Do you think it is a good idea for teenagers to have a job while they are students? If you think it is good for you to have jobs while you are a student, after hearing my opinions I think you may change your mind.   There are three reasons to support my opinions. First, if we spend too much time doing jobs, you will have less time to study on our school works. If you have a lot of exams and homewoks tomorrow, but you also have to work today, then you will have no time to study. After a hard working, you have to stay up to finish them. According yo this two reasons having jobs while you are a student will break your living work and rest and your grades may become worse.

  Second, you may have some family relationship conflicts and problems with your members. Your parents may worry about when will you come home or are the places safe where you go. If you come home too late, your parents may blame on you because of their anxious and if our grades become worser, your parents may argue with you about quiting your jobs.

  Finally, although you can learn a lot of new skills from different jobs, but actually you are not good at those things that you had learned. For example, when you are working in a drinks shop, you just know how many ingredients you should put in, but you actually don’t understand how to make and use the elements in different ways and you don’t know where you can buy these things. You just know these new things, but you haven’t learned some useful things from your jobs.

    According to the three opinions, I think it is not a good idea for teenagers to have jobs while they are still students.

A lessom I learned

  Have you ever thought that to win a prize is the most important part in a contest? This happened to me before our English drama contest. Let me tell you how I used to think about contests and how it changed me.

  Before the English drama contest, I alwas thought that to win a prize is the most important part in a contest. In traditional Taiwan education, winning a prize and achieving honor is much more important than the process. In other words, I rarely thought about emphasized the process. I just did what I should do and fulfill my obligation. I didn’t even care about it.

  After we started preparing for our English drama, I understood the meaning in a contest. One day, we gathered all players to practice our drama. Miracle of the gathering, all of the players appeared. Our director guided us how to express our emotion and taught us how to speak more clearly. Although we didn’t win the champion, we had done our best.

  From then on, I learned one thing that winning isn’t the most important thing during a contest, instead of the process.
