In English, when two nouns go together in a specified order they are called binomials. If three go together they are call trinomials. Examples of this might be ‘aches and pains’, ‘last but not least’ and ‘cool, calm and collected’.
As you can see the nouns are often linked by conjunction such as ‘and’, ‘or’ and ‘but’. It is important that the order of the nouns is correct and that synonyms are not used for the nouns. This is because these words together create meaningful phrases which are spoken and written throughout English usage.
Learning binomials can be a fun way of expanding your English vocabulary. The combinations often create meaning that vary distinctly from the common usage of the nouns in the phrase. These are idioms and expressions and they are the hardest part of English for new learners to understand.

Application: Gender Influences at Work
Ideally, people select and pursue their careers based on their personal interests, their abilities, and their desire to make a contribution in/to a particular arena. However, the ideal is not always realized for a variety of reasons. One such reason is the presence of gender stereotyping related to aptitude for a specific career or skill, jobs, and careers, in general. Gender stereotyping may begin in school with girls and boys who are encouraged to pursue careers that stereotypically appear to be more fitting for one gender or the other. This type of stereotyping often results in discrimination and harassment in the school or training for the field, discrimination in the workplace, closed doors for some types of employment, and limited career opportunities.
Psychologists have posed many justifications for the stereotyping that impacts career choice and career success. It may be that boys and girls are directed differently to specific careers beginning in early education. It may be that parents influence their children toward or away from specific career paths by their expectations, dialogue, and even toys they give their children to play with. It may be the stereotyping and resulting discrimination related to training and education that influences the career paths of men and women. It may be the influence from society in general related to what are considered to be appropriate roles for both men and women.
Additional gender-related challenges exist once men and women get to the workplace. Though discrimination and sexual harassment are often seen as women's issues, men also experience discrimination and sexual harassment, especially in typically female-dominated occupations such as teaching, childcare, nursing, and some administrative positions. And while there may be a reduction in the occurrence of stereotyping, women historically have experienced discrimination that results in not being hired or promoted to upper management positions, unequal pay for equal work, and "glass ceilings" in many fields including health care, engineering, science, math, and protective services, just to name a few.
Psychologists continue to look for answers about why men and women behave differently and are treated differently in the workplace. Common explanations include the differences in communication styles often seen in men and women, issues associated with power struggles in the workplace, and societal expectations regarding roles of men and women.
For this assignment:
•Review web resources on, Gender: Psychological Perspectives. Focus on the gender-related differences and similarities in issues related to career selection, career success, and the work environment.
•Think about one specific career path, such as Clinical Psychology or Mental Health Counseling. Conduct research on the current gender-related statistics for the.

3. Results: Present urinary TNF-α concentrations and creatinine levels for all study groups. Perform statistical analysis to compare groups.
4. Discussion
The role and participation of women at the places of work has been a discussion topic in different platforms. Activists’ groups such as those of women have always struggled to get equal opportunities for representation with men at the workplaces. Additionally, women have put relentless efforts as they attempt to venture in different careers especially those considered as masculine. Nevertheless, women have always faced many problems at the workplace regardless of their efforts to achieve equal representation. This essay will therefore focus on Feminism & Women Rights.

A career is a long-term activity that you are passionate about and enjoy. It's a lifelong journey where you can evolve and grow. A job is a contract or temporary position that you need to work at in order to make money.
There are many reasons why people choose to go down the career path. They want to pursue their passions, they want more control over their life, they want to be able to grow into different roles, or they just want stability.
The choice of whether to pursue a career or not is one that should be made with consideration and thoughtfulness.
We have to think about our careers as a whole, and not just one job. Jobs are changing all the time, and what we do now may not be what we want to do in the future. But if you're able to find a career that you're passionate about, then you'll be happy with your work.
It's important for us to consider how our careers can change over time. Although it is hard for graduates to find a job right away, it's important for them to think about their future and what they want their career path to look like.
A career is a long-term commitment to a profession, company, or organization while a job is a short-term commitment.
A career usually provides stability and security while jobs are usually more temporary and can be lost with little notice.
A job is a paid position that someone may leave at any time. A career is a series of jobs that are related to one another, and that someone may have for many years.
A job is typically temporary, whereas a career can last for decades.
There are a lot of misconceptions about the difference between a job and a career. A job is typically seen as temporary, while a career is more stable. Entry-level jobs are often seen as only being for beginners and not for those who want to advance their careers. However, these notions are outdated and do not reflect the reality of today’s workforce.
This article will explore the differences between jobs and careers, why entry-level jobs can be just as fulfilling as other positions in an organization, and how to move from an entry-level position to something with more potential for growth.

