A good example paragraph
I believe that family is one of the most important structures in society. It is within the family that children can learn how to get on with other people and how to behave, and these things are important for life the wider world. The family should also be a stable unit that provides love and support for children. Without this love and support, children might find it difficult to manage in the wider world. For example, children without loving, supportive parents could feel unable to do the things they would like to do, like going to university.

Once, the traditional structure of two parents with two children was the most common family type in Western countries like the UK and the USA, but this is changing. New family structures include one-parent families and families with children from more than one marriage. These new family types are becoming increasingly common. Different family structures mean that many children live with a variety of full, step or half brothers and sisters.

If more women go out to work, this cold affect the children in the family because they are not receiving the attention they need. Many people claim that children are happy when both their parents are working, but someone needs to look after the children and the home, and women are often better at this role.

Having brothers and sisters means that a child learns how to socialize with other children from a young age and this is incredibly beneficial for them. They also grow up and grow old with an existing support network around them. Which people with no brothers and sisters may not have. An only child can also be very lonely.

It is not a child’s job to cook, clean or help in the home. Children should be playing and having fun because childhood is the only time when they will be free from work. Children should be developing rather than becoming tired doing housework. Although many argue that helping in the home teaches children to look after their environment and to be clean, children can learn these things in other ways than through housework.

In a family, both men and women should be employed outside the home and share childcare equally. To what extent do you agree with this statement?
a. The economic benefits and the general benefits to children are the reasons why I believe that men should work outside the home and women should not. These traditional roles have worked successfully for a long time. Therefore, in my opinion, they do not need to change now.
b. Also, women should be the main careers for their children. Although some people argue that women should be able to work outside the home, this is hard when there are children. Women give birth to the children and they need to be with them when they are small. It is also better for the children to grow up with a parent who is always at home. Being looked after by a professional carer is not as good for children.
c. Nowadays, the traditional roles of men and woemn have changed. More men help in the home and more women go out to work. Some people say that this is a good thing, while others say that this is a negative thing. I believe that men should go out to work and women should stay at home. I believe that this is more economically efficient, and it is also better for children.
d. The traditional structure of men working and women staying at home means that the family has more economic benefits. A man working full-time is likely to earn more money thatn a man and woman both working part-time. Also, it means that the woman can do things at home to save money, like making clothes or growing food.
