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。
University should accept equal number of male and female students in every subject.
To what extend do you agree or disagree?
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.
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.
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.
