Should schoolchildren have jobs?
Now at school, the last thing you probably want to do is spend your weekends going to work. There is homework to do and sport to play. 1. When I was a teenager I had a Saturday job in a supermarket: stacking(摆放)shelves and working at the checkout.
Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part-time jobs. 2.Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing your money. So, that’s no bad thing!
Some research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday job could be harmful to a person later on. But despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.
3.Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College leaders, told BBC News “Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives”. In reality, it’s all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.
4.One 13 year old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because I’m earning money and it helps increase my confidence in speaking to people and socializing with people I work with.” That seems like something worth getting up on a Saturday morning. 5.
A.Do you do a part-time job when you are at school?
B.So you are not free to do what you are feeling like doing.
C.It is a waste of time and does no good to your career prospect.
D.It’s a taste of independence.
E.Does this mean that British teenagers are now more afraid of hard work?
F.But your parents probably persuade you to find a job and get some life experience.
G.Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom.
