Part III explores the differences in working styles between male and female bosses. Men are hierachical. goal-oriented and feel entitled while women manage skillfully and diplomatically. When women work for women, women usually feel more at ease with their female boss, but it takes long time for men to feel comfortable around their female boss. Part IV (Para.6-8)

It uses the example of a female vice-president, who burst into tears at a meeting because she felt angry, but men don‘t understand the difference stems from the whole social context of traditional roles for men and women.

1.4 paragraph writing (10M) Focus on an example essay

第31 页

By reading women's working styles in the feature report, students can see that a feature contains a lot of background information, anecdotes, interviews, and specific examples - a useful tool when writing a feature. The example essay is one of the most basic essays in academic writing, but it can be extremely difficult if students have never written one or do not know what to write about. An example essay has the same purpose: to use specific instances or actual cases to convince the readers that a particular point is true. In an examp!e essay, students support their point by illustrating it with examples. When used well, examples make writing more persuasive, thus increasing the chances readers will understand and believe the point. Like other writing modes, the point in an example essay is reflected in the thesis statement. For example:

1. My female boss' leadership ability is apparent in her relationships with her employees.

2. My male boss' personality is intolerable: stubborn, bad-tempered, and suspicious.

3. My new co-workers are uncooperative, incompetent, and inconsiderate. Once students have finished writing a thesis statement, they can start writing examples in the following paragraphs. Generally speaking, each body paragraph gives one specific and extended example to support one of the sub-points mentioned in the thesis statement. Of course, students may want to give numerous examples to illustrate their point, which is fine. However, it totally depends on what kind of topic they are dealing with. For instance,

suppose the thesis statement is \Would two or three extended examples be sufficient? Probably not. In short, thesis statements that state or imply \examples; otherwise, just use a few but more developed examples. 1.5 Translation (30)
