Women have less leisure time than 15 years ago - as men take more for themselves 

It may not come as a shock to women that when it comes to housework, figures show they are more than pulling their weight. But it may surprise them to find that far from taking on more of the burden, men are spending more time having fun than they were 15 years ago - and shouldering less of the unpaid work. Figures from the Office for National Statistics suggest that the amount of time men spend on leisure activities rose from 42.88 hours in 2000 to 43 hours a week in 2015. Over the same period, the number of leisure hours taken by women dropped - from 39.24 in 2000 to 38.35 in 2015.

The ONS said the data "suggests that there is a growth in inequality between men and women when it comes to taking leisure time”. Men are now taking quite a lot more time each week for leisure and women are taking less compared with 2000. It added: "Leisure time for women could be less than for men because although women are more frequently engaged in part-time work than men, they spend more time completing unpaid work such as household chores and childcare. The hours spent on unpaid work are likely to replace those hours that could have been spent on leisure activities."

An increased care burden could be behind some of the disparity. People in their forties and fifties have become known as the "sandwich generation" who must care for elderly parents while supporting children who are not yet financially independent and may still be living at home.

In traditional Korean society, women's roles were confined to the home. From a young age, women were taught the virtues of subordination and endurance to prepare for their future roles as wife and mother. Women, in general, could not participate in society as men did, and their role was limited to household matters.

The situation began to change with the opening of the country to the outside world during the late 19th century. During this period modern schools were introduced, mostly by Western Christian missionaries. Some of these schools were founded with the specific goal of educating women. These educated women began to engage in the arts, teaching, religious work, and enlightening other women. Women also took part in the independence movement against the Japanese occupation, and displayed no less vigor, determination, and courage than the men.

With the establishment of the Republic of Korea in 1948, women achieved constitutional rights for equal opportunities to pursue education, work, and public life. There is no doubt that the female labor force contributed significantly to the rapid economic growth that Korea achieved during the past three decades. An increasing number of women work in professional fields.

For centuries, poets, writers and musicians have mentioned the ao dai in poems, novels and songs. The ao dai is the traditional dress of Vietnamese women. It consists of a long silk tunic that is slit on the sides and worn over loose pants. Traditionally, it was frequently worn bv both men and women. The desian and material used for men were different from those used for women. Nowadays, women usually wear it, especially on special occasions. However, many Vietnamese women today often prefer to wear modern clothing at work, because it is more convenient.

Now fashion designers want to change the traditional ao dai. Some have printed lines of poetry on the ao dai, so they look modern and very fashionable. Other designers have taken inspiration from Vietnam’s ethnic minorities.

They have visited villages and studied traditional designs and symbols such as suns, stars, crosses, and stripes. They have added these patterns to the ao dai, so Vietnamese women can continue to wear the unique dress, which is now both traditional and fashionable

In most lines of the following text, there is either a spelling or an punctuation error, for each numbered line 1- 15, write the correctly spelt word or show the correct punctuation in the space on the right. Some lines are correct. Indicate these lines with a tick (P). The first three lines are done for you as examples.

How Equal Are Woman, Really?

On the face of it, women in Britain haven’t done too badly over the passed thirty years. There has been a woman Prime Minister a woman has gone into

space, and women are ordained as priests. They have won the right to equal

pay with men for the same work inspite of the fact that they still earn only

80% of their male colleague’s salaries. They have even become professionals

in what have always been considered male sports, like football. But can it

really be said that equality of the sexes is fact rather than wishful thinking. The trouble begins at school, though equality shouldn’t be an issue in education since, acording to the Department of Education’s statistics, they do better than boys in exams at all levels. Nevertheless, they are at an immediate

disadvantage as soon as they apply for jobs and go out to work. Teachers believe its vital to overcome this by encouraging them to study subjects like

physics, which have been almost exclusively a male preserve. A peice of

research recently carried out at Reading University may explain why boys

succeed, weather or not they have better academic qualifications. It shows that they are willing to call out answers in class and risk making mistakes, whereas girls feel self conscious. This capacity to take the lead is why boys tend to make a better impresion at an interview for a business career, though they may not always prove to be the best choice thereafter.
