Ex.18. Look at these job advertisements. Change them so that a man or a woman should feel equally free to apply.

Note: In both England and the United Sates there are equal opportunities laws, which mean that job advertisements cannot state the sex of the person required. Jobs ask for 'flight attendants', 'salespersons', or 'person required to help with young children'. Meetings often have a 'chairperson', who asks for a 'spokesperson' to give their opinions.

People often prefer to use 'their' to mean 'his or her...', even when they are only referring to one person.
