Why do students prefer doing part-time jobs during their studies? Do you ‎think this has more advantages or disadvantages?‎

#students #jobs #studies #‎think
There has been a phenomenon that more and more
students
 are engaged in part-
time
jobs
. There are advantages and disadvantages. I think the advantages of doing part-
time
jobs
 outweigh their disadvantages, and my reasons will be explained in the following paragraphs.
First
, lessening their financial pressure. It's expected that
students
 are required to pay a large amount of money to the universities for their tuition fees. Some get help from their parents, but others have to solve it themselves. In order to cover their tuition fees, loans are popular among
students
.
However
, when they graduate, they already own the bank a considerable amount of money. At
this
 point, if
students
 can find some
jobs
, their financial stress can be alleviated to a large extent. They can use the salary from that work to cover their tuition fees.
Second
, gaining some working
experience
. As we know,
experience
 is of the utmost importance in all fields, and applicants with
experience
 are more likely to be recruited. Take me as an example. I started working
this
 summer, but I'm not doing well in my job. When I was a student, my parents did all the work for me;
hence
, when I started working, I didn't have any

experience
, and it took me some
time
 to be used to
this
 work. In
this
 case, had I worked before, I could have worked more effectively.
On the other hand
, doing part-
time
jobs
 have some disadvantages.
For example
, infringing upon
students
' study
time
. It's commonplace that you have to spend a sizeable portion of
time
 working weekly if you are engaged in a part-
time
 job. In
this
 case, your study
time
 is taken, and your studying efficiency is worsened because you are too tired to study when you are off-duty, In conclusion, I believe the merits of doing part-
time
jobs
 outstrip their demerits.

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
