【雅思范文】男女平等（20180915大陆卷）

【20180915大陆】In many countries nowadays, more and more women have full-time jobs as men, so there is logic that men and women should share the housework tasks equally. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

这道题我完全采用了思路视频里的这种解题思路，跳出了这个题目的限制（否则车轱辘话说来说，逻辑和词汇的分数都不会高）。建议大家思路视频和范文搭配着看，效果更佳。

Somepeople argue that when husband and wife both work full-time, they should shoulder family chores equally. However, I think such allocation is not reasonable because one party may work longer hours or suffer more pressure from the workplace.

Working full-time does not indicate the intensity of work. Some full-time employees devote considerable effort to their job and often have to work overtime, while others, following a nine-to-five schedule, face little pressure. When taking such differences into consideration, the one with less workload should do more housework. Moreover, one party may have a brighter professional prospect than the other, in which case, the one expecting less career advancement can dedicate more time and energy to home-making and child-rearing. In this way, the family chores are taken care of, and at the same time, the main breadwinner can guarantee a better economic status of the family.

There is another feasible option to solve the dilemma: as both parties receive salaries, the one who does not want to share the responsibility can hire an hourly cleaner or babysitter to do his or her part. In this way, the one with less intention to do domestic work or the one with a higher value of time can justify their choice by making the payment. Then the spouse cannot blame him or her for escaping responsibility, since there is a third party to take it in his or her place.

In conclusion, we cannot vaguely say that a couple should equally divide household chores if they both work full-time. There are better ways to make a fair distribution of domestic tasks.
