Task 02: Family
Nowadays , women as well as men work full time. Therefore, women and men should share household tasks equally. (eg cleaning and looking after children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Sample Answer:
Some people think that household chores should be shared equally among men and women as they now both work fulltime. Personally, I completely agree with this statement as doing housework is the responsibility of every family member, and this change is necessary to avoid causing stress to both men and women.
An equal distribution of housework can reduce the day-to-day pressure on both men and women as they will not have to do too many things during a day. In fact, everyone only has 24 hours a day, and the amount of time left after work of both men and women is nearly the same when they both have a full-time job. Forcing either men or women to do all household chores will place a huge burden on them as they may barely have any time left to rest or do any other activities. Therefore, sharing housework equally is necessary to reduce the pressure placed on either wife or husband.
In addition, completing household tasks, such as cleaning and washing up, is the responsibility of everyone in the family, regardless of their gender. When men and women live together as a family, they should both contribute to maintaining their home and making it a better place. Doing housework is a part of this process and therefore should be done by both wife and husband, rather than just one of them.
In conclusion, I agree with the idea that household tasks should be equally shared among men and women as this change can reduce the pressure placed on them when they both work fulltime. Doing housework is also the responsibility of all family members, whether they are men or women.