1. You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
Woman and men are commonly seen as having different strength and weaknesses. Is it
right to exclude males or females from certain professions because of their gender?
Givereason for your answer and include any relevant examplesfrom your own knowledge
or experience.
Write at least 250 words.
Question Analysis
This is quite a difficult question to answer because of the way it is phrased. In order to
answer this question correctly we should analyse it carefully.
Keywords– Women and men/strengths and weaknesses
Micro-Key words– right to exclude/certain professions/because of gender
Instruction words– give reasons/relevant examples/own knowledge or experience
The first common mistake many students made was answering the question using the
keywords and ignoring the micro-keywords. These students wrote an answer about the
difference between men and women in the workplace and how certain jobs are better
suited to men or women. This is not what the question asks.
The second thing most students did wrong was either not supporting their ideas with
reasons or not, including examples from their own knowledge or experience. These
students just listed lots of ideas about the difference between men and women in the
workplace without fully explaining what they mean and how this is linked tothe question.
A good answer would specifically address the micro-keywords i.e. is it right to exclude
men or women from certain professions? The most important words here
are right, exclude and certain.
Idea Generation
2. Reasons why it is right to exclude men or women from certain professions:
Most men do not have the skills to work in certain professions, such as a nanny.
Society does not accept men who work in certain professions, such as a beautician.
Some women do not have the physical attributes to work in certain professions,
such as a soldier.
Society does not accept women who work in certain professions, such as a
construction worker.
Reasons why it is not right to exclude men or women from certain
professions:
It is unfair.
People should not be discriminated against because of their gender.
That view has no place in a modern, free society.
Excluding women from certain professions harms the economy.
We now need to think about which ideas to choose. I personally believe that women
should not be excluded from any profession, but my personal feelings do not matter in an
IELTS writing test. I should choose the ideas I feel confident explaining and supporting
with examples.
I will therefore write about why I think it is right to exclude men or women from certain
professions.

Model Essay 1:
Women and men are commonly seen as having different strengths and
weaknesses. Is it right to exclude males or females from certain professions
because of their gender?
Males and females are often viewed as having differing skill sets. It is agreed that it is
correct to exclude people from certain jobs on the basis of their gender, but only in very
limited circumstances. Thisessay will first discuss how physical attributesprevent women
from excelling in particular roles; secondly discuss how society at large rejects men from
undertaking certain careers, followed by a reasoned conclusion.
For many years the general consensus in the armed forces is that women should not be
allowed to participate in combat missions. This is because most women lack the brute
strength required for this particular occupation and it is therefore right to prevent them
from joining the ranks. For example, the American Army recently allowed some women
4. to fight on the front line and the Department of Defence deemed the experiment a failure,
due to lack of fighting effectiveness. Despite this, many women havefought in many wars,
famously on the Eastern Front for Russia and the Viet Cong in Vietnam, so maybe it is
men’s’ attitudes that prevent them performing rather than their stature.
Society has yet to accept men in many traditionally female positions, such as nanny or
beautician. Businesses feel that it is fine to not hire men for these posts because most of
their customers would not be willing to have a man perform that service. I personally
know of one example when a friend failed at the interview stage when applying to become
kindergarten teacher because he was the wrong sex.
To summarise, in limited circumstances it is just to prohibit people from certain
occupations, but only if they cannot physically perform or if the general consensus is that
it is a single sex post.

