The similarities and difference between men and women

Emily Chen
Traditionally, housework would always be done by the women and men always do outside work. Nowadays, this has changed a little that it is not longer one』s responsibilities. Between men and women』s responsibilities inside the home, there are some similarities and several differences. For similarities, both men and women would throw away the garbage together. For example, in my family, my father always takes out the garbage with my mother after we finish the dinner. Secondly, like women, men cook in the special day, such as birthday party or the important festivals. For instance, last year of my mother』s birthday, my father cooked a big dinner for her and we had a good time together. Thirdly, like women, men clean up the rooms with their family members. On the day before the Chinese New Year, my father always dominates us to clean up the house. For all of the examples above are the similarities between men and women. For differences, men usually will do the outside work, which can be gardening, in contrast, women will do the inside work, which is washing dishes. Secondly, men repair electric equipments whereas women wash clothes. Men always do the more difficult things in compare of women do the simple things. Thirdly, women always go to supermarket to buy meats and vegetables whereas men always watch TV at home. Because women has a better sense of direction in do supermarket. For all of the examples above are the differences between men and women. In brief, there are several similarities and differences between men and women. In other words, they would have similar responsibilities and different jobs to do. As long as men and women can work together and help each other, there will be no difficulties between them.

Men' and Women' Responsibilities Inside the Home

Men’ and Women’ Responsibilities Inside the Home
Cathy
Everyone has responsibility in the home. I will introduce the similarities and differences between responsibilities of men and women inside the home. Women do housework everyday and men do housework. The reason is that women are the same as men. If women do housework everyday, that is not fair. Also women and men take care of their children together because most women work. They not only work but also take care of children that are very tired. The last similarity is that women and men both cook for families because cooking for families is a happy thing that is not a work for women. In contrast, there are some differences between responsibilities of women and men inside the home. Men repair broken furniture whereas women do not do that because men are much better to repair things than women. Moreover, men do not do the darning for families because women do things more carefully than men. The last one is men do not buy kitchenwares whereas women do that. The reason is that men are not good at choose commodities. They do not know how to choose a cheapest and best commodity, and they think choose something in store is a terrible thing that waste many time. In addition, women are same as men, they need partake something inside the home.

Haruka's paragraph

Men’s and Women’s Responsibilities inside the Home
Haruka
In Japan, women have a lot of things to do in a house, so men had better help women more. Most women do not only the works that need knowledge of how to do but also the physical works. That is, every works are done by women. For example, women usually prepare dishes and cups for eating on a table while they are cooking. In contrast, men are watching TV or reading books until foods are brought on the table. Another example is that women wake up earlier to cook whereas men are still sleeping while women are working. Women have to make foods for lunch which men and their children bring, so they wake up early even cold and dark morning. Sometimes men get angry when women forget to wake them up. However, some men who are particular about food cook like women. Also some fussy men clean up their house because they can’t be satisfied with their wife cleaning. The reason that most men don’t do house work is the old view which ‘women work inside, men work outside’. However, women’s work is harder then men because women must work every day, so men should help women more than now.

Household chores in china

Bowie


Men and women play different roles in China. For household cores, most parts, men and women share different responsibilities. Women always sweep floor, do he laundry and clean dishes. Men’s normal works are fixing houses and gardening. In the other way, they have same responsibilities such as the children’s education. Due to they get the same level of education in school, they can teach their children easily. According to online survey, 70% couples share their responsibilities about throwing garbage. The rule is who go to work earlier, who throws out garbage in the morning. In a word, women and men share the same or different household chores in different countries.

Men’s and Women’s Responsibilities inside the Home
Vika


If we look back to the past, we can see that women and men had quite different responsibilities. Only women had to care about the house and try to make it comfortable. Besides that, they were considered to be keepers of the home center while men were supposed to provide finances for the family. Nowadays, the situation has definitely changed. Men can share responsibilities with women. Sometimes men can have the status of the houseman. For example, they can cook, clean about the house and look after children like women. In addition, house chores have become a part of their responsibilities. Unlike their previous position in a family, women could now work as much as men. As for the differences, I also can say that women still tend to pay attention to children more than men do. Generally, women and men are said to be equal in their responsibilities inside the house. However, women have more responsibilities due to their nature. So, this comparative paragraph can let you see similarities and differences of men’s and women’s responsibilities.

By Eunji

Between Men’s and Women’s
By Eunji


In my country, about twenty year ago, there were responsibilities inside the home that have a lot similarity. For example, the men usually clean washroom same as the women does. When they need some foodstuffs, they go grocery shopping together. Lots of women have a good ability when they work, so recently lots of women have a good job same as men. In contrast between men and women have lots of different things. The women need more intellectual things, an example man does not balance the household account, just the woman does. Fixing things around house for the men’s job, woman does not do that kind of things. I think that men and woman have to share everything together then the marriage will be more successful from everything.

