[00:08.84]On College Students' Taking Part-time Jobs
[00:13.78]The picture depicts that a teenage boy is looking for a part-time job
[00:19.00]in a fast food restaurant and the good news is he may get one.
[00:24.55]Like this boy,
[00:25.93]nowadays many college students in China are taking part-time jobs.
[00:31.48]As I see it,
[00:33.42]there are both benefits and drawbacks
[00:36.27]for college students' taking part-time jobs.
[00:39.51]On the one hand,
[00:41.54]in addition to getting an income,
[00:44.18]college students taking part-time jobs
[00:47.13]may enjoy a more exciting lifestyle
[00:50.47]as they can meet people from all walks of life
[00:53.74]and develop a sense of responsibility
[00:56.76]which can't be learned in the classroom.
[00:59.96]On the other hand,
[01:01.43]students who take part-time jobs
[01:03.95]may have less time focusing on study,
[01:07.54]and if they seek to excel in both the part-time job and study,
[01:12.97]the busy life they lead may put their health at risk.
[01:17.62]In my opinion,
[01:19.30]college students ought to strike a balance
[01:22.45]between academic study and part-time jobs.
[01:27.00]And always bear in mind
[01:29.14]that a student's priority is to acquire knowledge at school.
