Teenagers earning money
In the United States, you can only get a full-time job if you are 16 years old or older. But there are things that teenagers can do to earn (赚得) some spending money. Here are a few ideas.
Parents with young children sometimes want to go out for dinner or to the movies, but they don't want to leave their children alone. 1. If the children go to bed early, you can do some of your homework!
Some adults have a dog, but they don't have time to take it for a walk. 2. So some teenagers work as dog walkers. It's a good idea — you earn money and you're outside in the fresh air. You get some exercise, too!
Teenagers can deliver (递送) newspapers. You usually ride a bike around a neighborhood and leave a newspaper at each house. 3.You have to get up early, too, because people want to read their newspaper with their breakfast.
4. Some companies pay teens to do online research. They want to know what teens are interested in. It's a fun and easy way to make money. You can also design web pages for friends or adults.
Sometimes adults pay teenagers to mow (修整) their lawns (草坪). It's a great job because you get fresh air and exercise. 5. Then you have regular customers (常客), because grass always grows!
A. Dogs need a lot of exercise!
B. It brings a lot of safety problems.
C. Normally you have to have your own bike.
D. Teenagers can work at home on their computers.
E. It's important to tell an adult where you're going.
F. Do your job carefully and people will want you to do it again.
