IELTS Essay: equal members of male and female students Task: Universities should accept equal members of male and female students in every subject. To what extent do you agree of disagree? Essay: Some educational authorities believe that high schools have to have as many males for every subject as females. Although history is full of examples of both successful women and men in science, engineering, medicine, etc., I personally believe that it is a bad idea for universities to have equal number of both genders. First of all, in general it is a bad idea to obey people to study something. In case when universities have to have an equal number of women and men for each course, it may lead to leak of places in some classes and student will have to choose something different. Likely for me, I have never seen this kind of policy, but I feel that if it had been accepted, it would caused quite a serious problem. Moreover, male and female have a different way of thinking. Thus, considering the fact that some tasks or even professions need more diligence, women would approach those better then men. For example, software testing needs imagination and user-like behavior more then knowledge of programming languages. Thus, in general women fit this position better then men. In turn, form my perspective, engineering is better for male part of audience. Therefore, I reckon that it is better for universities to pay more attention to personal inclinations of student rather then number of male of female student in group. To summarize, I want to repeat my self and say that I do not agree with the statement that universities should have an equalize the gender proportion of student. This is a nonsense!

Hi, Ivan :) I think it's better if you take some examples in fact to make it more pursuasive. ( you may give some information about some universities or high school to prove ...etc) Morever, the essay is to show who you are through it,you're the main reason behind it that the examiners want to know. So, try to express your deep/creative thoughts through this essay. And in the conclusion of an IELTS,don't use "to summarize,or in conclusion,or in summary,...etc Back to your above one, the statement "this is nonsense" probably make you lose your score... You can take another view to make it different( because it depends on the ability and talent of students,not their gender! ) Anyway, it's my own opinion, :D
