A- Your school English-language magazine is running a writing

B- The newspaper you read has a new section for readers to write their
opinions. Here is an example:

Dear Editor,
I admit that a lot has been done for women's equality. Of course young
women today live more freely than their grandmothers. Even most men
have realized that they have to help us women with the housework and
child rearing.
Nevertheless, there is still much to do. Although we women are most of
the graduates, we are still under-represented in leadership positions.
Marion Fickhart, Coventry

You decide to take part by writing a letter to the section. You want to deal
with the following ideas:
· Changing role of women in today's society.
· Reconciliation of family and work.
· How to reach these goals.
