Compare and con trast the traditi onal Chin ese gen der-role patter nsand the moder n Chi nese gen der-role patter ns.Now I say something about compare the traditional Chinese gen der-role patter ns with the moder n Chi nese gen der-role patter ns.Traditi on ally, gen der roles in Chi na were affected by Con fucia ni sm, with men being the string leaders of the family, and women having less power.

Now wome n are equal to men, eve n in some families the status of the women is higher than the men. And now some women have high positions in business science and other fields. In some families also appeared such phe nomenon, the woma n go out to work to make money, and the man stay at home do the housework and take care of the members of the family.

They will make more friends and have more opport un ities.And the second reason, every country has its own custom and culture, the immigra nts should We have to recog nize and respect the custom and cultural differences, so as to prevent any possible misunderstanding.

Stateyour reas ons.I thi nk for a n atio nal park and an in teresti ng city, I would rather go to a n ati onal park.One of the most important reason is that I love the nature. And the goal of national parks is to preserve natural areas in their wild state of people like me to enjoy. Here you can feel the body and mind are particularly relaxed. Usually we are study ing or work ing in the city, and ofte n feel great pressure for us, so relax ing for us is n ecessary.And ano ther reas on is that in the n ati onal park will have a lot of rare pla nt and ani mal.

Mount Wuyi Is the earth the same latitude area to protect the best and the most abundant species ecological system, has 2527 kinds of pla nt species, n early 5000 kinds of wild an imals.So I thi nk the adva ntages outweigh the disadva ntages.6.

The more we cut these down, the endangered animals can survive.And we must let the public know that protecting the animals is necessary to achieve the continuity of social development and protect ourselves.。
