In the past it was more common for men to work than women but his situation has changed and nowadays both sexes work. However, it would seem that there are still some differences between the sexes as some professions seem to attract more men than women and vice versa.

It is quite common for men, rather than women, to be employed in jobs such as building and construction. This is probably due to the effort and strength needed for such kind of labour and many women may not have sufficient physical power for this. However, there are many other careers in which far more men work than women such as engineering. Additionally, there are far more senior male managers than female. This may have less to do with suitability and more to do with other factors such as education, expectations of family or social beliefs.

On the other hand, there are other professions where mainly female employees can be found such as child care. This may be attributed to the fact that women are generally the child roarers at home and feel familiar and comfortable doing this type of work. Other jobs which have fewer males than females are caring professions such as teaching and nursing. It is believed that this could be due to the fact that women are seen to be good communicators with the ability to empathize.

In my opinion, I believe that it is not a question of suitability based on sex but suitability based on personality. Each person should do the type of job they personally feel most suited to, regardless of their sex.

Nowadays many young people leave home at an early age to either study or work in another city. Do you think this has more advantages or disadvantages for young people? Support your point of view with reasons and examples from your own experience.

It has become quite common for young people to leave home either for study or work purposes. This affords numerous advantages for those who do this but it is not without its difficulties either.

Living independently at a young age gives young people many opportunities to learn. For example, learning how to budget money, manage time, complete paperwork or forms, work or live with new people and in some cases learn how to cook and look after a home. ithout having parental guidance on every single issue or problem encountered young people can also learn about how to solve problems and make decisions independently.

However, living away form home is not without its drawbacks. For one thing, youngsters may feel isolated, lonely and homesick living in a new place without their family for the first time. They may not be sufficiently mature to adapt and could fall into debt through not managing their money, or fail to keep up with their studies, or be late or absent form work due to lack of time management skills. In the worst scenario, without parental guidance, they may become friendly with , or influenced by, unsuitable people and get involved in criminal activities.

On the whole, however, I still believe it is a positive development for most young people to have independence at an early age, as long as they are made aware of the possible problems of living away from home. They should also be given advice prior to leaving home and continuing support, albeit from a distance, once they have left home.
