used to become rich and successful.

    You've heard that you use only 10% of your brain.

    That's mostly because most of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe that expression has even taken place INSIDE your own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head around seven years back, while driving an unregistered, trash bucket of a car with a suspended license and $3.20 on his debit card.

    "I'm very frustrated with living check to check! When will I finally make it?"

    You've been a part of those those types of questions, isn't it right?

    Your success story is waiting to be written. All you need is to believe in YOURSELF.

    UNLOCK YOUR SECRET BRAINPOWER
