Band 6.5

In many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as completely wrong, while others consider it a valuable work experience, which is important for learning and taking responsibility. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Many people consider working early and getting paid important for a
child
 because they can accumulate valuable experience while others oppose it and believe that it is not right to let a
child
work
 at an early age. From my point of view, I am more convinced by the latter. On the one hand, many people argue that some kind of paid
work
 can be beneficial for
children
 for several reasons.
Firstly
, studying at school is usually theoretical, which means that it may not be helpful enough for schoolchildren to have a deep understanding

Secondly

alary can be a good way to teach
children
 about responsibilities. To be more specific, to earn money, they have to
work
 hard and meet the requirements of the workplace; making them realise that, if they do not complete or are irresponsible for given tasks, they may be punished and receive less money or nothing.
On the other hand
, it seems to me that fostering
children
 to
work
 at an early age is wrong. The main duty of a
child
 is to study because without education, they cannot ensure a bright future. If they start working early without paying attention to their academic performance, they are more likely to get bad results.
Moreover
,
children
 are still vulnerable and not mature enough to join the workforce where there are a number of rules, competitions and stress which can have a detrimental effect on both physical and mental development of a
child
. In conclusion, people have different points of view about whether
children
 should be encouraged to
work
 and get paid or not; and personally, I think that they should only focus on their studies because they are still immature and education is immensely important to a person.