Model Essay 2:
It is evident that the gender gap is closing in the vast majority of occupations in today’s
society. However, some remain with the opinion that females and males are born to have
differences in terms of their vocational preferences. Despite this, I would argue in this
essay that it is wrong to exclude a certain gender from a certain occupation.
It is undoubtable that a certain gender could be more appreciated in some professions. It
is mainly determined by the biological differences between males and females. For
example, females are perceived to be more caring and nurturing by nature, so that they
could be more suitable working in nurseries and hospitals; whereas, males aremore likely
to be employed in mining and construction industries because they are physically
stronger. In those cases, the gender gap may remain in the short future.
However, for the vast majority of professions, making occupations more open to both
genders has significant advantages. Different genders could bring different perspectives
into work, which could generate more possibilities for a company’s development. For
example, a male nurse could offer his unique experience to a female dominated team in
order to promote a more holistic care to patients in both genders. Moreover, there is
5. evidence that a mixed gender working environment is often proven to be more efficient.
Therefore, companies could benefit from the different perspectives and efficiency that
mixed gender teams bring.
To conclude, although some occupations remain to be female- or male-dominant, there
aremore advantagestoallow both genders having thefreedom of their vocational choices.
Companies that facilitate this equality could benefit from the increased possibilities and
efficiency.

Model Essay 03:
There is a truth that the strengths and weaknesses of men and women quite differ due to
the disparity in their genders and apparently, it dramatically affects their opportunities
to do a specific work. However, I think that this reason is not strong enough to exclude
males or females from certain professions just because of their genders and wherever
possible, they should be given freedom of choice and gender equality in employment
should be encouraged. On theone hand, theargument that supports the jobs's orientation
based on their genders remains commonly dominant because these males or females
seem to have an apparent instinct and physical capability to excel other sex in
accomplishing their jobs. For example: Women seem to have a predominant role in
medical services thanks to their natural instinct of motherhood and feminity. Patients
would certainly fancy having female nurses to look after them than male nurses because
they enjoy the tenderness and the enthusiastic caring for the patients of these" white
blouse fairies" with their miraculous skills of soothing the patients' pain. Meanwhile,
there are some special jobs requiring a great deal of physical strengths and persistence
like coal sea-fare sailing and fishing, mineral mining or forest logging which used to be
done mainly by men because they have shown their extraordinary abilities to work under
high pressure and long-lasting endurance . On the other hand, in some occupations, the
matter of making jobs easily accessible to both genders has brought about some practical
advantages, not only for them but also the whole society. For instance: Female police
officers may better deal with the domestic violence and child abuse in the families thanks
to having a greater understanding of gender inequality and its adverse effects on the
6. emotions of every members and better strategies to tackle the conflict than their male
counterparts. Whereas, male kindergarten nannies probably have a better understanding
of the characters of young boys, leading to helping them form a good dignity and a strong
manner. Although these people only account for a little proportion of the whole labour
force, weare obliged to respect their freedom of choice in pursuit of a career tobring about
their job's self-satisfaction and respond to various and abundant demands of the society.
In conclusion, although thedifference in physical abilities and emotional feelings between
males and females has a large impact on the choice of jobs and the job assignment of the
society, in most of cases, it is possible toallow men to undertake many female-dominated
occupations and vice versa so that they can succeed in their chosen careers and serving
plentiful requirements of the society..

Model Essay 4:
Nowadays, when women and men become more equal than those in the past and more
and more women are occupying many important positions in society, there is still
suggestion that males and females should be excluded from some kinds of job. To a
certain extent, I agree with this opinion. First, there are some professions only suitable
for men, and one of which is construction work, for example. It is extremely difficult for
a woman toclimb between girders of Eiffel Tower and paint each of them. Or how can she
stand hanging outside a skyscraper for cleaning glass windows? Another example can be
found in military duty which probably cause soldiers lose their lives in battle field. It is
said that what a woman havetodo toserveher country is not sacrificing herself, but rather
giving birth for future generation. Second, only women's personality fit them particularly
to nursing profession which requires great patience and sacrifice. It is hardly expected
that a man characterized by aggressiveness and decisiveness is willing to pamper the
elderly fully erratic. And with strong personality, almost no man accept helping old people
with grooming and personal hygiene, which is widely regarded as a humble occupation.
However, it is not recommended, in general, to discriminate between men and women in
regards to their occupations. They should be equally granted opportunities with the aim
of promoting their talent to the limit. As can be seen in practice, we used to witness some
exemplary women being successful in science, two of them was Marie Curie awarded 1911
Nobel Prize in Chemistry and Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevskaya, the first woman appointed
7. to a full professorship in Northern Europe, and we have, at the present time, the most
powerful woman politician from Germany,Angela Merkel.In conclusion, we only exclude
males or females from a very few exceptional occupations. Otherwise it would be better
to encourage equality of job opportunity between men and woman.