Compare Paragraph----Ben

Compare Men and Women
Ben
Men and women have many similarities and differences about responsibilities in side the house. It has many similarities between men’s and women’s responsibilities in side the house. First of all, men have the same responsibility as women to do the household chores. Second, they both have able to do these works. Finally, according to the law, men and women are equal in daily life, and they have the same right to do or not to do. So, the men do the same work as the women.
On the other hand, men and women have many differences while they are doing in side the home. According to some cultures, men have more responsibilities work in-side and out-side than women. Besides, men have more strength than women, so men can do more works than women, and men can do many hard works. For example, if fixing something, then, it needs more strength, however men can do it better than women. In fact, men always work out side, but women work in side the house. In a conclusion, men and women are both have the same responsibility, but the different thing between them is doing the household chores in different way.

Roles of Men and Women
Victor
There are many similarities and differences between men’s and women’s responsibilities inside the home. Typically, women do more work than men inside the home in our country, because men should earn money outside the home whereas women should do the housework inside the home. Mothers often do some cleaning and washing inside the home whereas fathers hardly do things like that. Both of the parents often do some cooking; sometimes children should do that by themselves when both of their parents are not at home. Shopping is a task which is done by the whole family. Parents often take a car to do that after work whereas children do that on their way home. In addition, men typically have more strength than women, so they can mend or repair some things in the house. Parents also have the right to make some decisions inside the home. Fathers decide what to eat, when to eat and if they need to change their address whereas mothers decide what is needed to buy and what should they watch on TV. Moreover, neither of the parents does things like throw the garbage away nor folds the bedding, because these are the tasks of their children’s
In conclusion, I’d like to say that the whole family members have the responsibilities inside the home. It helps them to get along with each other and live together very well.

Men and Women
By Jimmy
In many countries, women’s responsibilities are same as the men’s. That is not like your thinking the women have to pay attention and do household chores. Also women should go outside to earn money for the family as men do. Now many people promote equal rights. Indeed, men can also do household chores as women do. Therefore, what is different between men and women? Before women’s job is only taking care of all family such as cooking, housekeeping, etc. Of course the men’s job is to earn the money to supply family’s every stuff. Now between men’s and women’s responsibilities are similar. They both have to take care of family, and they have to share their chores for each other. That’s why they don’t have time to spend this thing. Therefore, they have to be equal. As the result, women have to become more independent.

Household Chores
Andy


In Hong Kong, most of the household chores are done by mothers, and only a few are done by fathers. Washing dishes is done by mothers as well as fathers. It depends on who has more time and energy. Mothers take care of children just like fathers, but fathers usually are the punisher in the role of taking care of children because they can act to become stricter than mothers. Laundry, house cleaning and cooking are usually mothers’ chores because fathers work-out whereas mothers work-in, which means fathers have less time at home to learn how to cook and do the cleaning than mothers. The other house chores that usually are done by fathers are repairing and creating simple furniture such as shelves, cupboard and small tables. The traditional minded people in the society separate the household chores that father or mothers do.

Men’s and Women’s Responsibilities inside the Home
by Darina


Around the world, there are many differences in responsibilities between men and women inside the home. There are some similarities and differences between men and women responsibilities inside the home in my country. Actually I don’t understand why it should be some separation. Men like women have to take care about the family. Because when you establish a new family, you have to be responsible for it. Also men have to clean a mess after themselves, like women do. It is an educational issue. If you were fostered by cultured parents, you definitely used to live in a clean and tidy place. Menthe same as women must do their share of raising children and bringing them up. On the other hand, it is a big difference between women and men responsibilities. Because traditionally men used to be stronger and tougher than women, they have to look after family’s income, when women have to plan family’s expenses. Men, in contrast with women, have more skills in technical equipment of the house. In the same time, women usually have better idea of raising the children and keeping the house spotless and snug. Whereas men rarely start contentions, women are more vulnerable. So it is easier to hurt women than men. On these examples you can clearly see how similar or different sometimes women and men responsibilities inside the home are in Russia.

