Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes(for example working for a charity, improving the neighbourhood or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some schools value volunteer activities in the

community

where their students belong to.

However

,

although

while some people believe that the benevolent activities should not be mandatory for high

school

students, I believe that there are a lot of meaningful experiences that students can have from the

community

and it should be compulsory.

To begin

with, working in the

community

where young students live can teach them how to cohabit with people who are from different generations. In fact, high

school

students often have less time to communicate with people from different age groups. Activities,

such

as providing food for homeless people would broaden their understandings towards the vulnerable groups in the society.

Although

I acknowledge that opponents of compulsory charity activities claim that young generations are usually too overloaded academically to help the

community

, they can learn things that

school

teachers do not teach them in classes. Secondary, unpaid mandatory services in the

community

give beneficial experiences to young people that they cannot buy with money. Working for a charity,

for example

, can develop their communication skills and how to respect the neighbours. Even though some people say that youngsters can learn that skill by working as a part time job, but it is not an ideal situation to learn the volunteer spirit.

Finally

, my most strongest argue is that minors tend not to commit delinquents while they feel that they are one of the members of the

community

. The more young people are known in the

community

, the less likely they commit crimes, which deter children from anti-social activities,

such

as drug abuse, alcohol use or crimes. To sum up, not only volunteer works can broaden students' knowledge about their society, they can

also

help young people learn how to interact with people in the

community

.

Therefore

, I strongly believe that high

school

students need to be engaged in unpaid

community

service.
