When you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sport to play and fun to be had. But our parents probably advise us to find a job to make some pocket money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round: delivering newspapers to people's homes. I then turned to a Saturday job in a supermarket: putting the things on the shelves in order and working at the checkout.
Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children take up part-time jobs. It's a taste of independence. Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and about managing your money. So, that's no bad thing!
Some research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday job could be detrimental to a person later. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that employer's（雇主） organizations criticized young adults because they were ill-prepared for full time work. And they were proved not having taken part-time work at school age. However, a recent report has shown that the number of school children in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by 20% in the past five years.
So, does this mean that British teenagers are now more afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts feel that young people think going out to work will influence their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results---and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that "Proper part-time work is a good way to help young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives." It's all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.
Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13-year-old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that "I enjoy my job because I'm making money and it helps my confidence speaking to people and socializing with people I work with." That seems like something worth getting up for on a Saturday morning. Did you do a part-time job when you were at school?
1.According to the passage, teenagers probably prefer on the weekend.
A. doing homework to having fun with friends
B. playing sports outside to doing homework at home
C. having fun with their parents to playing sports outside
D. playing sports to delivering newspapers to people's homes
2.What does the word "detrimental" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Harmful. B. Impossible. C. Important. D. Worthy.
3.According to the passage, Geoff Barton probably agrees that .
A. Teenagers like taking part-time jobs more than full-time jobs.
B. doing part-time jobs is more important than studying and resting.
C. taking up part-time jobs benefits teenagers' future working lives.
D. teenagers are under more pressure now to study hard and get good grades.
4.What's the writer's main purpose in writing the passage?
A. To call people's attention to the school children
B. To Criticize school children are out of control
C. To show school children dislike part-time jobs
D. To encourage school children to take part-time jobs
