1:The things talked about:

CreativityNigeriaCountrysideVillages2:1)Women mat get the award when their ideas or work have helped to make life better in their villages. 2)Mrs Adetona has helped women in her village (get loans) to start small businesses.

3)Mrs Adetona’s work was important because with her help now more than a thousand people can take care of their families and send their children to school. 4)Mrs Zeng taught the villagers: how to plant potatoes; how to take care of sheep; and how to take care of the environment by planting trees on the hills around the village. 5)In 2002 Mrs Zeng was chosen to e one of the village leaders.

3:1)Tes. I think women such as Mrs Adetona and Mrs Zeng should get awards for their work because it will inspire other women to start helping people in their own villages. 2)No. There are many women everywhere who do good things for other people (the community) without getting a prize. To do this kind of work is normal, and people should not be given awards for it.

Talking:The answer to the right of the graph:

--Although women have a good education, there are still people who doubt whether they have the right qualities to do this job.

--It is difficult for women in China to get jobs in high positions because men in those positions give jobs to other en, but not to women.

--Some people feel that women are weak and cannot force their decisions on people who are stronger than themselves,so women cannot be managers or leaders. --There are also still some people who are very traditional; they believe the position of women should be at home to take care of the household and the children. 1:Before the role play

1)Yes. It is more difficult for women to get good jobs. Statistics show that the number of women in management positions is much lower than the number of men. Some of the arguments for that are listed above. No.Woman can also get very good jobs. There are many women who are managers in for example hospitals, schools and department stores. There are also jobs that

women cannot do so well, for

example jobs that are very heavy or dangerous, work in the police, army or fire stations,etc. 2)Yes. I think it is more difficult for women to get a position as a leader or boss in a company. Too many people believe that women are not suitable to do this kind of job. Also, women already in these positions prefer to work with

other men, so when jobs are aveilable they prefer to give them to other men.

No. Only in some fields there are perhaps not so many women. It could be because these fields are not so suitable for women or that women themselves don’t want to work in them.

No. I agree that they are smart and hard-working, but they were

Yes. I think the women in the reading passage are great women. I think so because there aren’t very many women who are successful in technical jobs especially not in space engineering

probably just lucky to get such a good job. In fact, they are people just like you and me.Writing:(Steps of my future career)At school:I have always been very good at maths and science. I son’t like language so much but I have to get good marks in all subjects to go to university. The time I save studying maths can help me become better at languages.

At university:I hope to get a good knowledge of my two favourate subjects (maths and science), so I can later choose the job that I would like to do. I will have to work hard and diligently, to get the best results.Work experience: If I am lucky, I can get the perfect job when I graduate from university. But even if I first have to do one or two other jobs, I hope these jobs are in my field and give

me opportunities for on-the-job learning. I think on-the-job learning will be very important because there are many things that you learn from books.Continued learning: The world around us is changing all the time.I think in the future we we will have to take courses in our jobs to learn more work skills. We will also have to study mew things to create better opportunities to do our work well, or get on finding other jobs.

Sample essay: I have always been very good at maths and science. I don’t like language so much but I have to get good marks in all subjects to go to university. The time I save studying maths can help me become better at languages. I think the time at high school will be the busiest and most difficult in my career. There are so many

subjects, and it is so important that we try to be good at all of them. I am looking forward to going to university. I hope to get a good knowledge of my two favourate subjects (maths and science) there, so I can later choose the job that I would like to do. I will have to work hard and diligently to gety the best results.

If I am lucky, I can get the perfect job when I graduate from university. But even if I first have to do one or two other jobs, I hope these jobs are in my field and give me opportunities for on-the-job learning. I think on-the-job learning will be very inportant because there are many things

that you cannot learn from books. The world around us is changing all the time. I think in the future we will have to take courses in our jobs to learn more work skills. There will probably be new kinds of machines, computers and software that we need to learn to work with. We will also have to

study new things to create better opportunities to do our work well, or get on finding other jobs. Maybe we need to learn other languages or study other subjicts for special tasks or just because we will have time and interest to do so.
