IELTS essay, topic: Nowadays that many women have full time jobs, it is logical to share the housework evenly between men and women (agree/disagree)

Nowadays in many countries women have full time jobs. Therefore, it is logical to share household tasks evenly between men and women. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Nowadays an ever-increasing number of women work full time, and in this reality it is widely believed that house chores should be shared between men and women equally. I strongly agree with this statement.

One of the reasons for sharing housework between is to promote gender equality. A stereotype that has existed a long time is that females ought to stay home, taking care of the family once they got married. This includes looking after the children and doing all of the housework, which is fairly labour-intensive. However, this approach could have quite a few disadvantages. It would render women less able of keeping abreast of what is happening in the job market, thus forming a lifestyle where they might find it arduous to step into the society again. To avoid this, many women are willing to get back into the workforce soon after their maternity leave, and once they do, it makes sense that their husbands should share part of the household chores, to fulfill their family responsibilities.

Nevertheless, we cannot be oblivious several drawbacks of this trend. One potential downside is that men are less experienced in dealing with household tasks. This is because many seldom take an active role in doing housework, according to customs of many countries. As a result, they may end up doing household tasks in a less than perfect way, which could contribute to some unnecessary quarrels between partners, hindering their family bond. However, the likelihood of this happening isn’t very high, because wives can offer some tips or guidance to their husbands when they learn how to share house chores such as mopping floors or doing laundry.

To sum up, although some conflicts might be triggered when equally sharing the duties of household tasks, the benefits of this trend are relatively oblivious.

The writer covered the task well by discussing the positives and negatives of sharing housework equally between men and women. Each paragraph has a clear purpose and assists with orderly presentation of ideas, making this essay easy to follow. The ideas are explained and substantiated, and the writer’s opinion is clear. The range of vocabulary is wide enough to avoid unnecessary repetition. Accuracy of expression could be improved (see corrections underlined in blue), but all in all this essay seems worthy of IELTS Band 8.

  1. The sample essays has been really helpful to me. I commend the service of the people that came up with this idea

  2. Full time university students spend a lot of time studying, however they should perform other activities too. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

    It is obvious fact that education has become essential part for everyone. Hence students of the university are spending a lot of time in studying. However i argued to everyone that they should also spend time on other activities, such as sports, art, and many motivated task, which enhance their brain power and body strength.
    To embark upon it, some people express, with study our reputation will be surge in our society, because nowadays education are playing significant role in our civilization. Moreover, many persons give more dignity to those people, who become succeed in their life due to study. Therefore lots of university surge in their timetable and put burden on pupil, this is only reason behind this that students can not play sports.
    Additionally, as a matter of fact, with the study other task is also a tremendous significant for pupil, because due to other activities would be improve brain power, calories, and body strength, and i think that without good health people can not do anything.
    In conclusion, i would be expounded on this topic that study is a essential for everyone, however i think that without another activities we can not study for long time, because our brain can not afford a lot of stress, hence sports is vital for everyone and i am agree that this both things are aspect to eash other.
