Andrew Smith

English F19

December 19, 2020.

In some countries, the United States of America for instance, many teengers work while they are
still studying at school or at the university, As far I am concerned, this is a really bad idea.

To being with, studying at school or University is full-time occupation. Students need time to take
notes revise, do assigments and research topics. In my opion, students who work in the evening or
at the weekrnd do not have time to do these thing properly. Furthermore, young people often
work in bad conditions or late at night. Thi means that after work they find it difficult to pay
attetion and concentrate.

On the other hand, some people say that work experience can help to make you more
independent and responsible. I agree with this, up to a point, However, there is time for students
to again this experience when they finish their studies.

To sum up. I believe that student´s real responsibility is to learn as much as possible. They can only
do this if study full-time, with no other distraction.
