Problem: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: It is unlawful for an employer to publish a discriminatory advertisement. How to identify a discriminatory advertisement: * It must be read as a whole, and account must be taken not only of the words, but also of the pictures that it uses. * Job titles that have sexual connotations mean an intention to discriminate on the grounds of sex. Example 1 A notice in a restaurant window states: "Waiters required". The word "waiters" has a male, not a female, connotation. The advertisement does not contain an equal opportunities statement and does not specify that the jobs are open to men and women. Example2 A medical clinic places an advertisement for a nurse with a photograph of a female nurse. Nursing is an occupation that is traditionally associated with women. The advertisement does not contain an equal opportunities statement. Good practice checklist: * Advertise widely so that as many suitably qualified people as possible have an opportunity to apply. * Do not publish job advertisements in locations or publications where they are likely to be read wholly or mainly by people who share a particular community background, sex, race, disability, or age. * Use language which is clear and simple and do not use abstract words. For example, when describing the working environment or the characteristics of desirable employees, do not use words like young, mature or energetic. * Where possible, do not use job titles which have a male or female connotation. For example, do not use the following words--- waiter/waitress salesman/ salesgirl postman manageress foreman storeman matron chairman/ chairwoman head master/ mistress Instead, where possible, use job titles that have gender-neutral connotation, For example, the following words are appropriate--- waiting staff sales assistant postal worker manager stores person supervisor chairperson nurse manager head teacher

Problem: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: Tigers are the largest wild cats in the world. They usually go out to hunt for food when it is dark. When a tiger sees an animal, it moves quickly and then jumps on the animals to kill it. Sometimes it can take the tiger several days to finish eating its food. When the tiger is full, it will cover the dead animal with leaves. Later, when the tiger is hungry again, it comes back to eat some more. Tigers are different from others in the cat family: they like water and often jump into rivers to swim. Some tigers live in very cold places in North Korea, Russia and China. Other tigers live in warmer places--in India and parts of Southeast Asia. But now all tigers are in danger. Some people kill tigers to use their skins for clothes, and their bodies for medicine. There is also less and less land for tigers to live in. ,.

Problem: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: As is known to us, Washington University in St. Louis became the first college in the United States to ban selling bottled water in 2009. Since then, more than a dozen small colleges and schools have done the same. The ban isn't because the schools don't want students to have easy access to water. Instead, the goal is to encourage students to bring reusable bottles to save money and, more importantly, to save the environment. Many people believe that producing and using bottled water not only wastes money but also harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. are among the best in the world. These people believe that water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access to filling stations are a better choice. But the makers of bottled water argue that plastic bottles make up a small part of the nation's total waste. They say it's unfair to single out their product when so many other items are packaged in plastic containers, and what's more, water is a healthy choice compared to some sodas and juices that are also sold at school. What do you think: Should sales of bottled water be banned from schools? We want to hear your opinion. Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you@timeforkids.com . Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade level and contact information for your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is August 31, 2012.
