summary of " Changing Roles: Stay-at-home Dads"

The story is about a Father, Neil Walkingshaw who is lives in England. He was a British mechanic. He had a big problem that no one can takes care of his newborn child. Finally he reluctantly asked his boss if he could switch to pat-time hours in order to take care his child by himself. But unfortunately his boss refused. He sued on the rule and awarded 3600. It demonstrated that the view o parental roles is different from the conventional wisdom in about 30years ago. Now the male partner takes more responsibility than before. Some studies have found that fathers play an important role in child development. The presences of fathers lower the rate of juvenile and teenage pregnancy. Although the society will value the role of father more, both mother and father are important roles to their children.

Hi Eva:
I am Peggy, I saw your summary of "Changing Roles: Stay-at-Home Dads." What a great summary! Your ability of compose is very good.

But you still have some mistakes. For instances, at sentence one, “who is lives” should be corrected “who lives”, at sentence three, “one can takes care of” after the word “can” should not add “s”, at sentence four, the word “pat-time” lose a letter of “r“it should be “part-time”, and the last mistake is at the sentence four “take care his child” should be modified “take care of his child.”

Anyway, your summary is better than mine. And I hope you will do it much better in the future.
