2. • I would like to work as a teaching assistant in kindergarten. I really enjoy spending time with small children and I am thinking of working as a teacher in kindergarten in the future. So working as a teaching assistant would definitely be a great experience for me.

• I would like to work in a company, whether big or small, because in the future I plan to establish my own business. Working part-time in a company would give me some idea of what it is like to work in a company, how a company is run, and what job a boss should do.

Reference:

In my opinion, the most important advantages of doing part-time jobs are: gaining work experience, acquiring communicative skills, and building connections for future career. In doing part-time jobs, especially those jobs which are related to my field of study, I can build up my work experience and enrich my resume. Besides, in working, I may have to communicate with different kinds of people, so it can help develop my communicative skills, which are essential to success. And in getting to know some important people in the workplace, I can build some contacts for my future career.

1. To measure the impact of employment on student achievement.

2. According to the research, a heavy commitment to part-time work undermines and significantly interferes with school achievement and commitment.

3. About 10 hours per week or less.

4. Students become interested in study again.

5. Students may take easier classes, copy others' assignments, cut class, or refuse to do assignments, and over time, students' commitment to school is eroded bit by bit.

6. Students may find school less rewarding and interesting, and it is highly possible that those who have been working long hours will drop out of school before graduation.

7. Because teenagers working long hours frequently have more money to spend than their peers, and they often become used to spending their earnings on drugs and alcohol.

8. Doing part-time jobs while studying is acceptable, but students should work no more than 10 hours a week if they want to be successful in school.

1. • Yes, I think early employment can definitely build character because besides study, you have to fit yourself into the working environment. You can learn interpersonal skills, social responsibility and professional ethics in a working setting. Moreover, you have to try hard to strike a balance between work, study, and play. In this way, you will develop a strong sense of responsibility and boost your self-confidence.

• No, not necessarily. Though early employment may help students to gain some work experience, it is not necessarily helpful in building their character. Because they have to spend quite a lot of time working and may become less responsible or less committed to their study. Too much work may also lead to alcohol and drug abuse. So, in some cases, early employment undermines character-building rather than help it.

2. • Yes, I agree. Students have so many academic tasks to complete in college that they hardly have any extra time for work. If they work, they will certainly have to spend less time and energy on study, which is likely to depress their school performance. I see many working students around me sleep in class, skip class, or copy others' assignments. If they cannot be responsible students when they should be, how could they become responsible people after graduation? So, I think students should take study as their main task instead of doing part-time jobs.

• No, I don't agree. College students should prepare themselves for future careers, so they need not only to perform well academically but also develop other skills because surviving in society requires more than book knowledge. Working part-time can expose students to the real world and help them acquire basic interpersonal skills. Besides, by earning money to pay for their study, college students can learn how to manage their money and become less dependent on their parents.

3. • Yes, I agree with the author that working while studying has many negative impacts on students, such as not getting enough rest, decreased school performance, abuse of drugs and alcohol. As one's time and energy are limited, working, even part-time, will affect one's study. Therefore, students should take study seriously and it is critical not to work long hours while studying at college. • No, I don't think there are so many negative impacts of working while studying as mentioned by the author. I have many classmates who are working part-time to cover their tuition. Most of them are responsible students as they want to share the financial burden with their parents. They also study very hard for scholarships. At the same time, they try to make full use of their working time. Some of them work with their professors in the lab, so their work does not interfere with their study. In fact, working may benefit their study because they can apply what is learned in class in practice.

4. • Yes, I think part-time jobs may help build a sense of responsibility, which in turn may enhance students' school performance. Because if you take part-time jobs while studying, you have to follow the work ethics, observe the working schedule, work up to expectations, contribute to teamwork, and balance work and study. All these will help you to multitask, to be more efficient, to cultivate a sense of responsibility, and to enhance your school performance.

• No, I don't think part-time jobs help to build a sense of responsibility, not to mention enhancing students' school performance because students who take part-time work, especially those who work long hours, have to strike a balance between work and study. To meet the demanding working schedule, more often than not, they have to cut corners, for example, by devoting less time to study or ignoring homework. Moreover, they may spend more on entertainment and luxury goods as they have more spending money. Students who work long hours usually fail to meet the academic requirements and have no clear plan for career development.

5. Part-time employment provides a good opportunity for students to learn many other things other than book knowledge. It has many positive influences: • building a sense of responsibility as you have to accomplish your tasks;

• building self-discipline as you have to manage your time well and rely on yourself;

• gaining social skills and work experience as you interact with people outside the classroom;

• broadening your vision as you learn about the workplace and society;

• having more employment opportunities as you gain work experience in preparation for your future career.

There are several reasons why people get fired from their jobs. First, people may lose their jobs if they have some dishonest behaviors, such as cheating in their job applications or telling lies in work. Second, employees may be fired due to poor attendance. No boss likes an employee who is often late for or absent from work. Third, people having difficulty getting along with their co-workers are also likely to be fired because they may cause conflicts in the workplace. Therefore, to be a good employee, it is important to be honest, punctual, and cooperative.

