Holidays Task 1

Topic: Working during the school holidays: What are the pros and cons of working during the school holidays?

Nowadays, students intend to work during their school holidays. It is good to have students working during holidays but there are pros and cons. The pros of having students working during the holidays are "Jobs help students develop a sense of responsibility" and "Jobs help students learn to manage their money". The cons of having students working during the holidays are "Students who work find it difficult to keep up extracurricular activities" and "Overworked students sleep less and spend less time with their families".

Firstly, I feel that working during the holidays could help students develop a sense of responsibility.When students work during the holidays, they tend to learn new things as they start working with what they had never experience before. Therefore, students learn to be responsible when they work as they do not want to make mistake and get fired by their boss.

Secondly, I feel that working during the holidays could help students learn to manage their money. When students get to know that earning money is a very difficult jobs, they tend to spend lesser as they know that money is not easy to earn. Therefore, students know that working life is not easy.

Thirdly, students will have difficulty keeping up with extracurricular activities. When students start working during the holidays, their working and extracurricular activities time may clash together. This make the students have no choice but to go to work instead of going to their extracurricular activities. Thus, this may affect their attendance for their extracurricular activities.

Lastly, students will get overworked and ending up sleeping less and spent less time with family. Students will rush over their work and holidays homework and tend to sleep less and even spent less time with their own family. Thus, this may affect their health and family bonding.

In conclusion, I feel that students are encourage to work during the holidays as it is a very good experience for them to know about the hardship of working and earning money. At the same time, there are also disadvantage of working during the holidays.
