(Luckily, it isn\u2019t a \u201cmust\u2019 for Hong Kong\u2019s women!) \u201cCooking\u201d is a symbol of good women (or wives). \u00a0It is rare to see women who can\u2019t cook.\u00a0 Since cooking is a basic survival skill and is very important for women, every woman must know it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Besides cooking, the make up skill is also an essential skill for women.\u00a0 Simple and proper make up makes women look decent and elegant.\u00a0 It is nice for women to have simple make up on important occasions, such as an interview.\u00a0 It is a simple way to show your respect to the employers. \u00a0Moreover, in Japan and Korea, every woman should make up because it is their tradition and custom. \u00a0\u201cMake up\u201d is a symbol of respect and politeness.\u00a0 It is one of the essentials for women.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Apart from making up, every woman should know how to say \u2018NO\u2019. \u00a0Saying \u2018NO\u2019 doesn\u2019t show that you are timid; it shows that you are strong and can think independently. \u00a0In some cases (sex crimes), it is extremely important to say \u2018NO\u2019 to the offenders in order to protect yourselves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">It is nice for women to know how to do housework. \u00a0No men like messy and untidy women. Doing housework is women\u2019s responsibility. \u00a0Keeping your home clean and tidy can show that you are tidy and responsible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Also, good speaking skills are essential for women.\u00a0 Good speaking skills do not mean that you need to speak thousands of words a day or be so extremely talkative that you even can\u2019t stop talking.\u00a0 A good speaker can talk and chat politely (at least there is no foul language) and softly (don\u2019t speak so loudly or yell). \u00a0Men do not like noisy women but polite ladies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Last but not least, doing simple sums is necessary for women too.\u00a0 You may not need to know how to find X from an equation or find the volume of something.\u00a0 You only need to know how to do simple calculations. \u00a0It is very useful for a quick check of whether you have paid enough or not when shopping. \u00a0This skill also protects you from being cheated by shopkeepers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">To conclude, it is not easy to be womanly. \u00a0But, if you are willing to learn the above skills, it will be easy for you and you can even become a lovely princess! \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Like men, women also have to live up to lots of expectations.\u00a0 Women are supposed to be gentle and polite, just like Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge.\u00a0 However, Hong Kong is not under the rule of a king!\u00a0 There are no more chances for you to be a princess like Catherine!\u00a0 Although you can\u2019t be a .........<\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmelss.edu.hk\/buddingwriters\/archives\/1730\" class=\"read-more\">Read More<\/a>","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":8474,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","language-en","classlevel-others","schoolyear-35"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carmelss.edu.hk\/buddingwriters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carmelss.edu.hk\/buddingwriters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carmelss.edu.hk\/buddingwriters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carmelss.edu.hk\/buddingwriters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carmelss.edu.hk\/buddingwriters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1730"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.carmelss.edu.hk\/buddingwriters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1730\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3446,"href":"https:\/\/www.carmelss.edu.hk\/buddingwriters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1730\/revisions\/3446"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carmelss.edu.hk\/buddingwriters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8474"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carmelss.edu.hk\/buddingwriters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carmelss.edu.hk\/buddingwriters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carmelss.edu.hk\/buddingwriters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