间隔年指的是学生休假不去上学而去旅游或工作等的一段时间，但不一定是一年。间隔年通常选在高中毕业和进入大学之前的一段时间。在这段时间里，学生可以旅游、参加志愿者工作或者在国外边打工边度假。一种新潮流是参加集语言学习、住家、文化交流、社区服务和自主学习于一体的国际教育活动。间隔年的做法于20世纪60年代兴起于英国。它在英国、澳大利亚、新西兰和加拿大已经变得非常流行。但是在美国，间隔年的做法仍然只是个别现象。不过近年来，间隔年对美国人来说变得稍微普遍起来。2013年有大约四万美国学生参加了间隔年活动，比2006年增加了近20%。普林斯顿大学、哈佛大学、麻省理工学院等大学都有明文规定允许学生延迟入学。

Since its economic reform and opening-up to the world, China's education has gone through rapid development and made remarkable achievements. The Chinese government gives top priority to the development of education, persists in revitalizing the country by science and education, and fully advocates quality-oriented education. Meanwhile, it actively promotes equality in education to guarantee everyone access to education. China's achievements in education can be reflected in two different layers: One is the popularization of the nine-year compulsory education; the other is the realization of mass higher education. The development of education has made significant contributions to China's economic development and social progress. In recent years, to satisfy the needs of social and economic development, the Chinese government has sped up the training of qualified personnel urgently needed in various fields.

1. As the cost of attending university has soared over the last two decades, a frank and vigorous debate is emerging over who should pay for the cost of higher education. While in some countries students have always been expected to absorb part or even all of their tuition costs through work or borrowing, in other countries the tremendous cost of attending university has been provided by the relevant education authority or by parents. I am proud to be in the small minority of students who \"earn as they learn\" and absorb the cost of their own university education in spite of the many obstacles. (Para. 1) 2. I am aware that my work and study choices are not popular and that many influential studies claim to illustrate that working while going to school

negatively impacts educational performance. They cite increased dropout rates, lower scores and reduced lifetime earnings. Besides, these studies also give evidence that many students exhaust much of their earnings not on school, but on entertainment and partying while attending school. The studies also show increased abuse of alcohol and drugs, which leads me to question these students' resolve and commitment to the serious side of life. (Para. 7)

1. It is no easy task for a working student to strike a balance between work and study. The following tips may help:

• good time management: Plan your time wisely and you can make the best out of it.

• modest working hours: Working too long can weaken your health and affect your school performance.

• efficiency in work and study: Learn to work and study more efficiently because higher efficiency saves your time and energy.

• good health: Get good sleep and do some exercise. After all, you can neither work nor study well if you are sick.

2. • I admire the students who work to pay their own tuition as long as they are still performing well academically because they are independent, responsible, and self-motivated. They have to work harder on fewer hours of sleep, but certainly they will find it rewarding as they have made full use of their time in college. What's more, the skills they learn from their part-time work will put them in a more advantageous position when seeking employment after graduation. They also share the financial burden with their parents by paying their own tuition. Therefore, I think we should learn from them.

• I feel pity for the working students as they are not able to fully enjoy their college life like many other students. They have less time to study or to do other fun activities. They may have fewer true friends as they are busy making money. Though they can gain some work experience, that may not be helpful for their future careers because part-time work usually involves labor work rather than professional work. They may feel regretful after graduation because only by then will they know what they have missed as college students.

3. • Yes, working part-time definitely helps students learn to prioritize and become more efficient. To balance work and study, working students often encounter time conflicts and approaching deadlines. So they have to know which is the most urgent and important under different circumstances. They can be frustrated in the beginning. But once they learn how to prioritize, they can work and study more efficiently than others because they can multitask.

• No, not necessarily. Working students often have to give priority to their work when their study conflicts with their work. If they fail to go to work as scheduled, they may lose their job and the income it brings about. They surely don't want that to happen. As a result, they may skip class or fail to turn in their assignments. Moreover, since working students have to study and work at the same time, they are more likely to get tired and may thus become more stressful and less efficient in their study.

4. No, not necessarily. Though paying tuition is a sign of being independent, there are other ways to show our independence. For example:

• helping parents with housework to show that we contribute to the family; • helping other students in need to show that we care for others;

• doing volunteer work and contributing to society to share social responsibility; • being excellent in academic study to show that we can prioritize and know what is most important to us.

5. The advantages of studying full-time without working part-time are obvious. By studying full-time, students will have more time to: • focus on study and do well academically;

• rest and relax, thus leading a more colorful college life; • have fun and be more optimistic about life;

• stay with their families and build a better relationship with their parents;

• visit with friends and build friendships, which may benefit them for lifetime; and

• sample widely and get prepared for future careers.
