23)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.

In modern society, it is very common to see teenagers working everywhere in the city. Whatever part time jobs they are doing, they are preparing for their future. School may be the best place for proper education but not for preparation for the outside working world. Indeed, teenagers learn a lot of things through the jobs they do while they are still students.

To start with, teenagers must learn how to arrange their time. For example, an employee needs to work at 7.00 in the early morning. This means he has to present at the company by 7.00 no matter how late he stayed up last night. Moreover, as a student, he has to make good use of his time and spend it properly on both studying and working. He avoids bad habits such as going out late at night and getting up late in the morning [Parallelism: going out / getting up]

Another point is that teenagers will appreciate the value of money. They work hard and realize how difficult it is to make money. They also understand that “Money does not grow on trees”. Before buying an expensive clothes or shoes, they remember their parents’ hard work and think more carefully whether they should buy them or not.

But of most benefit to teenagers working is that they get some useful experiences which they cannot learn at school. For example, after leaving university, Bill Gates worked outsides and gained valuable experience on what does and doesn't work. Since the time he started his career in a garage, he has now become the most successful man, with the modern development of computer technology. [Needs rewriting]

Although teenagers have responsibility to concentrate on their academic studies, part-time jobs are also important for their future work. Personally, I think teenagers should be allowed to do some part-time jobs to adapt to the working environment and get lessons from real life.