Travelling by Car
By Darina


There are many different types of travelling in a summer season. A car that is one of these types is the best way to do it, because of the several reasons. This is the cheapest way to travel. For many people the financial aspect is very important, so it is a good way out of this problem. Also it is very comfortable, so you can bring anything you want to feel more convenient. It can be a toy, your favourite music CDs, books, magazines, and another treats. Travelling by car also gives you a freedom of actions. You can stop wherever you want for your comfort. Because you do not have to worry about time, you can easily enjoy beautiful views and fresh air. Taking pictures of glorious views will fill you up with positive emotions and a good mood. One more advantage of travelling by car is a company of your close friends. You have a great opportunity to pick up these people and have fun during your trip. According to social experts, car travellers are 37.4 percent of the world’s population. On the previous examples you can clearly see that travelling by car is very beneficial. I think it is the best way of summer refreshment.

Thank you.

About an Unlucky Day by Haruka

About an Unlucky Day
Haruka
I think most of people have experienced of unlucky days, but nobody knows why many unlucky things come one time. For me, today is a completely unlucky day. First of all, I had caught a cold yesterday night. Because of it, I felt very bad in this morning. I didn’t want to get up. As a result, I missed my bus. Second, a teacher returned our quizzes in a reading class. My score was terrible, so I just froze. Third, I went to the Bay after my class because my friends will come to Canada from Japan in this weekend, so I wanted to buy some bottles of maple syrup for them. However, I could not find the place of souvenirs for long time then shoppers talked with other customers, so I could not ask. Later I find them and held three bottles without looking their price. Therefore, I paid more money than I expected. When I run to an entrance, the bus to my home passed in front of the entrance, so I must have waited more 30 minutes in cold air. It made my condition worse. Finally, I remembered promising to meet with my friend while I was riding the bus. After I arrived home, I called her and apologized. Like this, much unlucky always comes one time. Everyone wants to avoid it, but it is very hard, so if you know how to solve this problem, please let me know.
Haruka Sata (Biography) I was born in Japan. My life from now is not so thrilling. I went to a usual second school, high school and university. However I wanted to more thrilling life, so I came here for 1 year. Now my life is very calm but happy.

Trace Elements

Trace elements are elements that are found only in few quantities in the body. Through the trace elements are very few, they’re very important to people’s health. Trace elements are usually known as micronutrients. People can receive the trace elements from the food, and if you don’t have them for a long time you will got sick. At present, more than 20 kinds of trace elements are already fond by chemists. According to this, we know that receive appropriate iron, iodine, copper, zinc and so on are very necessary. For example, iron can help the haemoglobin be made, then the haemoglobin will help the heart to receive the oxygen. The trace elements are also important to endocrines, vitamins and nucleic acids. It'll cripple the system of both endocrines and vitamins without trace elements, they can't work as usual. And if people’s body don't have the trace elements which can cause the metabolism of nucleic acids break down. However, the trace elements are elements which are very important to our bodies.

Hepatitis C is a kind of sickness that can leads to serious problems which we could die from it. Hepatitis C is a RNA virus and discovered in 1989. When it was first found, it was called Non-A, Non-B hepatitis. Hepatitis C isn’t a very common disease, only one or two percents of people in the world have this disease. Compared with the hepatitis B, hepatitis C causes the sense of feeling tired is much weaker, which is easier for us to ignore it. This sickness usually infects us through our body fluid, and mostly by blood. The sick period of this disease is very long; it is discovered after our liver are infected for ten years; the sick livers slowly turns to cirrhosis after another ten years, only thirty percents of people’s livers get cancer after they get infected for thirty years. The only way to check how serious are our liver damaged is to do the “liver slicing test”. There aren’t any medicine can cure hepatitis C right now. In order to prevent from this disease, we should not contact everyone’s body fluid easily because no one wants to be sick.

Hepatitis is a word meaning “inflamed liver” which is often caused by a virus. It is a serious disease that killed a large group of people. There are three common types of hepatitis: A, B and C, and hepatitis C is the most common infection. All of them can be spread from one person to another. They are spread throughout the body. A person can be infected with more than one type of hepatitis. So it’s important to get a vaccination. However, unlike A and B, there is no vaccine against hepatitis C. As a result, there are more and more people infected with hepatitis C. For example, in the United States, about 35,000 new cases of hepatitis C are estimated to occur each year. (www.119.com) Treatment is also important, but the course of treatment is hard to learn. The people with hepatitis C will die if they don’t get a good treatment. Hepatitis C becomes one of the most serious diseases in the world.

In the same way, Hepatitis C is similar as other illnesses, which is spread with blood, such as, using the same needles, spoons, drug equipment and “being born to a mom with Hepatitis C.” The most important thing is that Hepatitis C serious affects people’s livers. At the beginning, the disease comes with fatigue, fever and pains. Then urine turns to dark brown and eyes may turn yellow. At the end, it damages people’s livers. Obviously, it is dangerous for people and lots of people died because of this illness. However, in 1998, the government of Canada established a new program to help to get away from Hepatitis C and it helps people a lot. In conclusion, Hepatitis C is a terrible illness that infects from blood and harmful for people’s health.

