Read the following text about doing part-time jobs.
…There are more and more part-time jobs for students. Many of them take part-time jobs
while studying in the universities or colleges. Some students think that doing parttime
jobs whilst at university can have some good impacts on their life whereas others feel that
it will have bad ef ect on their studies….

jobs to students.
Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer. You should write at
least 250 words.Your response will be evaluated in terms of Task fulfilment,
Organization, Vocabulary and Grammar.
In mordent life, part-time jobs to student becomes more and more popular. Besides
positives effects, there are still negative effects of this matter discussed in this essay.
The man benefits of this include the followings. The most important on is the student
can develop life skills and gain experiences. The student will have chance to study and
develop their soft skills that help them become the valueble people of society. Another
point to consider is they can earn money to help the family. Because when students go
to work any part-time job, they will also be paid by the employer. That money they can
send to their parents to use. Finally, when student do part time jobs, they probably
have a good CV. Employers will give preference to new graduate students but they
have a good CV. These are great influences of part time jobs to student
On the orther hand, there are some disadvantages part time jobs to student can bring
to student’s live. The most serious one is they fell more stressful than their friend
because they have to work and learn all day. They have a lot of homework to do rather
than working outside. An additional bad point is student wil not have enough time to
study. Some of them will wỏk till late at night they don’t focus on their learning and
their result can decrease. Last but not least, they don’t have much time to care of
themsalve and visit their parents because they have to work and learn all day. These
drawbacks should be solved soon
In short, part time jobs to students not only brings significant advantages but also causes serious
disadvantages. From my point of view, the disadvantages should be resolved soon.
