WORKSHOP # 3 – ESSAY

Student: Carlos Alvarez

ESSAY # 1: Children should have part time jobs while attending high school.
There is no a better way to learn new concepts and develop new skills than by
practicing over and over. For that reason, I consider that children should have part time
jobs while attending high school. We all know that the fact that you see other people
doing something or listen to someone telling you how to do it, it does not mean that you
know how to do it. I am sure that if a student has had the chance to see how to do
something or have been told how to do it, it does not mean that he actually knows how
to do it. Therefore, it is really necessary for children to be given the opportunity to put
into practice what they are taught at schools, and there is no a better way than through
a part time job where they are able to bolster what they have been taught, get to acquire
the most valuables core values at a company and really master the skills by learning
when, where and how to apply the new learnt concepts on the job.

First, children are able to bolster the new concepts at the part time job. There is not a
better place to put into practice the new knowledge than at a part time job because most
of companies have a trainer, coach or supervisor who will guide the students through
the different tasks where they have to apply the knowledge as better as possible. For
sure they will have questions which are going to be answered by a professional in the
area who works every day on the same type of tasks and the best of all is that the
students gain the experience of working on real-life scenarios.

Second, they have the chance to acquire the core values in a company. Between the
benefits that children acquire in a part time job are the punctuality and responsibility.
They will be motivated to do their best since they are getting paid for what they are
doing, also, they have to be aware that the future of the company actually depends on
their production, skills and performance. Besides that, they will become more conscious
about the importance of doing a great job and how this impact their team. Also, they will
get more familiar with the core values in a company such as the value creation, can-do
attitude, and commitment to quality. All these benefits will help them to become
professional since a young age.
Third, they have the opportunity to really master the skills on the job. After they have
been taught, seen how to do it, and have the chance the get a broader idea by putting
into practice over and over what they have learnt they will really master the skills and as
students they will improvement a lot and they will easily solve problems and propose
new solutions based on the new skills.

All in all, Student should have the opportunity to be part of a company from young age
in a part time job because this will bring boundless opportunities for children by letting
them to really master the skills on the job, have the chance to acquire the core values in
a company and bolster the new concepts in their part time job. All these benefits will
make of them more conscious, smarter and professional persons. And I am absolutely
sure that in most instances, the entrepreneur spirit will be acquired by them, which will
highly benefit the country and positively impact the world.
ESSAY #2: Which of the following is most important when choosing a house?
 Close to where you work
 Near where your children attend school
 In a safe neighborhood away from the city
Topic: 3 main reasons why you should choose a house close to your workplace.

For most of professionals in almost all the cities, the most complex aspect of their work
life is to move from their house to their office. It could be related to transport or the
traffic but the truth is that people waste a lot of time, every single day. Also, it is
extremely expensive and tiring. Many people with long commutes to work are left with
little energy and enthusiasm to work. So, I consider that people should choose a house
close to their workplace because it saves a lot of time, it ends up being much cheaper,
and It will help you stay healthy.
Firstly, it saves a lot of time. When people live far from their workplace, they have to
travel for hours to be able to reach their office. On the other side, living close the
workplace can save up a lot of time. Besides that, they can use the time in more
productive manner. In some countries where there is not enough taxis or bus, people
have the option to use bikes or even walk which is even better because it helps to keep
healthy and prevent obesity.
Secondly, it ends up being much cheaper. People spent a lot of money traveling all the
way from their house to reach the office in transportation like bus or taxis. Also, people
that have a personal vehicle have to spend money on its own vehicle like on fuel and
maintenance. Therefore, when people live near their workplaces, they end up saving a
lot of money because if it is close enough, they could also consider walking down to
their office or if they do not have to deal with transportation, for those who use their own
vehicles, the fuel expense and the maintenance expense will be reduce.
Thirdly, it will help you stay healthy. People who live close enough to their office can
consider riding a bicycle or walking down to work which is a great way to do physical
exercise, this benefits them with a large numerous health benefit. Also, it is important to
point out that the health condition of people has been going down due to the lack of
physical exercise. If people choose to live near their office, they will have more time to
spend on more exercise. This allows people to dedicate more time on physical fitness
that will help you healthy and active.
To sum up. People should choose a house close to their workplace. In the big cities
people should choose a house as closer as possible to their office because it allows
them to spend more time in a more productive manner allowing people to stay healthy,
it ends up being much cheaper and it saves a lot of time. Therefore, based on my point
of view living close to the workplace is best option when choosing a house.
