Work in groups of 3-4 and discuss the following questions. make notes of your discussions. are there jobs that are better for just men or just women? what do you think are some male and female jobs? explain your opinion. use: have different talents, be honest, get on well with people, be aware of one's own emotions, feel empathy, work well with others, deal with stress well, be self-confident and optimtstic, be more/less ambitious.

Are there any jobs in which women are better suited than men?   let's be honest. there are overall differences between men and women. and there are some jobs which men are generally better suited for. here are some examples.  construction - male dominated occupation. requires a lot of heavy lifting, so it's suited for men.  firefighting - yes, there are women firefighters, but in general, men are better suited for this role. often a very physically demanding job.  special forces in the military - again, due to the physical demands of this job, this occupation is dominated by men.  this list isn't exhaustive. i just wanted to make a list that wasn't too controversial, and i think most people would agree with the examples i provided above.  and then i got to thinking. are there jobs in which women are better suited than men in the same way as the jobs listed above? i had trouble thinking of any, but perhaps some of you could come up with a few examples.  certainly there are more jobs in which most of the personnel are female, like nursing (a very physical job, actually) and teaching, nursery workers, etc etc.  i also know of a man who routinely has female staff because he says their fingers are better for plant nursery work.  i suppose though, for most of us, gender isn't an issue. life isn't a competition between men and women.  well this is all very generalized. we might say childcare but when men do get into childcare the children tend to bond with the man equally if not better. and nbo i dont mean better just to spite women its because seeing men is rare in childcare postions so children see his presence as out of the ordinary so they are more fascinated.  the thing is stereotyping is a waste and the only reason men might be more suited to those is because of physical strength/endurance.  i don't see why women can't be of value in the careers you mentioned. there are women that could do these jobs better than some men. jobs women *might* be better at: childcare worker, social worker, wedding planner, nurse, cna. i've worked as a cna and i have worked with only one male. not saying men cannot do these jobs well too. jobs a woman can do better: prima ballerina, hooters girl, stripper at a men's club, playboy bunny (they still have them), soprano singer.  communication/language jobs like teaching, psychology, sociology, nursing, there are men that are well suited for all of these jobs, but more women have more of the skills needed to do well in these areas. all of these jobs require patience and nurturing and listening, and i think more women have those qualities than men.

Nowadays teenagers have a lot of problems. i would like to discuss russian and american ones. all teenagers are fed up with their study. they get many homework at school, take exams, enter university. but what about their problems? russian teenagers are experiencing the lack of attention to them of parents. parents are busy with their career and earning money. i don't mean each parent but some don't care what their children do. such attitude can lead to misunerstanding between generations. the second problem is doing badly at school and computer games. the former distracts them from study. youngsters don't want to study to build their future. speaking about the american youth, it consumes drugs, begins sex relationship with girls at early age, chooses the wrong track. in priciple, all the youngster's problems depend on parents. they must make them study, bring up and take care of them. сам писал. удачи вам завтра на уроке.

Летние каникулы закончились.  зима с ее снегом здесь,  и как далеко от сегодняшнего дня  до нового года? подумайте о подарках и открытках.  подумайте о рождественских елках.  это не займёт у вас много времени,  если вы   побываете там в своих снах. ветрено и холодно.  жизнь скучна, и не весела.  и сколько времени займет наш полет от снега к солнцу? ты будешь в порядке.  солнце будет светить,  там не будет снега или дождя.  это не займет много времени,  если вы отправитесь туда на самолете. мы не нашли самолет, мы взяли большой воздушный шар.  и сколько времени займет наш полет  от земли до луны? идите вместе, идите вместе.  не забудьте спеть эту песню, если вы не ходите в одиночку.  это никогда не будет занимать у вас слишком много времени.
