As females usually have to work fulltime, males should equally undertake household tasks such as cleaning work or attending children. To what extent you agree or disagree?
Truly, it is common for women to assume dual responsibilities from both work and home in many countries. The reason for this trend is that women can earn more or less allowance for their family without regard how much money they make at work. Nevertheless, the argument mentioned above does not vindicate that men should share household chores with women at home because we cannot disregard the difference in intensity between men’s and women’s work. As men work more strenuously than women at work in order to bring home the bacon, it is not legitimate that men are obliged to undertake equal housework after working hours.
In my view, it is their understanding of wives’ housework, their allowance of wives’ health and the promotion of husband-and-wife relationship that justify the requirement for husbands to equally undertake household chores. On the one hand, it indicates their appreciation and recognition of females’ great efforts in keeping a tidy home and looking after children. On the other hand, with husbands’ assistance in household chores, women can have more time for rest or relaxation, which is beneficial to keeping them in good health. In addition, a married couple can gain mutual support from each other while doing household work and feel delighted in fulfilling a common household goal, which is definitely conducive to a harmonious family atmosphere.
As children can learn effectively from watching television, children should be encouraged to watch television regularly both at home and at school. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is true that children can learn a lot from watching television. As information is presented in pictures on television, children think it is more interesting to learn things from television than from books. Children are generally attracted to television programs such as animal world or cartoons, thus extending their knowledge and outlook or learning valuable lessons by watching educational or entertaining programs. Nevertheless, We cannot dismiss the drawbacks brought to children by watching too much television. Otherwise, this is too narrow a statement that results in a prejudiced conclusion.
In my view, if children frequently watch television both at home and at school, their study and health will badly suffer. On the one hand, due to lack of self-discipline in watching television, they usually watch television late into the night. The next day they are apt to feel languid in the daytime and show no interest in study, resulting in their poor academic record. On the other hand, frequently watching television impairs their eyesight and sleep. They tend to become short-sighted and lack a sound sleep every day. Meanwhile, children are more likely to become overweight as they are prone to live a sedentary lifestyle and eat too many snacks while watching television.
