In many countries, a lot of teenagers have their part-time jobs and it would be a controversial issue whether it is good for teenagers have jobs while they are still students. Some people might say that teenagers should not have jobs because they should devoted to school works. However, I disagree with this idea for the following two reasons; having them learn social skills and teaching them about money.

Firstly, when it comes to learning how to be sociable, there is nothing more useful than having jobs. Some might think that they could learn social skills by attending their schools. However, you may not deny that having jobs enables teenagers to learn what can not be taught at school. For exampe, by having their part-time jobs, they could learn how to be patient with coustomer's irrational complaints, how to compete with their co-workers, and so on. As society is getting more complex, human relationships are more complicated. Thus, the role of job has changed. In the past, job is an only means of living, but now, it plays a primary role in learning sociability.

Moreover, as far as learning about money is concerned, having jobs is very desirable. In a modern society, the important thing is not what we have, but how we can make money. From learning the value of money to having a sense of responsibilty, there is nothing beneficial for students than having jobs. According to a survey recently published by "British Human Reserach Institute" compared with those who do not have jobs, those teenagers who have jobs in their school years will be more likely to have positive perspectives of money and the wealth. This illustrates why teenagers should have their job experiences

In summary, although some mignt think that students only study hard because they are in the most important period in their lives, I believe that teenager's having jobs is desriable. As shown above, it has some advantages : having them learn social skills and teaching about the meanig of money. These merits seem to make more and more teenager try to have jobs.

Second, Taipei is a place where you can learn what you want to learn. There are so many colleges, schools, training classes in Taipei. The learning opportunities is available all year round. If you want to learn English composition, ther are a lot of schools and classes for you to choose.

Last but not least, you never feel bored in Taipei. There are so many places where you can go, and so many activities that you can do. When you get up in the morning, you can go to the nearest coffee shop and enjoy drinking a cup of coffee. Or you can choose to eat Chinese foods. There always have a variety of thing for you to choose. If you feel upset, you can go to night pub, listening some tender music.
