In America,many teenagers have a part-time job. They work a few hours each week to make money.
Teens can have many different kinds of part-time jobs. Some teens work in groceries(食品杂货店).Others may work in clothes stores. You may have friends who work in a fast food restaurant. They may make the food or keep the restaurant clean.
Most teens who have part-time jobs work only a few hours after school,maybe two or three times a week. They often have to work all day on Saturday. Having a part-time job has many advantages. The job teaches you new skills that you can use as an adult. The job also teaches you responsibility(责任).The person who pays you for the job expects you to be there. The job also pays you money that you can use for many different things. Your family might need the money to help with the family budget(预算).If you're lucky,you can use the money to buy books. You might want to save the money to buy a new bicycle or maybe even a car.
In some families,teens have part-time jobs to help make money to go to college. Going to college is very expensive. Many parents cannot pay for their children's education without help from the children. In some families,at least half of what a teen makes at a part-time job goes into a college savings account(账户).The teen can spend the rest of the money on what he or she needs or wants.
Many teenagers have part-time jobs and still have time for their friends and families. Many still join clubs at school and even have time to play sports. If you have a part-time job,you need to have a good plan to help you do everything you want and have to do. Do your homework and chores as soon as you can. Don't let the work wait and pile up(堆积). Make sure you get to your job on time. Do the things that are the most important to you. Spend time with the people you care about most.
