首先北京环球教育杨亮老师祝愿各位女性小伙伴三八妇女节快乐。接下来，咱们言归正传。很多烤鸭在备考阶段其实都没太重视过“性别类”题目。这完全可以理解。毕竟这个类别整体而言题目数量不多，并且出现的频率也着实有限。虽如此，还是能够每年如约而至。

　　今天杨亮老师带着大家一起盘点一下近些年较为重点的性别类题目。我们从两个层面出发，社会层面和家庭层面。这两个层面基本可以囊括近些年的该类别题目。

　　一、社会层面的题目

　　针对此层面的问题往往纠结于两个方面，社会责任和就业平等。请大家参考如下两个例题。

　　1.In many countries, women now are able to join the armed forces on equal basis with men; however, some people feel that only men should be members of the army, navy, or air force. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

　　2.Nowadays, some workplaces tend to employ equal numbers of men and women workers. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

　　前者这个题目在近些年多次出现，其实难度不大。显而易见，该题目聚焦于女性的社会责任。简言之就是探讨一下女性是否适合参军。值得各位在审题阶段重视的关键词是should。本题探讨女性是不是应该参军，而绝非是要否定女性参军的权利。

　　相比之下，第二个例题在思索论点和论点展开方面都会有些难度，比较值得大家在备考阶段注意。这个题目探讨的范围是女性在就业市场中平等问题。当然了，题目中对于性别就业平等的理解也有些偏颇，毕竟这个就业平等可不一定就意味着男性和女性员工一定要在数量上平等。

　　二、家庭层面的问题

　　这个话题领域的题目通常都是讨论男性和女性的家庭责任和角色的问题。先请大家参考下面例题。

　　1.Nowadays women have full-time work same as men. And logically men should share the household equally with women. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

　　2.In some societies，the role of a mother differs in some ways from the role of a father. Why do you think these differences exist? How might the parental role develop in the future?

　　3.In some countries, more and more fathers are staying at home to look after children, while mothers work fulltime. What are the reasons and is it positive or negative?

　　第三题无疑是论证家庭责任，而第四题就是明显的关于家庭角色的讨论。第五题则更像是前两者的结合。相比之前的社会层面的问题，家庭层面的问题显得更生活化，也就是更简单一些。考生们比较容易思考论点和论据。

　　三、不能踩的红线

　　其实在写性别类题目的时候，还真的是有些红线不建议大家触及。虽然我常年强调论点无对错之分，只要能够自圆其说就可以。但是对于一些暗含性别歧视的论点，还是不建议大家使用。因为这些论点根本就不能被合理地展开和论证。除非，在论点的展开和论证阶段大家还是不断的歧视某个性别。

　　虽然官方也强调过，考官在评分过程中不会被主观因素影响。但这也不意味着大家可以肆无忌惮地挑战社会公共认知。例如，在论证前文的第三个例题：男性是否应该和女性承担同等家务，非常不建议考生们使用论点：做家务是女性的责任，这是千百年来已经形成的家庭分工。我们不讨论这个论点的对错，但是这个论点怎么合理平等地展开呢？所以，此类言论大可不必出现在我们的作文当中。

　　通常而言，我们在雅思作文中会承认男性和女性两方面的不同。其一，就是性格的不同。相比之下女性更有爱心，耐心和亲和力。这就使得她们在一些特定的工作岗位上会有比男性更为突出的表现。其二，就是男性和女性的体格不同。在一些体力要求较高的工作中，男性还是有身体上的优势。

　　四、一个另类的例文

　　下文是例题1的例文。我在写这篇文章的时候，毫无疑问是杠精附体了。当然，对我而言，杠精附体是常态。当时就想着非得写一个和全人类想法都不同的文章。结果如下。供大家参考，博诸位一笑。

　　Wars, the most inhumane activities having killed billions of people throughout history, are always thought to be severely cruel to humans, consequently leading to the controversy whether females with emotional and physical vulnerabilities should be kept away from wars, and namely whether they are suitable for serving as soldiers or not.

　　Chiefly, it is widely accepted that the ideology of sexual equality should be diffused in our society, and authorities should try their best to eliminate sexual discrimination via offering fairness for females to take jobs in all walks of life. This is to say, joining in the military is a basic right that females should deserve. This essay will certainly not deny that women have this right but will prove that females’ waiving this right is strongly recommended.

　　The primary reason is that as a common morality (virtue), taking care of females and children belonging to the disadvantaged group in our society is taught to everyone, especially to males. As mentioned, wars are extremely cruel, meaning that serving in the military implies putting people in great peril. Obviously, in contemporary society, people have no excuse to put women in such dangerous situations who originally deserve fine care and protection from the public.

　　On top of this, females joining the army will unavoidably increase difficulty and the cost of the army’s management. Regulations and rules for protecting female soldiers from sexual harassment are seriously required. Furthermore, for providing equal circumstance for females building up more basic facilities like woman’s showering center and rest rooms immediately enhances the cost of investment from governments. What is more, most current military equipment is designed for male users, and this means that some specially-designed military equipment for women such as lightweight machine guns will be quite costly.  

　　To sum up, there is no one who can deny the right that females have of serving in any part of the military, and every citizen should show enough respect to this right. Nevertheless, unless women have to, they are not advised to be members of the army as the cost for both the administration and military equipment will be elevated substantially.
