作文非本人所写，但是很好奇这篇文章可以评得了多少人，先卖个关子，看了大家的想法以后再说说自己的想法。<span></span> <br />

<strong>University should accept equal number of male and female students in every subject.<br />
To what extend do you agree or disagree?</strong><br />
<br />
Although the idea of gender equality in society is a laudable concept, I believe a more modest adjustment of severely gender-imbalanced courses would be more practical than a draconian imposition of a 50/50 balance in all university courses.<br />
<br />
Some people feel that females are underrepresented and do not have equal opportunities in certain professions such as senior management and engineering while others believe society would be better served if more males worked in some professions such as nursing, translating and primary school teaching. Both groups feel that not only competition for university places but also social stereotyping plays a role here; that is, if a more gender-balanced workforce were visible, then more young people would feel that it would be socially acceptable for them to follow suit and enter professions that are traditionally associated with the apposite sex.<br />
<br />
I agree with these arguments but the correction of gender inequality and imbalance in the workplace cannot take place in the universities only-changes should be also be made in society as a whole, including education at the pre-university level. Furthermore, the sudden imposition of a rigid 50/50 gender balance in university classes, where there is usually , say, an 80/20 male/female ratio, would probably result in many highly qualified and highly motivated males losing out to some females who were not very academically qualified for those courses and possibly not very interested in pursuing those professions.
文章要从第一段开始看，直接在谈大学，第二段也只是引申到工作，通篇来看主旨还是扣住主题的。
只是作者水平太高，看似写得闲云野鹤，其实是信手拈来，立意深刻。远远不是我们这些中国教育体系出来的人所能轻易达到的。感觉很像A POINT OF VIEW 里面那些英国作家的味道。
也就是说，这是一篇大多数中国考生都永远无法达到的精品范文。
LS的建议只是将其拉低到中国考生的惯用模式。
我发现的语法错误，只是 “changes should be also be made in society as a whole,” 这里不应该放两个be吧。低级错误，应该是笔误。
本来还有最后一段，只是字数限制，发不上去了。现在补上
On the other hand, if the last 10% of class allotments in heavily imbalanced classes were reserved for the ’minority’ sex, and if academic standards were not drastically compromised in the process, then I believe society would benefit.

补全最后一段以后task response就没有问题了。
to what extent这个问题的答案，最重要的是线划在哪里，少了这一段，光是反对50/50，那便是没有给出明确观点。
其实文章基本还是比较常用的提出命题-打倒命题（因作者立场是disagree)-适度妥协的结构。唯一比较不走寻常路的就是第二段的铺垫写的很长，就这个文章来讲的确让话题深度增色不少，但个人觉得对非母语者而言实际考试时还是不要冒险，毕竟驾驭不好或者思路不够清晰的话还是有跑火车的风险的。
