         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Work in groups of 4 and read the 3 following paragraphs. Identify the problems that these paragraphs have regarding counterargument. Match the problems with the paragraphs.&nbsp;</strong></div><div><strong>Question:&nbsp;</strong></div><div>Some people believe that women should not get married by the age of 30 so that you can focus more on their careers. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement.Write 1 counter-argument paragraph</div><div><strong>Paragraph 1:</strong></div><div>On the one hand, some people are of the belief that concentrating on a career is more vital than having a marriage before the age of thirty since a successful profession means that the marriage can be sustainable in the financial aspects. Yet, this thinking is invalid since they ignore the vital role of a female's health when she is thirty and above. The girls of these ages will have lower reproductive health than those under thirty years old. Hence, it is detrimental for females at these ages to give birth and they may have to cope with unexpected consequences. This can be observed in the fact that the proportion of miscarriage in women above thirty years old is much more substantial than the female who is under this age. As a result, it is paradoxical to assume that females under thirty years old should focus on their careers and ignore marriage.</div><div><strong>Paragraph 2:&nbsp;</strong></div><div>It is easy to see why many subscribe to the idea that women should get married before the age of thirty instead of focusing on building up their career. However, this thinking is old-fashioned and narrow-minded as great thought marriage be, making a family early could bring many disadvantages for the woman. For example, to start a family, couples would need to expense a lot of financial resources and effort, making them stressed at a young age. Furthermore, getting married at a young age would also chained them down as they would have many responsibilities such as taking care of a child, doing housework.... They wouldn't be able to enjoy life when they are at a young age or take risks in their choices to make memories or accumulate experiences anymore. In addition, taking time before reaching marriage would also allow couples to have more time to get to know each other and understand one another which would be synonymous to a happier marriage.&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Paragraph 3:&nbsp;</strong></div><div>It is understandable why some people contend that women should marry before the age of 30. The key rationale is that women can spend more time with their partners after they tie the knot, which help them to strengthen their relationships. Furthermore, being a mom early can teach women numerous skills such as time management. However, this thinking is flawed since women have to allocate more time to work and family responsibilities if they get married early and don't have a stable financial situation, which exacerbates their relationship with their spouses. Thus, researches show that higher divorce rate is associated with younger groups.&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Problems:</strong></div><ol><li>Opposition does not include an explanation.</li><li>Counterargument is not related to the opposition.</li><li>Opposition includes points that are not fully countered in the counterargument.&nbsp;</li></ol>]]></description>
