... the BIG DEBATE: Should teenagers work while they study?

In some countries it's normal for teenagers to have a part-time job while they are at school. Some work on Saturdays and during the school holidays, others have a part-time job for a couple of hours after school.

I think the best way for teenagers to understand the true value of money is to get a part-time job while they are at school. As well as earning extra pocket money, they will learn a lot of useful skills that they don't learn at school.

I don't think it's a good idea for teenagers to work. I think that teenagers need to concentrate on their studies as well as relax and have a good time. They should not get a job until they are adults.

Paper rounds

In the UK and the USA, paper boys and paper girls get up very early every morning and go to their local newsagent to collect their sack of newspapers. Each worker has a paper round – a list of houses and streets where they have to deliver a daily newspaper. When they finish their paper rounds they go to school like the rest of their friends. They get paid at the end of the week and usually earn between £15 and £25 a week.

Saturday jobs

A lot of teenagers have Saturday jobs working in big department stores, restaurants, hairdressers or supermarkets. These places usually have a lot more customers on Saturdays and that's why there are plenty of Saturday jobs available for young people. An average wage for a Saturday is about £22 for the whole day.

Babysitting

Babysitting is the perfect job for a teenager who wants to earn some extra money without really doing very much. As soon as the child you are babysitting for is in bed, you are free to do your homework, watch TV or read a book. Babysitters' pay varies, but you can earn up to £10 an hour.

Следует ли подросткам работать во время учебы?

Ответ: I think it's a good idea for teenagers to work while they study. It's important to learn the true value of money and gain useful skills that we don't always learn at school. For example, a Saturday job in a shop or a paper round can help us understand responsibility and customer service. Earning some extra pocket money also means we can buy things we want without always asking our parents. However, it's really important not to let work affect our studies. We need to find a balance so we can still do well at school and have time to relax and be with friends. Babysitting seems like a good option because you can even do homework while the child is sleeping!

Я думаю, что подросткам полезно работать во время учебы. Важно понимать истинную ценность денег и приобретать полезные навыки, которым мы не всегда учимся в школе. Например, субботняя работа в магазине или разноска газет может помочь нам понять ответственность и обслуживание клиентов. Заработок дополнительных карманных денег также означает, что мы можем покупать то, что хотим, не всегда прося у родителей. Однако очень важно не допускать, чтобы работа влияла на нашу учебу. Нам нужно найти баланс, чтобы мы могли хорошо учиться в школе и иметь время для отдыха и общения с друзьями. Няня кажется хорошим вариантом, потому что можно даже делать домашнюю работу, пока ребенок спит!
