It is argued that childcare should be done by a female as they are better than a male. I strongly take issue with
this
Linking Words
proposal as
kids
Use synonyms
are evenly given care by both
parents
Use synonyms
and house chores should be shared no matter what their
gender
Use synonyms
.
Firstly
Linking Words
, it is true that some countries and/or people believe that
females
Use synonyms
should be at home to look after
kids
Use synonyms
because kindness, softness, and generosity are the nature of
females
Use synonyms
. These beliefs normally originate from religious ideology, myths and folklore and influence males’ dominant attitude,
as a result
Linking Words
, imposing pressure and responsibilities of childrearing on
females
Use synonyms
.
However
Linking Words
,
not to mention
Linking Words
, those beliefs or social acceptance are wrong and males should have the same characteristics as
females
Use synonyms
more or less toward
kids
Use synonyms
as human beings.
Furthermore
Linking Words
,
kids
Use synonyms
have a right to be brought up by
parents
Use synonyms
with being loved, even though a female as a mother has more time to be attached to a baby at the beginning after childbirth. A male as a father
also

has a role to take part in childbearing
such

as changing diapers, giving baths, and formula milk.
This

experience considerably develops relationships between children and
parents
Use synonyms
as a result
Linking Words
,
this

has a positive impact on the whole family.
Secondly
Linking Words
, another important issue to take into account is that
females

have been becoming more independent and have achieved women’s empowerment in modern society compared to thousands of years ago.
For instance
Linking Words
, acquiring high levels of education, careers and improving quality of life. These positive trends have affected companies to have more opportunities to meet efficient female employees and
consequently
Linking Words
promote the productivity of businesses.
Moreover
Linking Words
, these benefits are not only productivities but
also
Linking Words
facilitate a good and diverse working environment for all staff members.
Therefore
Linking Words
, people who have outdated stereotypes, and have prejudice in
gender

roles, should be given some measures of amending their understandings and behaviours toward
females
Use synonyms
and males should consider
females
Use synonyms
' jobs at home as their jobs rather than thinking about whether suitable jobs or not
gender
Use synonyms
. In conclusion, I disagree with the statement, because regardless of
gender
Use synonyms
, I believe that both
parents
Use synonyms
should be involved in childrearing, as it gives significant advantages to
kids
Use synonyms
, the family and eventually society.
In addition
Linking Words
to
this
Linking Words
, the male-dominated beliefs toward domestic work for a female need to be addressed to achieve

equality.

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.
