What I listened to / read
After the class, I try to make a blog myself, and it is nice that no problem with it. So, I saw a news report about: 'Should Schoolchildren Have Jobs'. So, I plan to share it with the other classmates who who interested in this type of topic.

What I read
In the clip, it says about the types of jobs that schoolchildren have during their school years. In the clip, it also gives an information about what is a Saturday job. A Saturday job is the name we give to part time work that teenagers do for extra money. These jobs often take place on Saturdays but not always. There are also some interviews from British Children about their Saturday jobs. The statistic results also indicate that teenagers are also facing pressure because their school work is heavy, and they would like to concentrate on their school work more. But for the other students, they think it is an opportunity for them to gain some social experience.

What I response
As an international college student, I love part time jobs. Last year, I worked in Thaifex. It is an international trade convention center and people from different countries have their food exhibitions there. So, I had a chance to meet people from almost 70 countries. Unfortunately, I had Korean class at that time, so I skipped the class and did the part-time in Thaifex. During that time, I've learned a lot about doing business. The area I work on was guest lounge and hosted buyer. I observed how they conducted their business negotiations and how they introduced their products.
Nowadays, there are more and more companies are opening internationally, and they are seeking more opportunities to introduce their products to the world. As a college student, I would suggest you to work as a part time if you are not so busy with your school work. Of course, I shouldn't have shipped the Korean class. To be honest, it's quite hard for me to follow the Korean class because I skipped the class for a week. Therefore, there are advantages and disadvantages of doing part time job.We should make a plan first. Or else, we would have problems with our schools work. Only in this way, can we benefit from doing part time job.
I guess that the source you listened to is "6 Minute English: Should schoolchildren have jobs?". Is that right?
ReplyDeleteI like the variety of voices to practice listening to.
This topic is interesting. Saturday job is one of the best ways for teenagers to find work experience and to learn the business management but in my opinion , teenagers should not do a part-time job because teenagers have to concentrate on their studies. If they really want to do a part-time job ,they should do during their school holidays. In Thailand, Work and travel program are popular for many students. Many of my friends apply to Work and travel program on their school holidays to work at hotel , restaurant and amusement park. This gives them a chance not only to find experience living and working in the USA but they’re also learning languages and cultures.
ReplyDeleteIt's great topic.In Thailand, We can see lots of students try to earn some money by themselves for many purposes. I do agree with you that students'll get experience and knowledge by working ,but they have to realize that their major role is studying.
ReplyDeleteMy friends in university earn money by teaching high school students in any subject which they're good at. They have to repeat their study and prepare contents for teaching .So, Balancing the time to work and study is necessary.
