Band 7

Some people say that teenagers should work part-time and earn money. This way they will learn basic lessons about work and become more disciplined. Others argue that teenagers shouldn't sacrifice their rest and after-school activities to work. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Almost all high schoolers may consider whether or not it's worth getting a part-time job around their studies. While some claim that there are definitely risks associated with it and teenagers should not neglect their studies, I argue that an after-
school
 activity would be beneficial for young people. On the one hand, teenagers shouldn't sacrifice their rest and after-
school
 activities to
work
.
First
, working when being a high
school
 student
also
 entails less involvement in
school
.
For example
, students, due to their
work
 hours, will be less likely to participate in activities
such
 as clubs and sports, which contributes to shaping their physical and mental health.
Second
, a serious conflict with having a job as a high schooler is that jobs divert attention away from academics. Some part-time jobs will require students to
work
 later and longer hours, which means that they will be unable to study for tests or to finish their class assignments.
On the other hand
, practical advantages accrue to students who
work
 during their high
school
 years.
First
, it fosters an appreciation of money and a growing sense of self-sufficiency. Nothing teaches a teenager greater respect for money and the real worth of property than having to spend their own money to get what they want.
Furthermore
, a job could instil confidence in young people. If they
work
 with a variety of customers, they may learn how to deal with difficult situations and hone their communication skills. In conclusion, from a long term point of view, having
work
 experience while still in high
school
 is advantageous when youngsters could achieve a healthy balance between
work
, study and play.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

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. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
