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

Some people think that doing
volunteer
work
 should be obligatory in the
school
 curriculum. While it is true that community service could help
students
 to develop some social skills, I do not agree that it should be a compulsory part of high
school
. On the one hand, doing unpaid community service might have a couple of benefits for teenagers.
First
 of all, high
school
students
 could improve their communication skills, teamwork skills when doing something for society
such
 as teaching younger kids, joining environmental protection clubs.
As a result
, they are able to have more opportunities to apply for scholarships or jobs in the future. The
second
 advantage is that pupils can make a contribution to society and become proud of their family and
school
.
Therefore
, they will be more confident and become famous.
On the other hand
, unpaid community activities should not become a compulsory part of
school
 for plenty of reasons.
To begin
 with, some
students
 have to earn money to support their family because their parents may not have a good financial condition.
Hence
, asking them to
work
 for unpaid occupations is unacceptable.
For example
, if someone has to study at
school
 as well as have a part-time job, they will not have time for doing
volunteer
work
.
Besides
, there are some
students
 who may have health problems and they can not be doing other activities except go to
school
.
Therefore
, schools should not force them to do
volunteer
work
. To sum up,
although
 joining volunteering activities may help teens more confident and gain more chance for a future career, schools can encourage
students
 to do
volunteer
work
 but should not force
students
 to do it as a compulsory part of studying programme.
