Teenagers and Part-time Jobs
In many countries it is common for teenagers to take part-time jobs while they are still in high school, while in other societies this is virtually2 unheard of. In the latter situation, students are expected to spend all of their time on their studies and consider schoolwork their job. In my opinion, students benefit3 more from a more balanced lifestyle, which may include working at a part-time job. Therefore, I believe that it is a good idea for students to work while studying.
While it is true that a students most important goal must be to learn and to do well at his studies, it does not need to be the only goal. In fact, a life which consists of only study is not balanced and may cause the student to miss out on other valuable learning4 experiences. In addition to bringing more balance to a students life, part-time work can broaden5 his range of experience. He will have the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and will be faced with a wider variety of problems to solve. Furthermore6, work helps a student to develop greater independence, and earning his own pocket money can teach him how to handle his finances7. Finally, a part-time job can help a student to develop a greater sense of responsibility8, both for his own work and for that of the team he works9 with.
For all of these reasons, I firmly believe that most students would benefit from taking a part-time job while they are in high school. Of course, they must be careful not to let it take up too much of their time because study is still their primary responsibility. In sum, living a balanced life is the best way to be successful.
青少年與打工
在很多國家,青少年常見會在高中時期打工。然而在有的國家,這幾乎是前所未聞的。若是后者的狀況,那是由于一般覺得學生應把所有些時間花在學業上,把學業當作是我們的工作。我覺得,生活方法越均衡,對學生就越好,而均衡的生活則須包括打工。所以我覺得,在就學期間打工是個很好的想法。
雖然學生非常重要的目的的確需要是學習,而且功課要好,但這不必是學生惟一的目的。事實上,只看重學業的生活并不均衡,這或許會使學生錯過其他珍貴的學習心得。打工除去使生活更均衡外,還可拓展學生的經驗。學生可以有機會見識各行各業的人,而且會面臨更多各種不一樣的問題需要解決。除此之外,工作幫助學生愈加獨立,而且自己賺零用錢還可以教會他怎么樣處置我們的財務。最后,打工可以幫助學生培養對我們的工作和團隊工作更大的責任感。
基于這類理由,我堅決相信,大部分學生在高中時期打工都能獲益。當然,他們也需要小心,不要讓打工占據太多時間,由于學業仍然是青少年最重要的責任。總之,過均衡的生活才是最好的成功之道。
