Which of them are
supposed to be men’s and women’s work?
In
many ways, David Cunningham is a stereotypical Scottish man. In his free time,
he plays golf, goes to football matches, and meets his friends in the local
pub, all the things you’d expect a young, active man to do. And like many men,
he isn’t very good at housework. He’s untidy, hardly ever hoovers and he’s
never cooked a meal in his life. However, one thing about him does not fit this
stereotype: his job. David Cunningham is a midwife.
Although
some women are surprised when they find out tha their midwife is a man, David
has a good reputation in the part of Scotland where he works. In his opinion,
it’s because of the way he carries out his duties. ‘I really care about the
women that I look after’ he says. He gets on well with the husbands too.
‘Having another man there calms them,’he explains. And many of them feel more
comfortable asking a man questions.’
‘I’ve
been qualified for fourteen years and I’ve delivered hundreds of babies,’ says
David, who used to be a coal miner. ‘There are only five or six male midwives
ih Scodand. When I started, I expected more men to join the profession, but the
number hasn’t really changed. People still see it as a job which only women
do.’
Base
34 is a new garage in Montpellier, in the south of France. Customers who take
their cars there for repairs may be surprised to find that all the employees
are women.
When
Herve Malige advertised for women who wanted to become mechanics, he received
120 aplications. After tests and interviews, he chose fifteen. They included a
nurse, a secretary, a beauty therapist and two flight attendants. They all
wanted a chance to work in this traditionally male envitonment.
I
think a lot of people instinctively trust women more. And female customers
might feel more comfortable with somebody who doesn’t treat them as if they
don’t understand anything!’
Altrough
most car mechanics are still men, the situation is gradually changing. Men are
starting to leave the profession, and women are joining it. Why? In a word,
technology. In the past, being a mechanic was a physically tough and dirty job.
Now, cars are much more complicated than they used to be. You need patience and
intelligence to work out the problem is, not strength. Many people believe that
this makes the job more suitable for women than for men.
Are the sentences true or
false? Correct the false sentences.
1 David Cunningham does
not have the same hobbies as most other men in Scotland.
2 Most women that David
has worked with think that he is good at his job.
3 David gets on well with
the women but not with their husbands.
4 David is not very
experienced in his work.
5 There are not many male
midwives in Scotland, but the number is increasing.
5 What is surprising
about Base 34 is that no men work there.
7 Fifteen women applied
to work at the garage.
8 The women had different
jobs before working at the garage, but wanted a change.
9 The job of mechanic is
changing because cars are getting simpler.
10 Many people think that
there will be more female car mechanics in the future.

Reading
Teacher: Now you will work in groups. Read the
different texts how four young men decided on their career and then answer “Why
the young men choose the profession?”
1st group
«Why did the young man choose the
profession?»
John Andrews had to wear glasses ever since he was a
small boy. So, shortly before the time when he was to leave school, his parents
suggested that he might train to be an optician, John didn’t have any strong
feelings about what he warned to do, so he agreed and started a course of
training with the intention of becoming an optician. He found the work
interesting, and did not have any trouble in qualifying at the end of the
course.
After graduating he applied for a number of jobs and
managed get one in the town where he lived.
2nd group
«Why did the young man choose the
profession?»
All his life Edward had lived with his parents in a
big city, but he had always loved the country, and he was particularly
interested in science, so when he finished school he decided to go to an
agricultural college and learn how to be a farmer.
3rd group
«Why did the young man choose the profession?’
To study to become a nurse in England, one has to pass t certain examinations. Then, after quite a long course of
practical and theoretical study, one has to pass more examinations. Timothy
Lloyed, whose parents were both doctors, had always wanted to work in medicine.
Later at school, Timothy was particularly interested in science, especially
biology. Since he was more interested in practical things, he wanted to become
a nurse. He was gentle he believed that people should help one another, and he
was not afraid of blood, so he was a boy whose teachers all agreed would make
an excellent nurse.
4. The favourite subject at school for Ted Hughes
[hju.z] was Geography, because he had always wanted to travel. He studied
various parts of the world so that he could feel as if he knew them a little.
Ted liked children and was always ready to have a joke with them.
So after finishing school he decided to be a teacher.
He finished teachers training college and became a teacher of Geography in a
primary school.
G1: John Andrews decided to become an optician because
he had to wear glasses all his life.
G2: Edward decided to become a farmer because he had
always loved the country and he was interested in science.
G3: Timothy Lloyed decided to become a nurse because
he was interested in science, biology. He believed that

Brian James left University and decided

in the application forms and, a few weeks later, was asked to attend an interview. He was offered
the job that same day.
As he lived in a small town outside the

problems. Two people were dismissed
for stealing and two of their friends resigned
in sympathy, the directors decided to lay
off five more because the company couldn’t afford to keep them, and
the managing director decided to retire
early. The atmosphere was so bad that Brian eventually decided to hand in his notice.
