let Ss Re-telling,one student can fill in the blanks. Not having

looked ahead

and planned better, Lala felt very worried about the preparations for her feast. So she turned for home quickly with her collection of nuts, melons and other fruit .When she was near home,

She saw her mother and aunts preparing the deer and pig meat over the fire. Just then Dahu, her husband, as well as the best toolmaker, came back with several fish. Later he began his task: he sharpened

his scrapers until they were sharp enough to cut up the meat and to scrape the fish. Step VII

Debate

From the reading passage, we can see that long ago men and women had quite separate responsibilities. Men’s tasks: making tools, fishing, making fire, protecting the family from wild animals, cutting up meat.their tasks were periodic,dangerous and require more strength. Women’s tasks: collecting nuts and fruit, making and sewing clothes, looking after baby, preparing food, doing housework. their tasks were continuous and careful. Now some people say: “It is women that should stay at home and take care of the family.”

Do you agree or not? Please debate the topic and show your opinions
