    Well done! Here are some corrections, hope it helps :)

    In my opinion, females still aren't treated as equals to men and they are exposed to different types of discrimination. Our country is trying to solve some of these problems.

    First of all, some country still have lists of forbidden professions for women. In 2017, the Ukrainian government refused this list. But this doesn't mean that employers are willing to hire women. It comes from the stereotypes which still exist in people's heads. For example, some people claim that women are less patient or not as strong as men. But they don't consider the fact that we are all individuals with different characteristics.

    Other major problems are double standards and objectification. Objectification is based on stereotypes and opinions about how the ideal woman looks like and what she likes. We see it in everyday life on banners and TV, especially on fashion shows where women are thin and hairless. In advertisements, we see women shaving already smooth legs, such standards don't apply to men. The average man has hair all over his body and they are not shamed for that nor accused because of false ideas of body hygiene. This isn't the case with women, because of objectification. This is a pressing problem in all countries, not just Ukraine.

    In addition to this, there is another type of objectification: sexual objectification.An example of it is the attribution of responsibility of the sexual assault to the female victim. Supporters of this point of view say that the victim is guilty because she was wearing a short dress or was intoxicated by alcohol. Another example of this is slut shaming. It's based on the belief that a woman who has had different sexual partners or had early sexual experiences is shameful. All this is controlling a woman's freedom of choice. By the way, domestic abuse is legal in some countries. 

    To sum up, we all need to fight stereotypes and not be afraid to acknowledge our ignorance, and give freedom of choice to all people, irrespective of their gender.

    Good job! Here are some small corrections :)

    Random Thoughts on Travelling

    In the beginning of February 2019 I'm going to go to Thailand for a couple of weeks just to shake the winter off. I've never been to this beautiful country and I'm looking forward to a lot of excitement.

    The place I like the most in the Western Europe is Salzburg. I especially like the architecture and the spirit of this city, which I would sum up in these three words: beer, castle, magic.

    Yesterday at the shopping mall I ran into a schoolmate I ran into a schoolmate at the shopping mall who I hadn't seen for more than 10 years. He had moved to Moscow 5 years ago, and just so happened that on that day he was to be in Minsk on a one-day trip on that day and was leaving for home in 1 hour.

    To my shame, I must confess that I've never been to Moscow. I have relatives in Moscow, I've done job worked for (if they were your bosses) or worked with (if they were your colleagues) people from Moscow, but I've never been there. The closest I've ever been to Moscow is Sheremetyevo airport, where I once was waiting waited for a connected flight.

    Hope it helps!

    Nicely done! Here are a few corrections:

    New job resolutions

    Tomorrow is my first day to work working at a pharmaceutical company in Korea.
    I got hired as a Medical Representative and I have some resolutions for my new job.
    First Firstly, I want to work hard. I am a beginner in the business area, so this is my first job after graduating from my university. To work my way up in my career, I should work hard no matter how hard it is.
    Second Secondly, I hope I don't quit my work so fast. There is a trend that new recruits in Korea quit their first job faster than their supervisors expected expect.
    These are the most important things for my first job resolutions. I hope I will do my best !

    Hope this helps and good luck with your new job! :)
