Nowadays, women or girls are not treated equally. For example, in the poor, suburban areas, girls have no chance to have a further education. What's your idea of this phenomenon (现象)? What do you think is an

effective way to improve it? Suggested answer:

It is unfair. Women play a significant role in the society. They also make contributions to the development of the society. We should realize it and show our respect for them. As women/girls, we should have confidence in ourselves and do our best to show that we are as excellent as men/boys.

Only by making ourselves better can we gain others' respect. Step 6. Homework
