　　Part B

　　Should Men Be Forced by Law to Do Half the Housework?

　　It is really ridiculous that the Australian parliament was to lay down a law to force human being to do the housework. I can't reason out anything to explain that a government should meddle in the family life. In my opinion, nobody can divide equally the housework into two parts and tell what a man or a woman should do in a family.

　　Husband and Wife, enjoying the same right in a family, give their deep seated love to each other. On the one hand, Wife has no obligation to shoulder the heavy burden of all the housework. Neither does Husband. On the other hand, if they deal with the housework as the businessman does in a market, the family will come to its end. When one is at home, the other is still working outside, why doesn't he or she prepare everything for him or her and give him or her a sense of having a family? Why not comfort him or her if he or she comes back exhaustedly? Why do you just force Husband to do half? Why not the whole if he is free? If he loves his wife, is it necessary to force him?Therefore, it is not reasonable for any institution to interfere in a private life. It is not necessary to force Husband to do half of housework.

　　[分析]

　　Part A

　　这种留言条在日常生活比较常见，与其他类型的便条并无本质上的差别。一方面作者说明，他已经按朋友的要求来车站接人了，但由于双方面的原因，不得不离开。先说明离开的原因，然后交待清楚取得联系的方法。因为二者是朋友关系，语言并不要求特别正式。

　　Part B

　　这是一个材料作文，考生可以使用材料中的语言，但不宜过多。可以使用其中的语言观点，但只是一个辅助的部分，不能占有重要的位置，可以用它们来支持说明自己的观点。第一段考生应该清楚明白地说明自己的观点：“... nobody can divide equally the housework into two parts and tell what a man or a woman should do in a family”。结尾做总结时点题，“It is not necessary to force Husband to do half of housework”。
