Band 5.5

In many countries today, both men and women need to work full time. Therefore, some people think men and women should share household tasks equally (e g. cleaning and looking after children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Though I agree
both
 men and women should participate in the
household
 tasks, I do not think they should separate
housework
 equally.
Instead
, I believe men and women should discuss and consider their situations before they share the tasks. When
both
 men and women work full
time
, sharing
housework
 would be beneficial.
Firstly
, sharing
housework
 could facilitate families atmosphere and reduce family tension. They would spend less
time
 on chores when they cooperate with each other.
Then
, they could save
time
 for family activities or just enjoy spare
time
.
Secondly
, sharing
housework
 could reduce
both
 physical and mental stress on women. In most cases, women have to take care of children and manage
housework
 after their daily work, which

 females.
Thirdly
, sharing
household
 would create a role model for children and children could learn to take responsibilities and manage their
time
. Though I believe couples should
both
 engage in
housework
, I think they should discuss their situations and strength
accordingly
 rather than allocate chores equally. Couples should discuss their current workload and available for
household
 tasks.
For example
, if one person is busy at work, the person could take

 responsibilities.
For instance

Also
, families could allocate based on personal strength and willingness. Allocate heavy physical
housework
 to males while females are more suitable to take care of children. From what has been discussed, I believe sharing
household
 would benefit the relationship and how to separate the
household
 needs to consider the family’s situation.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
