t: ok, time is up. let’s check the answers. who will answer the first question?
s: i will. helen believes that it is better to do without the things you want. but jane believes that both rich and powerful people and poor people deserve equal human rights.
t: very good. that’s the answer. next one.
s: jane is still unhappy because she realizes that women do not have the freedom to choose what they want to do — she has become a teacher because she has no other choice.
t: yes, actually at that time, women couldn’t enjoy the equal rights as men. now the third question.
