Some people believe that teenagers should be required to do unpaid community work in their free time. This can benefit teenagers and the community as well. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent years, it's been thought that

teenagers

should be forced to engage in voluntary

work

in order to improve both themselves and the community. From my perspective, I'm completely inclined towards

this

idea. One evident benefit from

this

idea is the

teenagers

' contribution to society. In today's modern world, the large majority of youngsters immerse themselves in social networking sites

such

as Facebook or Instagram in their spare time

instead

of doing something actually meaningful and helpful to help people around. That's why encouraging them into taking part in unpaid community

work

not only help them to spend their free time effectively but

also

raise their awareness about the alarming issues around them. The

second

reason supporting

this

opinion is the practical skills that

teenagers

obtain after taking part in voluntary

work

.

In other words

, while

teenagers

are engaging in the

work

, they can improve their agility, teamwork skills and

also

communicate with other people in order to gain their social skills and expand their circles of friends as well, which is essential for their future job opportunities.

In addition

to the two benefits above, after youngsters accomplish their voluntary

work

, they would often get a certificate as proof of their effort.

This

can be written in their cover letters in order to increase their career prospects. In conclusion,

although

teenagers

should be allowed to do whatever they want in their spare time, it's necessary for them to spend it effectively as a way to prepare themselves before stepping into universities.
