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?

It is argued that

teenagers

should contribute to the

work

.

Instead

, we should encourage youngsters to voluntarily contribute to the

community

more often. On one hand, compulsory services can be negatively affected their studies. Nowadays, students have tight and busy time schedules.

For example

, I had at least two exam periods in one semester when I was in high school. It may be difficult for some of the students to spare some time for the

work

. In

this

case, adding compulsory services increases students’ burden, causing poor academic results.

Although

compulsory charity

work

can force a lot of students to contribute to the

community

, it certainly becomes a waste of chance if they do not understand the underlying message of doing charity

work

.

On the other hand

, doing voluntary

work

should be more encouraged by schools and the

community

.

Firstly

,

this

is better to cultivate students’ motivation to actively participate in the

community

and even start to develop a sense of belonging to the neighbourhood.

This

is one of the best learning experiences for them to learn to be responsible like an adult.

Secondly

, it allows more flexibility for

teenagers

to choose from. Some of them can pick the

work

that they can benefit from their career development,

such

as video-editing or child education, while some of them can utilize the chance to explore their interests and skills.

This

helps youngsters to gradually develop their confidence and self-esteem. In conclusion,

teenagers

should not be required to do

community

work

.

However

, it should be replaced by voluntary

work

to maximize the advantages created for

teenagers

and the

community

.
