1. It’s a hard life being a teenager in Britain. Nowadays most children work at least some of the time. Some work in the summer holidays. Others do part-time jobs before and after school. It is illegal for teenagers to work full-time while they are at school. Teenagers can only leave school and start working full-time at the age of 16.

2. I have to get up at 4.30 a.m. to collect the newspapers from the shop. My round includes 9 streets. I have to fold the papers and push them through the letter box of each house. When I have finished, I go straight to school. The pay is not very good, but it is an easy job. I do have to work on Sundays. My parents give me some pocket money in addition to the money I earn from my job. I get £10 a week to spend on whatever I want. My parents say it is very important to earn your own money. If I didn’t do this job, they wouldn’t give me pocket money at all.

3. I love working with children and I want to become a teacher after university. Working on a playscheme is fun and good work experience. I don’t need the money much as my parents give me a good allowance of £100 a month. I work for 6 weeks during the summer. About 80 children come to the Youth Centre every day. In the Centre there are 6 assistants like me and a play leader. We prepare activities like painting, drawing and crafts. We also organize games in the afternoons. This year it is my responsibility to take the children on a trip to the zoo.

4. My job is so boring. In our seaside town we have a pier with a huge amusement arcade on it. There is a big hall on it with hundreds of slot machines. People come to the arcade and I change their money for them. The best thing about the job is that I can sit down all day behind a glass screen. The worst thing is that my hands get very dirty from all the money I handle. I earn the minimum wage for my age. I am a university student, so I need to save money to pay my tuition fees.

5. This is the best job in the world. My parents have many friends with young children. They call me when they want to go to a restaurant or pub for the evening. When I arrive, the children are usually in bed. I sit in the living room and watch TV. The children almost never wake up, and anyway they are not usually babies, so I can tell them to go back to sleep. Some of the parents even leave food and drink for me in the fridge. If the parents stay out late, they give me extra money. When they come back, they sometimes give me a lift home in their car. The best thing about this job is that I don’t have to pay any taxes on my money — it is all cash-in-hand.

6. I love this job! It’s because you are busy all the time. You can talk with your colleagues and have fun while you work. You also get a discount on the food here. I have to say that I am not keen on burgers now I’ve been working here for six months. My job is a Saturday job. My parents won’t let me work any more hours because they say I need to study hard to pass my exams. I would like to work in the evenings too. I am saving up to buy a car when I am seventeen.

7. In 1861 (when Charles Dickens, the author of Oliver Twist, was alive), one third of all children aged 5 to 9 years (both girls and boys) in Britain had a job. And more than half of all 10–14-year-olds worked, in agriculture and industry. They often worked 14 hours a day! Now, in Britain, from age 14–15 you can work for a few hours after school or at weekends. At 16, you can quit school and work full-time. But that is in Great Britain. In many countries in Asia, Africa and South America, young children can’t go to school because they must work. And even in rich countries like America children are sometimes forced to work illegally, especially in agriculture.
