Listen, read and check.

Scott: Hi Kim. I’m doing a survey for my Gender Studies course. Could you spare a moment?

Kim: No problem. What would you like to know? Scott: Firstly, to what degree would you say that gender

inequality is dealt with in the workplace? Kim: I’m not sure I get what you’re saying. Scott: What I mean is, do you think offices are fair for both

men and women? Kim: To some extent, I think we’ve made progress. Scott: Do you think more could be done? Kim: I would say so. Scott: Could you be a little clearer? Kim: Let me put it this way, the workplace is fairer, but there’s

still a 10% gender pay gap. Scott: Would you agree that there are few signs of it closing? Kim: What was that? I didn’t catch that. Scott: What I said was, would you agree that there hasn’t been

much change? Kim: Definitely. We have taken almost no steps towards

closing the difference in the last two years. Scott: All things considered, would you say that there’s still a

lot to do before we eliminate gender inequality completely?

Kim: Absolutely. It is clear that there is still an imbalance.
