　　Part I  Writing 写作范文

　　As is depicted in the picture, an employer is refusing a female job applicant on the spot, because he prefers to hiring male employees. He said some sympathetic words to the disappointed young lady. However, the girl seems to be badly hurt by his denial, holding her resume and crying a lot.

　　As far as I’m concerned, when choosing a prospective employee, an employer is not supposed to focus on the gender of job applicants. Firstly, it’s much wiser for an employer to lay emphasis on qualifications and abilities of job applicants, not their gender. Secondly, with innate qualities like being careful, considerate and sympathetic, female employees can do most jobs well, or as well as men do. Thirdly, female employees will play a bigger role than male counterparts do in building a harmonious working environment, because they are naturally born experts at dealing interpersonal relationships.

　　In consequence, employees shouldn’t be chosen based on gender. It’s his or her abilities and potentials that a boss should look for in a job applicant. Another thing an employer is expected to do is to create opportunities for employees and bring their abilities into full play.