Model Essay 5:
Woman and men are commonly seen as having different strength and weaknesses.
Therefore, they might be fit for different kinds of job. But most people have the concept
that some certain professions are only for one gender. So is it right to exclude males or
females from certain professions because of their gender?Personally, I think it can be
right or be wrong in certain situations. It's absolutely right to exclude women from some
dangerous and very hard works that need a lot of strength and energies such as building,
transporting heavy items,...Woman's body structure is different from man's, there might
be exceptions but I think that most women are weaker than men. Hard works can affect
their health if they're not strong enough, and it's dangerous if the work causes any lasting
injuries to their bodies. Morever, some professions require working late at night or
working in secluded places. Women - main victims of violence and sexual harrassment -
might be in peril. Unless they've prepared carefully to face with any dangers, women
should not choose those professions. However, it can be wrong if people exclude males or
females from some professions that they are actually good at. What do you think if you
see a man making up for others or a woman playing football? Centuries ago, many people
thought that women are not fit for intellectual jobs and there were schools for men only,
women had to stay at home and do houseworks. Later,people opposed strongly when they
saw a team of women played football because they thought that sports were not for
females. And men were also criticized and looked down on if they were found sewing or
cooking. Nowadays those negative thoughts have decreased but they haven't totally
disappeared. If the work is not very hard for them todo, if they're interested in it and they
have a flair for it, why don't we let them do it? Only when they do something that they
love can they become succcessful in the future. The better the workers are, the better
results they bring. I think we should encourage any talented person todo whatever he/she
is good at and we shouldn't consider gender as a problem, it can help developing a nation.
Some famous chiefs,make-up artists,... are not females, and some famous engineers,
8. footballers,... are not males, but they can make their own fame and lead a happy,
prosperous life. In conclusion, people should consider carefully how the jobs effect men
or women before excluding them from certain professions.

Model Essay 6:
There is no doubt that man and women possess different advantages as well as
disadvantages. Thus, some people think that males or females should not be allowed to
join several professions because of their gender. I myself disagree with this viewpoint. To
begin with, I believe that we should not prohibit males or females from any jobs due to
the following reasons. First of all, it is widely admitted that man or woman can now do
jobs that has long been for the other sex only. For example, in the past, women were not
allowed to join military in a lot of countries. However, nowadays, the percentage of
women in the army has significantly increased. Especially, a lot of women are even
becoming soldiers in the battle field like several female pilots of Qatar in the fight against
theso-called Islamic Statemilitants. Likewise, wearenow witnessing moreand more men
who are taking part in specific professions that require the women’s skills like tailors,
house-keepers, teachers at kindergartens, etc. Second of all, people believe that
performance in jobs likely to be better with the participation of both men and women. It
might be true that men and women effectively support each other as they have different
strengthand weaknesses.Interestingly,theworking environment seemstobe more lovely
and flexible with the presence of both genders. In addition, it will not be fair if we exclude
males or females from any jobs because we are trying to establish the gender equality.
People now are getting opener and opener in assessing men and women. Therefore,
grouping them in any professions seems to be an act that goes against efforts of building
parity between men and women. However, some claim that women are not suitable for
several tough jobs that have long been for men only because these professions require
standards like strengths, endurance and strong will. I find it hard to agree because it is
proved that women can contribute a lot in whatever role they play. They, for instance,
might not be part of military fights, but they will be incredibly useful in preparations or
assistances that are always essential and men can hardly bring out an equal performance.
Therefore, there should not be stereotypes in this case no matter what gender they are. In
conclusion, though males and females have different capacities, there is still room for
9. them to show their strengths and assist the other sex. From my perspective, recruiters
should keep an open mind toward men and women in order to choose employees that
they are looking for.

