Listening text

I don’t think women are given a fair chance to have as good a career as men for three reasons. First, girls have more difficulty getting an education than boys. If there is little money in the family, boys will get the first chance to go to school. Even if girls do begin school, they often leave

ARE WOMEN GIVEN A FAIR CHANCE?

earlier to help the family or to go to work.It is often felt that girls will marry and look after another family but that boys must earn money for the family. This way of thinking prevents some girls from training for a career. Second, women have more difficulty getting to the top of their chosen career.

Most people who run companies are men.

So they choose other men to succeed

them. This means that women get fewer

chances to show how good they are at

running businesses. Unless they are given

the opportunity, they will never be able to

show that they can run companies

successfully.

Third, women are more likely to give up their careers to look after children orrun the house. This is because these kind of responsibilities are considered women’s work. However, men do not have this problem. They can work long hours and go on business trips. They can improve their career chances since the family is cared for at home.
