　　【范文】 Teenagers and Part-time Jobs

　　In many countries it is common for teenagers to take part-time jobs while they are still in high school, while in other societies this is virtually² unheard of. In the latter situation, students are expected to spend all of their time on their studies and consider schoolwork their "job". In my opinion, students benefit³ more from a more balanced lifestyle, which may include working at a part-time job. Therefore, I believe that it is a good idea for students to work while studying.

　　While it is true that a student’s most important goal must be to learn and to do well at his studies, it does not need to be the only goal. In fact, a life which consists of only study is not balanced and may cause the student to miss out on other valuable learning⁴ experiences. In addition to bringing more balance to a student’s life, part-time work can broaden⁵ his range of experience. He will have the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and will be faced with a wider variety of problems to solve. Furthermore⁶, work helps a student to develop greater independence, and earning his own pocket money can teach him how to handle his finances⁷. Finally, a part-time job can help a student to develop a greater sense of responsibility⁸, both for his own work and for that of the team he works⁹ with.

　　For all of these reasons, I firmly believe that most students would benefit from taking a part-time job while they are in high school. Of course, they must be careful not to let it take up too much of their time because study is still their primary responsibility. In sum, living a balanced life is the best way to be successful.

　　【译文】青少年与打工

　　在许多国家，青少年普遍会在高中时期打工。然而在有些国家，这几乎是前所未闻的。如果是后者的情况，那是因为一般认为学生应把所有的时间花在学业上，把学业当作是自己的"工作"。我认为，生活方式越均衡，对学生就越好，而均衡的生活则须包含打工。所以我认为，在就学期间打工是个不错的想法。

　　虽然学生最重要的目标的确必须是学习，而且功课要好，但这不必是学生惟一的目标。事实上，只重视学业的生活并不均衡，这可能会使学生错过其他珍贵的学习经验。打工除了使生活更均衡外，还可拓展学生的经验。学生可以有机会见识各行各业的人，而且会面临更多各种不同的问题需要解决。此外，工作帮助学生更加独立，而且自己赚零用钱还可以教导他如何处理自己的财务。最后，打工可以帮助学生培养对自己的工作和团队工作更大的责任感。

　　基于这些理由，我坚决相信，大多数学生在高中时期打工都能获益。当然，他们也必须小心，不要让打工占据太多时间，因为学业仍然是青少年首要的责任。总之，过均衡的生活才是最佳的成功之道。
