Hi Liz, would you have a look at this essay? I have a high demand for IELTS
score and don’t know if I can get one. Thanks for your help, it would be a pleasure for me
if I can get your response.

Although women take a higher percentage, more than 50% in a total workforce of
industrialized countries, men are a dominant class by holding a certain number of senior
positions in companies. to my point, i must say that key positions should be shared to
both male and female, depending on their performances, not to make an equal
proportion.
It is undeniable that authorities play an essential role, and determine the future of its own
companies, so there should be applicants who fit the positions validly in efficacy and
proficiency. for example, what the products they mainly invest in, how much the budget
will be spent on marketing, is decided by the CEOs of companies. hence, if these leaders
appear without capacity and vision in this field, they will put an end to their factory’s
lives.
As regarding biological perspective, women are likely to be manipulated in feelings;
therefore, emotional decisions are made instead of strict ones. obviously, either managing
employee or negotiating with a partner, emotional influences can lead to a financial loss,
by keeping ones that should be rejected or commi ing to unprofitable terms and
conditions.
However, giving women an opportunity to prove they qualified also bring a variety of
benefits. for instance, varying the gender of the dominant class can offer companies
diverse opinions and creative strategies for handling the challenges of the complicated
economy. in addition, the female leader can also be ideal for negotiation due to their
gentleness and flexibility to reach an agreement that harsh approaches are arduous to get.
in conclusion, the distribution of gender across senior positions is unnecessary and
should depend on individual efforts rather than on their gender, but each gender, both
male and female have their own different talent.

Hi Liz,

Thank you very much for your invaluable articles that are helping many aspiring IELTS
candidates like me.

This is my first comment and hoping you could help me review my task-2 essay. I have
my exam in another 8 days from now. Thanks in advance and appreciate if you could
help:

###
It is an undeniable fact that very few top positions in an organization are held by women,

https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-essay-ideas-female-staff-in-senior-positions/ 2/5
7/26/2019 IELTS Essay Ideas: Female Staff in Senior Positions
despite the reality that there are more female workers in the workforce compared to men.
As a result, many argue that certain percentage of these positions needs to be reserved for
women. While I agree that more women deserve to be in executive roles, I disagree with
this idea of reservation based on gender.
It is quite astonishing that even in the advanced countries, women are denied managerial
jobs not because of their qualifications but due to their gender. However, reservation
system is not the right solution, in a sense that companies sometimes might end up
recruiting an unqualified candidate in a bid to fulfill the reservation category. Therefore,
other efficient ways of dealing with this problem needs to be considered.
One such way of resolving this issue is by introducing stringent company policies
wherein a strict action including termination needs to be taken against those individuals
indulging in gender biasing during the recruitment process. This way, a skilled and
qualified candidate is appointed irrespective of their gender.
Another way of overcoming this is by ensuring that the educational institutions
incorporate this subject of gender equality right from the school curriculum. Even though
this is a long term approach, it will make sure that future generation of recruiters will give
importance to the required skill set, educational qualifications and other leadership skills
rather than indulging in gender partiality.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that instead of reservation, other realistic and more result
oriented approaches needs to be considered to ensure proper talent is rewarded.

world has changed a lot than past, but men still hold the right to seize some
higher level positions in almost every field some say this is hindering women’s success.
some experts suggest that reserving certain job positions for women could make both
gender have equal place in the world . for several reasons , I believe that this idea could
have bad effect on some other experts male workers .

to begin , it is undoubtedly true that women have shown their worth in society by
standing up for their rights , history has illustrates that there were numerous of women

who fought for their nation with dignity and helped men to conquer our most intractable
challenges . however , their willingness to put enemies down is still being admired by
large number of men solders. this is why some people believe that women deserve same
positions in high level jobs as men do.

on the contrary , almost everyone does its best to get top position in job sector . the notion
of saving some jobs for women can bring criticize among both gender .in other words ,
companies always choose their employees by assessing their organizational skills and life
experience not by any gender. moreover , this idea could force the mighty organizations
to hire women even when the job requires expert employees which makes owner of
company disappointed .furthermore reserving job for women would prevent some men
to get a good career because companies would have to close down men recruitment , so
they can have same number of women . Not to mention , it is not like there is not any
women who is not selected as top supervisor in any company.Again it is up to the
performance that they do during their whole life and in interview.

To conclude , i would like to say it again , work has nothing to do with gender , giving
opportunities to women by saving some top jobs in mighty organization would make
companies put be er male workers down on the name of equalizing gender in the work
place.

please Ma’am, replay as soon as possible , is my essay worth 6 bands ??????????

Hi Liz
In writing section part 2, if we completely agree to the statement in the question, do we
still have to provide points which are against that statement?
