Is It Stupid to Say So?
Nancy Rodgers is a law student. Last week her lecturer
advised her to
change to a more suitable course. He said that a career
in law was unsuitable
for women.
Nancy: I was shocked. At first I thought he was joking.
Of course, it was a
------- ---WORD格式--可编辑--
stupid thing to say. Women are as intelligent as men.
There are some excellent
women lawyers. If he doesn’t want to teach me, he
should change his job. I have a right to study law.
Andrew: Nancy, you’re wasting your time studying law.
‘When you are
married and have children you’ll be too busy to work.
Anyway, women can’t
decide anything properly because they’re too
emotional. You should study
cooking and sewing in order to become a good wife and
mother.
Paul: As I see it, an intelligent woman can succeed in
any career if she
has enough strength to overcome male prejudice. But
Nancy has to decide
first whether or not she wants to have children. It’s
impossible to have a
successful career and to be a good mother at the same
time. That’s why all the professions are dominated by men.
Betty: Well, I can’t understand why Nancy wants to
study law, or any other
course. For myself, I really enjoy being a wife and a
mother. I have two lovely
little boys and I have a good husband who works hard
to pay for everything we
need. I couldn’t do his work and he certainly couldn’t
do mine. We’re both
happy with our work. Women’s liberation should stop
interfering.
Chris: Until I find a job that pays me more money than
my wife’s getting
------- ---WORD格式--可编辑--
now, I will do all the housework. Some men might laugh
at me, but I’m quite
happy with this arrangement. And of course it leaves
me so much free time for
hobbies. They say that housework is a woman’s job.
That’s stupid. Men always
do their own housework when they’re single, don’t
they? If Nancy wants to
have a career in law, why should anybody try to stop
her?

Handguns
Chairman: Good evening. It’s Bob Smith. As we know,
the question of
handguns always raises a lot of discussion in our
country. Tonight we’ll have
------- ---WORD格式--可编辑--
opinions from all of you, as people from different
countries. Our guests tonight
are Roger from Canada, Reiko from Japan, Yu Fen from
China, and Antonio
from Italy. Roger, let’s start with you.
Roger: In my opinion, the laws on handguns should be
changed. Do you
know more than 40,000 people a year are killed with
handguns? It’s crazy.
Guns should be outlawed immediately. Chairman: Yu Fen, what’s your opinion?
Yu Fen: Well, I don’t really like guns, but we have
to ask who is doing the
killing. I think most of the killers are criminals. I
hate to say it, but I think people
should be allowed to own guns. Ordinary people have to
be able to protect
themselves and their families.
Chairman: People in Japan can’t have guns at home. What
do you think of all this, Reiko?
Reiko: I also hate to say it, but I agree with Yu Fen.
A violent person might
use anything as a weapon. Roger said around 40,000
people get killed with
guns each year. I think more than a million people have
a gun at home. All gun
owners are not crazy killers. In my opinion people
should be allowed to own
guns.
Chairman: That’s a very good point, Reiko. It’s like
traffic accidents. Many
people get killed in car accidents, but we don’t talk
about the millions and
