问题     Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes (for example working for a charity, improving the neighbourhood or teaching sports to younger children).
    To what extent do you agree or disagree?

选项

答案     It has been suggested that high school students should be involved in unpaid community services as a compulsory part of high school programmes. Most of the colleges are already providing opportunities to help students gain work experience, but these are not compulsory. In my opinion, sending students to work in community services is a good idea.
    Life skills are very important and by doing voluntary work, students can learn not only how to communicate with others and work in a team but also how to manage their time and improve their organisational skills. Nowadays, unfortunately, teenagers do not have many after-school activities. After-school clubs are no longer that popular and students mostly go home and sit in front of the TV, browse Internet or play video games.
    Given compulsory work activities with charitable or community organisations, they will be encouraged to do something more creative. Skills gained through compulsory work will not only be an asset on their CV but also increase their employability. Students will also gain more respect towards work and money as they will realise that it is not that easy to earn them and hopefully will learn to spend them in a more practical way.
    Admittedly, unpaid jobs for charity organisations take up some time of students who need to spend more valuable time on their study. Namely, in a short term, this activity cannot bring any reward for those participants. However, any kind of charity work in spare time will prevent them from sitting and doing nothing. Furthermore, with sufficient social experiences and working skills, students may be more competitive in the job market after graduation in the foreseeable future.
    In conclusion, I think this is a very good idea, and I hope this programme will be put into action for high schools shortly.
