Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmers (for example working for a charity, improving the neighbourhood or teaching sports to younger children).

It is undeniable that involving various activities throughout high school time is a valuable experience for teenagers. In my opinion,
although
 teenagers gain some considerable benefits from working unpaid during education, there are some possible drawbacks to
this
 mandatory program. Students who participate in a period of voluntary
work
 during their education time can benefit extremely in many tasks.
First
 of all, it helps them to experience different activities which improve their knowledge and
skills
moreover
 academic qualifications. It is undoubtedly vital for high school students to gain some professional
skills
 before graduating which could significantly motivate them to opt for a wide range of occupations.
Secondly
, communicating with different
people
 especially aiding the elderly and doing some valuable community
work
 outside the home, helps the young
people
 get to know more about society. It certainly improves their social
skills
 which makes them responsible citizens.
On the other hand

work
.
Firstly
, the program must be well planned in order not to conflict with their expected study routine. Lack of time and concentration on doing their homework and school program might affect their educational achievement.
Secondly
, some voluntary
work
 may put the youngsters at potential risks. They may be in great peril while being alone in an unidentified place with an unknown individual. So, advanced management by authorities and
also
 parents’ supervision on every social
work
 is essential to ensure the security of volunteers exclusively. In conclusion, despite some drawbacks, I believe that involving
such
 community unpaid works could help the young
people
 to gain precious
skills
 and experiments which would be beneficial both for them and the society.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence.
