　　From ideas to expressing：

　　University should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject.

　　To what extent do you agree or disagree?

　　现实生活中总难免会存在不平等的地方，比如男女之间的不平等、老少之间的不平等、上下级之间的不平等。在这里，我想谈一谈男女之间的不平等事宜，具体而言，就是我认为大学里各科目不应该追求男女比例相同的作法，因为这样的做法太走极端，从而忽视了性别之间毕竟存在着差异。

　　In real life, it is always hard to avoid inequalities. For example, there are inequality between men and women, young and old, inferior and superior. Right here, I’d like to talk about inequalities between men and women. To be more specific, I argue that universities should not pursue to accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject because this is an extreme way of doing things, ignoring the actual differences between the two sexes.

　　首先，我们应该承认，男女在社会中的角色是有差别的。男性比女性更适合做体力活，而女性则比男性更适合做文秘、护理方面的工作。某些科目其实是有很强的性别要求的。比如航海专业就更适合男性，我们总不能期盼女性在大海上漂泊几个月吧？再比如采矿专业，很明显，女性不太适合在矿井里工作，因为这份工作的危险性及对体力的要求都会比较高。

　　First of all, we should acknowledge that men and women have different roles to play in the society. Men can do a better job than women when the work requires a lot of strength. Women, on the other hand, have the edge on men in terms of doing secretarial and nursing work. Some subjects such as ocean navigation and mining are actually sex distinctive. After all, we cannot expect women to be bumping and floating on the sea for months. Nor can we expect women to work under a mine as this job is often filled with danger and has a relatively high requirement for physical strength of the laborers.
