Question

【題目】Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

Working women with young children often face a dilemma(進退兩難的困境) of whether to keep working or to quit to take care of their children. Though the fact that married women work outside the homes has become a social trend, many people still expect mothers to stay home until their children are two or three years old. In my opinion,it’s unfair to deprive(剝奪) mothers of their right to keep working only for the reason of childcare.

Women also need a sense of achievement just like men. Working women often find it difficult to give up the chance of self-fulfillment(自我實現(xiàn)) and go back home to play the traditional role. The times that women should stay at home passed and we should not neglect(忽視) mothers’ desire to seek further goals outside the home.

Besides, taking care of children is both parents’ responsibility(責任) rather than only mothers’. Children belong to the father and the mother. So it is unreasonable to ask mothers to give up their jobs for childcare because it is also fathers’ duty.

Practically speaking, working mothers can help improve family finances. Though there’ll be extra expense for childcare service, working mothers have a steady income to help the family. Therefore, mothers’ working outside is good for the family, especially to those low-income ones.

In a word, to expect mothers to put childcare before everything is not practical in today’s society. Only if fathers and mothers cooperate can the problem be solved.
