More than 80% of American high school students work at part-time jobs in the evenings, on weekends or in
summer. These part-time jobs bring teenagers great advantages.
One of the benefits of the work is the students can learn the skills that will be useful for the rest of their lives.
When they work, they have to manage both the job and schoolwork. To be able to do so, they must be very
organized and able to keep a sensible schedule. They also learn to cope with the job stress apart from the stress of
the schoolwork. Some of the most stressful jobs include teaching, nursing, and police work. These skills help
prepare teenagers for their later careers. High school students who work are more likely to succeed as adults than
people who enter the job market at a later age with no work experience.
Teenagers want a lot of expensive things: clothes, mp3 players, trips with their friends, etc. Not all parents can
afford them. And even if they can, the teens might not really appreciate that money because they did not earn it.
When teenagers make money for themselves, they know its true and are less likely to spend it foolishly.

The thing I like most when I was young was the change of seasons. Spring, summer, autumn and winter - I could
see them all come and go and each one was completely different. Now in the city, you can buy summer flowers in
winter and eat the same vegetables all year round! Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at certain times
of the year – for example strawberries in June and tulips in winter. I lived my childhood in the seasons.
Also, we made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything was fresh - so it must be
better than the type of food I am taking now in the city. City people may think people in the country miss a lot of
things about modern life, but in my opinion, they miss a lot of more than them – they miss real life.

In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very useful in teaching and
learning. Many schools have bought television sets, intending to use them effectively to improve the quality of
education; but actually, they are rarely used properly in classrooms. Meanwhile, children spend the majority of
their out-of-school hours watching TV and their typical school days proceed as if television did not exist.
There are some explanations for the failure of television to get the interest of the teachers. Firstly, the schools that
purchased television sets have not set aside money for equipment repairs and maintenance, so these television sets
are sooner and later out of order. Secondly these schools have not found an effective way to train teachers to
integrate television into their ongoing instructional programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the quality of
television and its usefulness in the classroom. Teachers at the schools work hard for at least twelve years to train
their students to become good readers. However, according to recent statistics, teenagers seldom spend their free
time reading books and newspapers but watching television instead.
