Some people think that all teenagers should be required to do unpaid work in their free time to help the local community. They believe this would benefit both the individual teenager and society as a whole. Do you agree or disagree?
It is thought that young individuals should be asked to involve in volunteer
community
work
when they have spare time
since this
can be advantageous for themselves and society. In my opinion, I partly agree with this
statement for some reasons.
On the one hand, it is undeniable that participating in community
activities may bring about several positive impacts. First,
teenagers may gain unexpected self-improvement from this
trend, which could give them a lot of opportunities to meet new friends, have more precious life experiences and a bunch of helpful soft skills. For example
, if an adolescent organizes a free class to teach poor children a foreign language, like English, he is able to practice his language ability, communication skills, flexibility, creativity as well as
his skill of patience. Second,
young people reckon that they not only volunteer because of personal development but also
for the sake of the whole society's prospects. Working for charity projects, cooking at a soup kitchen or devoting time
and effort to cleaning up local streets all help our community
become a better place to live.
On the other hand
, I do not consider forcing teenagers to do those jobs in their free time
a good idea. To begin
with, it is better not to push them because this
may create some negative feelings if they have to do something they do not really want to.
Only when people are ready and realize what the actual merits of voluntary activities could be, they will spend Add a missing verb

time
on them enthusiastically without resentment. In addition
, teenagers are students who must work
really hard at school under a lot of heavy pressure from their teachers, peers and families, so they have an understandable need for a quality relaxing time
. Instead
of being required to finish unpaid work
, they had better possess a right to choose suitable leisure pursuits for themselves, such
as hanging out with friends, watching blockbuster movies on Netflix or travelling somewhere.
In conclusion, although
doing unpaid community
work
is beneficial for the development of both young individuals and the public as a whole, I hold a conviction that this
should be an optional activity in their free time
rather than a compulsory one.Submitted by thanhthao.081096 on
