Read Part A in Writing on page 93 in Workbook and find out what the article is about and how many parts this article can be divided into and what the main idea of each part is. So you can learn how to write an article to express your opinion. Then do Part B on the same page in class or as your homework.AnswersPart B (page 93)Do you agree with mums working?Today we had a discussion about working mums. The opinions were divided. Sixty-five percent of the students were for the idea of working mums. They stated the following arguments. First, mums have the right to work. Second, working mums not only bring in more money, but they can also feel proud of their success in work. Third, working mums are good for society.However, thirty-five per cent of the students were against mums working. They argued that mums do not have to work outside the home. If they do, there will be no one around to do the housework, like cooking the meals or cleaning the house. It is too expensive to hire a maid to do the work.Personally, I think it is up to the mums to decide what they want to be: a working mum or a housewife.111