Hepatitis C by Marcelino

Marcelino

Hepatitis C


Hepatitis C is a virus that affects the liver. It is an infectious blood borne viral disease and it’s caused by a virus called Hepatitis C virus (HCV). This is a small virus about 50nm in size that has a fast rate of replication, about one trillion particles in an infected individual each day. The problem with this viral disease is that it also has a high mutation rate, so that makes it easy to elude the host’s immune response. The HCV is transmitted by blood to blood contact. For Example: By Blood transfusion with infected blood, drugs use, also by sexual relations, and most of the times it is asymptomatic. If Hepatitis c is not treated, it can degrade to Chronic Hepatitis, which can cause more than just liver inflammation, but also cirrhosis and liver cancer. Unlike Hepatitis A and B, there’s not a vaccine yet to prevent the virus spread that causes the infection.

What is a bad student by Haruka

What is a Bad Student
Haruka

A bad student is a person who is dull about studying. There may be one student in each class. I’m going to tell you about three characteristics of bad students. First, a person who always comes late to a class but asserts his innocence is a bad student. Many people may have an experience to being late, but in a case of a bad student, he doesn’t think that being late is bad. Even if he thinks so, he does not try to come on time. When teachers caution him, he always excuses himself for being late. It is clear that he is dull about studying. Second, a person who makes much noise and interferes classmate’s studying is a bad student. In this case, he is not interested in studying and also troubles other students who want to study hard. I think he is a worst student. Finally, a person who gives up easily to study is also a bad student. It is essential to be patient when you learn new things, but he gives up as soon as he has a difficult problem. As a result, he can not learn many things. Therefore, a student who is dull about studying is a bad student even if he or she always gets a high grade.

Sailboats

Sailboats


A sailboat is any kind of vessel that uses wind instead of engine or physical works as its main propulsion system. This type of boat requires more than just the sail. They need a keel, that is part of the hull and goes in the center of it under the water, and also a rudder. Both in combination make the boat able to keep the desired direction, or heading, in marine terminology. The sail, usually made of Dacron, works in the same way an airplane uses a wing. The wind hits the sail on a determined angle that pushes the boat for the difference of pressure between the inside ad the outside part of it. In fact most sailboats can navigate all directions, even against the wind, but the angle on which the wind hits the sail has to be about the same. And changing the way the sails are settled can be possible thanks by the pulleys and ropes system called rigging.

Fashion is an art that allows people to express themselves. Fashion is a part of expression that people can show their personal art. Everybody has different opinions about fashion, fashion is really important. An example is when people meet somebody for the first time, the first impression is important. When we go to a Christmas party or someone invites us to a dinner party, we should dress up because that is polite. Fashion is not important to everybody. In fact, some people don’t want to care about the way they look then it’s alright because everybody has different tastes about fashion. Fashion is a good way to express ourselves.

Psychology

What is Psychology? Psychology is a science that is concerned with a person’s soul and spiritual life. It comes from the Greek words “psyche”- soul and “logos”-science. Psychologists usually investigate and explore a human temperament that may consist of his/her behaviour, thoughts and actions. According to psychologists, people can be divided into special groups which help them to define an individual’s personality. In addition, it depends on what kind of person you are. For example, people can be classified into the four groups: choleric, phlegmatic, sanguine and melancholic. A melancholic is a person who is usually in a depressed state and besides that, he/her mood is bad and restrained. A sanguine is always an energetic person, whose mood is constantly changing. As for the choleric, they have high level of psychological activity. And the last presenter of these groups is phlegmatic who can be described as a person with a low psychological activity, slowly and belt up. Furthermore, people can be categorized into the optimists and pessimists. So, we can see that Psychology has a lot of aspects which can be described.

A mp4 player is a multi-media device that can play music, movies and show pictures. The purpose of this product is to entertain people, so it has a colourful LCD screen, which is important for showing pictures and movies. It is not bulky, but is small enough to fit in your pockets, when compared it with a discman, which is a portable CD player, a mp4 player is more portable that makes everyone feels convenience. It's size is close to a mp3 players but with more functions. According to the people who use mp4 players, they can enjoy or pause music and movies anytime, anywhere. Some mp4 players have built-in memory while some of them use outboard memory. It depends on customers’ concern. A few models do have a camera that allows you to take photos. Some mp4 players also have games inbuilt. As the development of mp4 players becomes more and more perfect, I believe it will replace mp3 players in several years.
