Should teenagers work while they are students?
In some countries, teenagers have jobs while they are still students. After thinking about it from several aspects, I do not believe it is a good idea. The reasons are presented below. Part-time jobs may affect students' academic studies. Working several hours a day consumes a lot of time and one might be too exhausted to study. The main purpose of school life for teenagers is to learn scientific knowledge and techniques in preparation for their future.
В некоторых странах подростки работают, пока они все еще учатся. После обдумывания этого в нескольких аспектах, я не считаю это хорошей идеей. Причины приведены ниже. Частичная занятость может повлиять на академическую успеваемость учащихся. Работать несколько часов в день занимает много времени, и, возможно, они слишком устают, чтобы учиться. Основная цель школьной жизни подростков – получить научные знания и методы в подготовке к их будущему.
It is generally suggested that in order to master what they have learned at school, students must spend at least 3 hours each day on their homework. It would be impossible for a student to work parttime while maintaining a high standard of academic learning. As a result, they may find it hard to adjust to what the school and society expects from them as well as what their employers expect them to perform on the job.
Как правило, предлагается, что для овладения тем, которые они узнали в школе, учащиеся должны тратить по крайней мере 3 часа каждый день на свою домашнюю работу. Студенту было бы невозможно работать часть дня, сохраняя высокий уровень академического обучения. В результате им может быть трудно приспособиться к тому, что ожидает от них школа и общество, а также то, что их работодатели ожидают от них на работе.
Another reason why I do not approve teenagers to work part-time is that working while studying will deprive their time of sleep and will do harm to their health. Teenagers are in the process of building up their body. They need time to do exercises and engage in other activities, and they also need plenty of rest. If they work, they may sacrifice their time for sleep, club activities, exercise, and recreation. Sometimes, teenagers have jobs that consume more strength than they can afford. This will be definitely harmful to their health.
Еще одна причина, по которой я не одобряю для подростков работу на неполный рабочий день, заключается в том, что работа во время учебы лишает их времени на сон и наносит вред их здоровью. Подростки находятся в процессе роста. Им нужно время, чтобы делать упражнения и заниматься другими видами деятельности, и им также нужно много отдыхать. Если они работают, им приходится жертвовать своим временем на сон, клубными мероприятиями, упражнениями и отдыхом. Иногда подростки имеют работу, которая потребляет больше сил, чем они могут себе позволить. Тогда это определенно вредно для их здоровья.
Finally, working part-time and making extra money may contribute to their bad habits. Teenagers are not mature enough to spend money wisely. However with part-time jobs they make money that allow them to spend whatever way they like, such as playing electronic games, smoking, drinking, and even gambling. Based on the above discussion, I do not think it is a good idea for teenagers to work while they are still students. Compared with their whole lifetime, school life is a short period. Teenagers should value their school life and make full use of the time. Only by working hard during school life can they find their proper jobs in their future life.
В конце концов, работа на неполный рабочий день и дополнительные деньги могут способствовать их вредным привычкам. Подростки недостаточно зрелы, чтобы тратить деньги с умом. Однако с неполной занятостью они зарабатывают деньги, которые позволяют им тратить их на все, что им нравится, например, играть в электронные игры, курить, пить и даже играть в азартные игры. Основываясь на приведенном выше обсуждении, я не думаю, что работа – это хорошая идея для подростков, пока они все еще учатся. По сравнению со всей их жизнью, школьная жизнь - короткий период. Подростки должны ценить свою школьную жизнь и в полной мере использовать время. Только будучи трудолюбивыми во время школьной жизни они могут найти свои рабочие места в их будущей жизни.
Work during study has many disadvantages. Students have more money иге they do not know how to spend them wisely. The lack of the rest can have a bad effect on the students’ health, and the lack of time for school classes can significantly reduce academic performance. Therefore, combining work and study is a bad idea for students.
Topic: Difficult child
The “difficult child” comes in many varieties. One is the perfectly normal child who is simply strong-minded. This youngster is opinionated and needs to put in his two cents before he complies with a parental directive. Simple compliance is out of the question.
Then there’s the strong-willed child — the youngster who needs things done his own way, in his own time. This one won’t cooperate with parental directives because he didn’t initiate them.
The first step in parenting a difficult child is to realize that the child is not responsible for his nature. He can’t help that he was born with the particular temperament, personality, or condition that makes him behaviorally challenged. Moreover, parents need to keep in mind that the child suffers from his condition as much as they do, if not more. He will not necessarily outgrow whatever ails him and he may have to work very hard in life to manage symptoms and prevent them from disrupting his ability to function well in his relationships and work life. Of course he’d prefer to be easy-going, flexible, calm, and happy! He is not enjoying his stubbornness or negativity, but rather finds himself trapped in these states.
Once parents accept that their difficult youngster is essentially a struggling youngster, then they are ready to approach him compassionately, helping to ease his way. Instead of fighting against him, locking horns in a bitter battle for control, they can work with him, helping him to incorporate skills to increase flexibility and regulate emotions.
