題目
In some countries, parents encourage teenagers to have jobs while they are still students.
Explain the reasons. Support your opinion by using specific reasons and details.

第一段
In some Asian countries, such as Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, parents normally expect their children to fully concentrate on their schoolwork.
在一些亞洲國家，例如韓國、日本和台灣，父母通常希望他們的孩子全心專注在學業上。

However, others, such as America, Germany, and Britain, parents encourage teenagers to work part-time even when they still at school.
然而其他的國家，例如美國、德國和英國，父母則是鼓勵青少年去打工，即使他們還在學校就讀。

The reasons why those parents hold an open attitude toward children's learning are explained in the following paragraphs.
以下段落解釋了這些父母對孩子的學習持開放態度的原因。

第二段
The first reason supporting the statement is that learning effectively is the top priority for a student; however, it is not necessarily the only goal.
支持該說法的第一個原因是有效學習是學生的首要任務，但不一定是唯一的目標。

In fact, a meaningful life is supposed to be full of varieties.
事實上，一個有意識的生活應該是充滿著多樣性。

Those who only study are likely to miss out some opportunities which may help them gain much more learning experiences.
那些只學習的學生可能會錯過一些幫助他們獲取更多學習經驗的機會。

For example, teenagers with jobs are faced with practical demands from the outer world.
舉例來說，有工作的青少年需要面對外界的實際需求。

This kind of practice may influence the way their talk, dress, and even think.
這種做法可能影響他們的說話、穿著甚至是思考的方式。

Those benefits are not likely to be acquired if teenage students only focus on academic pursuit.
如果年輕的學生只專注在學葉上，不太可能獲得這些好處。

第三段
The second reason sustaining the statement is that responsibility should not be confined to schoolwork only; instead, it should go beyond that realm.
支持該說法的第二個原因是責任心不應僅限於學業; 相反地，它應該超越該領域。

Some experts claim that students are more likely to be responsible for their lives as soon as they are engaged in their part-time jobs.
有些專家聲稱學生從事兼職工作後，對自己生活負責任的可能性就更大。

For example, they have to work on time, perform in their job correctly, satisfy the requirement from their boss, and effectively arrange their work as well as study.
舉例來說，他們需要準時工作、正確履行職責、滿足老闆的要求及有效率的安排工作和學習。

There is no doubt that having a job is a fantastic way for teenagers to be mature, independent. and responsible.
毫無疑問地，工作是一個能使青少年變成熟、獨立、負責任的絕佳方式。

第四段
The last reason defending the statement is that working part-time stimulates young adults to explore the way for their future work.
支持該說法的最後一個理由是兼職工作可以促使年輕人去探索未來的工作。

Most well-protected students, for example, have no idea what they intend to do in a particular course and what their aims are for the next two or five years, not to mention the idea of what kind of people they are likely to become.  
舉例來說，大多數受到良好保護的學生不知道他們打算在特定的課程中做什麼以及未來二到五年的目標，更不用說他們想成為什麼樣的人的想法了。

Through essential experience, there is possibility that they understand what they are going to pursue in future career.
透過必要的經驗，他們可能了解自己在未來職業要追求的目標是什麼。

Therefore, it is innocuous to have students learn to take more than one responsibility in their early age — a way of preparing them to face the adult world.
因此，對學生來說在年輕時學會承擔不只一項責任是讓他們提早準備面對成人世界的一種方式。

第五段
To sum up, I am firmly convinced that most students are able to benefit from taking part-time jobs while they are still studying.
綜合以上所述，我堅信大多數就學中的學生可以從兼職工作中受益。

With suitable time allotment, they may reach balance between academic studies and jobs, become more independent, and better perceive what their future directions.
透過適當的時間分配，他們可以在學業和工作之間達到平衡，變得更加獨立及更加了解未來的方向。