Model Essay 7:
Gender equality has always been a hot argument ever. Nowadays, men and women have
a larger freedom of choosing their occupation. However, many consider that there arestill
types of work for males or females dominantly. Therefore, they tend to prevent males or
females from certains posts because of their sex. In my opinion, I believe that it is not a
sensible attitude. Nobody can argue that men have their own distinctive innate strength.
It is often said that men are stronger than women so that men are usually employed in
several hardwork such as labourer in construction site, fishman, gold miner, police
officer, etc. On the other hand, women also have inborn advantages. They are supposed
to be more minute and careful than men, which help them have detailed posts like sewer,
fashion designer, nurse, teacher, etc. But this idea seem not to be practical todays. In the
modern times, most of the careers, which are supposed to be for males dominantly, are
done expertly by females and vice versa. For instance, there are a large number of famous
male fashion designer in the world. Their fame and items has claimed that men are
completely able to do female-dominated occupations with their passion and efforts.
Moreover, men can do a post that is considered only for women – midwife. More and
more male midwives are successful in helping mothers give birth to babies. Besides, a
female police officer can be more sensitive tocomprehend the situation or the motivation
of a crime and have right decisions to deal with it. In conclusion, the occupation of a
person depends on his liking, passion and fortes, not his inborn characteristics. The
difference in terms of sex-based work is gradually fading away.

Model Essay 8:
There have always been differences in the types of work men and women have done.
However, the trend in modern times has been for both men and women to have greater
10. freedom of choice in terms of employment. Some people might say that there is no need
to go further. However, in my view, wherever possible, gender equality should be
encouraged.
There may indeed be good arguments for allowing certain posts to remain predominantly
male or female. Where all-male or all-female groups exist, there may be a need for related
posts to be held by men and women respectively. Patients in all-female hospital wards,
for example, would probably appreciate having female nurses to look after them. It could
also be argued that certain jobs requiring a great deal of physical strength, coal mining or
logging, for example, should continue to be done mainly by men.
However, in the vast majority of situations, making occupations more open to both
genders has distinct advantages.Men and women can bring slightly different perspectives
and approaches to a job. Female police officers, for example, may have a greater
understanding of domestic violence and a better range of strategies for dealing with this
problem. Male primary school teachersprobably havea better understanding of theneeds
of young boys and can serve as good role models for them.
The changes that result from allowing men into female-dominated occupations and vice
versa may be subtle, but they are far-reaching. However, to benefit the most from this
development, it is important not to expect males and females to approach work in
identical ways.

Model Essay 9:
Born differently, women and men have their own roles to play in society. It is common
for us to see more women in some certain professions, like nurse and teacher, while a
larger number of men in other sectors. However, it would never be a wise choice to
exclude certain gender in any profession.
To begin with, it is a matter of sex equality. Women have always been depicted as gentle
and vulnerable, to the extent that such conventional views often make them be seen as
weak or even inferior to men. Nevertheless, the situation has changed in modern society.
Women began to appeal for the equal rights, insisting they can also do whatever males
11. can do. Indeed, there is an increasing number in females soldiers, female engineers etc.,
the results of which turn out toprove that they can perform excellently in these sectors as
well. If those woman choose to engage themselves in certain jobs, why should any
authority deprive such right of them?
Moreover,the co-operation of women and men in one sector is also conducive toboosting
the work efficiency. For instance, those male nurses can help to carry some heavy
equipment in the hospitals, which would usually be an arduous task for females.
Possessing some different innate natures, men and women can jointly make an
achievement by taking advantages of their own strengths.
In fact, men and women working in the same profession can generate much more positive
results that we may not expect. A kind of job cannot only be monopolised by one gender
without a single person of the opposite sex, as it is not fair nor beneficial.
(275 words)
Model Essay 10:
It has argued that there are a different pro and con of the male and female people for
getting a job based on their physical strength and emotional characterisation. For my
point of view, the strengths and weaknesses of gender depend on the particular jobs or
works they have been applied to.
Firstly, the men seem to dominate to the work related to the strong physical bodies or
movements. This is explained why most of the builders or instructors are the male
workers.Furthermore, themale people are also suitable tothe job which has a technology
and engineering involvement such as electronics, telecommunication and others.
However, there are a lot of job, which women could overtake men in application. The job
related to the society or health care of patients. It is agreed that the nurses or child care
position might be good for women to apply than men. It might be because the women
have stronger emotional and more connection to the child or to the patients.
Several jobs which cannot define which gender are better than others. For example, the
kitchen works or chefs are the common works of women for everyday life. It seems to
12. advantage for a woman. But actually, most of the professional chefs are the male
domination.
In conclusion, it is hard to say that the men are better than the women or the women are
better than the men in the professional carriers because of their gender. Some jobs might
suitable for the men and others might good for the women. Males and females are
equalled in the carrier application.

