In many countries teenagers are encouraged to do part time jobs. What's the situation like in your country? What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of doing part time jobs

From the psychological point of view, the adolescent period is critical for juveniles to convert their major interest from playing with toys to knowledge learning, both academically and mentally.
Besides
rigid knowledge learnt at
school
, facilitating teenagers to get

part-time

time
jobs
during their extracurricular
time
is wildly tackled by many nations.
Although
there are disadvantages like
time
occupation and distraction when
students
are away from their major task, as mental development and future perspective are considered, I hold the point that the benefits overwhelm the shortages. Despite countries that support
this
extracurricular strategy, there are other nations including my country China which stand on the opposite side, and their major concern might be that temporary
jobs
could reduce
students
' precious
study
time
and distract them from sterile knowledge.
For example
, senior
students
in China often are required to stay at
school
from 7:30 am to 9:00 pm six days a week, it is clear that teenages who share a similar high
school
schedule do not have spare
time
for
part
time
work, and they have to reduce
study
time
for joining in that extra activities.
Moreover
, they might find social works more intristing than cramming
study
, and would think about their work at
study
time
.
However
, many young
students
in China go to
society
directly after finishing high
school
facing the fact that less than 10 percent of young generations could go to university. Provided that they have
part
time
working experience, these teenagers might know better what they would like to do and to be in the future. Experiencing
part
time
work before going to college or
society
help the
next
generations to get in touch with the
society
easier and form their own carrer plans.
For instance
, I never got a chance to think about what I would like to do in the future when I was at high
school
, after graduating from which, I had to decide what I would like to do as a carrer in only one month before pursuing
further
education,
therefore
I almost choosed my major blindly.
Although
I turned out to love my major, many of my colleagues are not as lucky as me and they did like their major for a long
time
. In conclusion,
although
engaging in temperory
jobs
as teenagers can occupy some
study
time
and lead to distraction in some extent, it is still worthwhile to encourage
next
genertions to do some easy community works of volunteer
jobs
to discover the need of our
society
and their anticipant careers.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
