Some people think that all teenagers should be required to do unpaid work in their free time to help the local community. They believe this would benefit both the individual teenager and society as a whole. Do you agree or disagree?

It goes without saying that in recent years there has been a proliferation of voluntary organizations which are set out to prompt individuals’ contributions to the society. With regard to

this

trend, an array of people propose that schools should integrate voluntary work into the graduation requirements. From my viewpoint

unpaid services are definitely in students’ interest,

however

, students should be encouraged

instead

of being compelled. To commence with, it is indubitable that

volunteerism

helps students bolster their social skills and widen the scope of their knowledge, which will stand them in good stead when applying for a permanent job. Undertaking a period of unpaid work is a golden chance for students to collaborate with an assortment of people from all social backgrounds, together with whom they can share their experiences and understandings.

For example

, my aunt, who is a qualified nurse, attributes her success to the valuable experiences that she gained when working in the local hospital in the role of a candy striper. In her words, without those years of volunteering, her achievements would be far from what she

today.

Moreover

, be more grateful for what they have. As a matter of fact, children nowadays tend to have whatever they want at their fingertips, which renders their demands even more unreasonable. A

trip to the poverty-stricken areas, which give them a chance to meet destitute children, will make them realize that what they take for granted is what other people yearn for.

For instance

, one of my cousins, Linh, used to be an exigent child due to the indulging way of upbringing her parents use.

However

, once time she took part in a voluntary organization aiming at underprivileged children

After the time there, it dawned on her that she was blessed with nutritional meals and expensive clothes while many other children weren’t and since

Therefore

, rather than compel students to join voluntary organizations, schools should induce them by showing the significance of their commitment to the local community. And if possible, students should be spoilt for choice so that they can choose the activities that are congruous with their abilities and hobbies. In conclusion, voluntary work is indeed advantageous to both students themselves and the society.

However

, to obtain the optimal results, students’ willingness should be guaranteed.
