Point 1 2

Paragraph 1

i´d like to begin this composition by saying that I think both parents should be encouraged to take
an active part in looking after their children. In the past, and also nowadays in many countries, it
was always the man who went out to work leaving his wife at home to take care of the children.

Paragraph 2

However, society is beginning to change and there needs to be more flexibility both at home and at
work. This already happens in some parts of the world, particularly in Scandinavia, where both
men and women are offered maternity leave. Not only would the family benefit from this
flexibility, but also companies, which would have happier workers.

Paragraph 3

In conclusion, therefore, I believe that both parents should be given the choice of deciding who
will stay at home and who will go back to work. Although companies in my country, and men,
might take a while to accept this idea, I think that it is an inevitable part of social change.
