Women can do everything that men can and they even do it better. They also can do many things that men cannot. But it is a fact that their work is not appreciated as much as men's, although they have to sacrififice a lot for their family and career. It is said: "A woman's place is in the home." What do you think?

Gender equality has been always a controversial issue around the world. Some hold the opinion that
women
need to be appreciated for all the work they have done domestically or in their
careers
,
while
others argue that
women
can do less than what
men
can do, and they are naturally born to be stay-at-
home
,
therefore
they would better stay at where they should be. I strongly agree with the former opinion.
This
essay shall explain the reasons for it by carefully giving examples.
Firstly
,
women
can do better than
men
and they can utilise their advantages in their
careers
. Nowadays,
women
face discrimination a lot
due to
their gender. They are asked if they have been married or had
children
at the interview when they are looking for a new job since pregnancy means holidays, which is a certain degree of loss to the company.
However
, if we look at
this
issue in another way,
that is
,
women
who have
children
or who want to be a mother have the patience and carefulness to look after their work as they look after their
children
. These advantages are something that
also
a nature of
women
that outweighs
men
. In
this
case, there is no reason for
women
to stay at
home
if they have
such
merits and at the same time want to have some achievements in their
careers
.
Secondly
, if
women
can stay at
home
,
then
a man can
also
do the same thing. Normally it is generally what people do that the father goes out for a job and the mother takes care of the
children
in the household.
However
, the places can be changed. A man can do what a woman does at
home
and he can even make good use of his talents and strengths.
For example
, a father is physically more strong than the mother to take care of
children
for a long time.
Men
can hold heavy things easily and they are good at fixing and repairing as well.
Overall
,
men
have many good reasons to be at
home
as
women
do. In conclusion, it is unfounded to say that
women
need to stay at
home
to do the chores or to look after
children
as
home
‘is where they belong to’. I encourage more and more housewives to get out of their homes and try starting their
careers
if they have the wish and desire. The world belongs not only to
men
but half to
women
.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
