It is believed that high school
students
 should be forced to
work
 in community service without being paid as a part of education programmes. I personally believe that
life

 become more and more important in our modern
life
 and by doing voluntary

students
 not only can improve their valuable
skills
 but
also
 encourage them to have a healthy

 balance.
Therefore

students
 to

 in charity organizations. Nowadays, unfortunately, teenagers do not have many after-school
