→ The roles of men and women in society will be equal; women can do jobs that are once considered as only for men.
3. How will the increasing involvement of women in public life affect society?
Ex2: a. Read the passage and match the underlined words/phrases in the passage with their definitions.
  Developing countries have witnessed enormous changes in their societies, and the most fascinating one, no doubt, is the ever increasing involvement of women in education and employment. More and more women in these countries are entering university, getting higher education degrees, and going out to work. They are no longer content with staying at home, in the sole role of a housewife. This dramatic change will greatly affect the socio-economic picture of these countries.
  With more women going out to work, the financial burden of the male ‘breadwinners’ in the family will be reduced. However, along with this, they will no longer be the dominant figures, the sole decision-makers, and will learn to share the housework. This change will certainly be advantageous for children. They will get more affection and care from their fathers. They will also learn to be more independent since both parents will work.
  The service sector will therefore be the first to be challenged. There will be greater demand for child-care provision, convenience foods, housework services, and after-school activities and tutoring services. With higher education and more money to spend, people will be expecting better quality services and higher living standards. This, consequently, will help develop the countries’ economy.

3. Writing:  
Ex4. (p67) Work in groups. How do you think the roles of teenagers will change in the future? Brainstorm and make a list of possible changes.
* Teenager`s roles in the future:
(Vai trò của thanh thiếu niên trong tương lai)
1. be more responsive to society. (có trách nhiệm hơn với xã hội)
2. take care of themselves. (biết tự chăm sóc bản thân họ)
3. learn and prepare themselves for the future when they will be the ones in charge. (học tập và trau dồi bản thân cho tương lai để trở thành trụ cột đất nước)
Ex5.Choose one of your group`s ideas, and write a short paragraph about it.
(Chọn một trong những ý kiến của nhóm bạn, viết một đoạn văn ngắn về nó.)
In your writing, you should include:
- what the change is (sự thay đổi là gì)
- why you think the change will happen
(bạn nghĩ tại sao sự thay đổi sẽ xảy ra)
- what this change will mean for society
(sự thay đổi này có ý nghĩa gì đến xã hội)
Ex:
It is likely that teenagers in the future will be more in charge of their studies. There are at least two reasons for this. Firstly, there is the rise of the Internet, which provides teenagers with various reliable sources of information. It also allows teenagers to develop a large social network with their peers. They can therefore self-search, exchange, and discuss information in order to plan their studies. Secondly, the fact that they start school early and spend a lot of time by themselves when their parents go out to work makes them more independent. Decision-making will become a larger part of their lives. Teens will make decisions concerning their own lives, instead of being told what to do and how to do it. In short, these are the two reasons why teenagers will become more responsible for their studies.
