【题目要求】
In some countries, teenagers have jobs while they are still students. Do you think this is a good idea? Support your opinion by using specific reasons and details.【题目分析】
注意审题。是teenager而不是college students。Teenagers have jobs,这显然是一个BAD idea。Teenager,意指十几岁的孩子——16岁或者18岁以下(18岁以上就是adult了,16、7的孩子往往被称之为 young adults。参见:[61])。雇用童工(Employing children labor)目前在很多国家是非法(illegal)的。也违反国际儿童保护条约(International Children Act )。允许雇用童工,或存在童工现象,都是一个国家落后愚昧的表现。不要说teenager打工可以锻炼自我,teenager需要的是接受教育,健康成长;不要说teenager打工可以认识社会,teenager还不具备足够的心理承受能力(psychological endurance),过早步入社会 (early exposure to the real world),只能导致世界观、价值观(out look of world, value, etc.)的扭曲(deteriorated; distorted)。作者学术词汇使用比较准确,词汇表达较丰富,但仍需增加词汇积累;句式变化较为明显,可适当增加从句的使用;语言不流畅;连词使用偏少。
Nowadays many college students take part-time jobs in their spare time. Whether it is good or bad is still subject to constant debates. People who oppose the idea of students taking part time jobs say that college student should use their time to focus on exclusively on studying. I would argue instead that part-time jobs helps students focus on their studies, provides valuable practical experience, and allows them a feeling of success and independence that is a perfect complement to their academic pursuits. Furthermore, students can learn how to get along with people and know the society better by taking a part-time job. Finally, students can make some money, which helps to unload their families' financial burden. In a word I believe that college students need to step out of the campus and take some part-time jobs if their schedule permits. After all, it opens them a window to know about the society, which is essential to their maturity.