Model Essay 11:
Gender has always been an issue for bot men and women in getting a job. Traditionally,
men are the ones who went out to work to earn money to support their family, whereas
women sat in the home and spent their time more on domestic chores. With time passes,
more women have started to get involved almost in every professions that the males are
already involved in. But there are certain professions which accept only a gender and
exclude other.
Some people would argue that it is more common that men get involved in jobs which
require physical strength but this is not the case with women. Because unlike the body
system of a male, the female body system is comparatively different and it is unhealthy
for the female body system toindulge in physically strenuous activity. The reason is it can
cause severe muscular or even chemical changes in the female body system which may
lead to certain diseases in their later life.
On the other hand, others would argue that the acceptance of employees should be based
on a person's personal interest, experience and knowledge but not on gender. For
instance, form thevery beginning, nursing was highly recommended and allowed only for
females. But today, more males are interested and qualified in the field, so the superiors
are also happy with employing more male nurses than female, particularly for dealing
with male patients.
Besides that, there is no much work in the world which specifies only for a certain gender.
For almost every job, whether it is high income or low income, both men and women have
evenly indulged in it. For instance, there are both males and females who are working as
13. cleaners which is a low income and there are both genders who are qualified in high
income jobs such as doctor and engineer.
To sum up, the views support the argument that certain genders should and should not
be excluded from certain professions. There are jobs that require hard work such as
working on the construction site, doctors and engineers and light work such as graphic
designing and office works. But it is more advisable for women to indulge more on light
work to avoid physical illness, however, this does not mean that the males are obliged to
work in physically demanding jobs while women work in less strenuous jobs. This
is preferably depends on the strength and the situation of the job, and
most importantly the person's interest in it.

Model Essay 13:
Stepping in to the competitive world, women have set their foot in every walk of life.
However, in much of the world some areas are still male-dominated. Are men impossibly
holding their higher ascendancy above women? I believe that a great many
people,especially men hold the answers that “ it is obviously true”. In my perceptions,
success is in the hands of those who dare to walk on the path of fire and thorn to claim
their talents. In other words, gender equality should be widely promoted in today’society,
both males and females can assume their responsibility for any professions.
Thefirst point to note is that society does not assign either males or females todo a certain
kind of job and gender discrimination is no longer valuable, in comparison with the past.
Modern community treats us the same social conditions and the same advanced
education. That means we have more and full chances to develop ourselves in every area
at highest level. Thus, the most skillful person will be appointed to an important post, no
matter whether they are males or females. It is said that the 21st century marks an
unmistakable progress in occupational segregation which has cracked many authorities’s
brain. Emerging as a typical example of the success, Japanese government makesthe best
of reviving a crowded female workforce and promulgating the laws of openness in
professions. History predicates that Japanese women, especially married have
experienced a period of gender discrimination that they did not have any chances of
promotion at work. It is extremely unfair and it is the root of commotions in Japanese
community. Back up to the issue of occupational segregation, perhaps from now on, no
politicians in any countries make the same mistake as Japanese ones in the past. It is
crystal clear that politicians value peaceful labour above riots.
Secondly, no one has inborn meritsthat stand them in good stead. Professions in the fields
of mathematics, computer science, the natural sciences and technology are for men and
not for women. This attitude is far from being valid. According toa newest study, if a man
finds himself working in a “female- oriented” job, he ends up earning 12.5 percent less
15. than his male counterparts, whereas a woman who works in a “male-dominated” field
earns 25.9 percent more than her female peers. So interestingly women in fact areearning
more than men because of their less committing faults and their capacity of dealing with
matters with accuracy and caution. Thus, what is the best solution for the thorny problem
of making a more equal workforce? There is no way around but the labor pool must be
balanced out by drawing from a supply of trained men or women to cover the skill gaps.
But it is tough to achieve in reality if gender discrimination is alive. Therefore, it is time
to exclude job stereotyping by gender from our community if we want to see men in the
maternity ward and day care centers or women in trucking, construction and heavy
machinery operations.
It would be great to achieve an ideal employment balance on a national scale and we
believe in the right direction of our government for a workforce that never sleeps.
