Write a paragraph (120 - 150 words) about the surgeon's job. Use
these guiding questions to help you.

Sample answer:
The surgeon's job is traditionally most common for men. Surgeons have to
perform operations on patients. They also have to make important decisions about
patients' health and safety. Besides medical knowledge, surgeons need both
physical and mental strength to perform long and tiring operations. In addition,
surgeons need to have excellent eyesight and skilful hands. A surgeon works with
a team, so he / she needs good teamwork and communication skills. Although it is
traditionally seen as a male job, the number of women surgeons is increasing now.
Women are as mentally strong as men, and they can perform long operations. In
summary, women can make great surgeons, and everybody will benefit from
having both male and female surgeons.
