Part-time Jobs for Teenagers

1 As a teenager, you are likely to have both free time and a desire to earn some money. By
working to earn money yourself, you can learn a lot about the value of things as well as the
world of business. What you get out of a job depends on your attitude. If your attitude is ‘I
hate this job’, then obviously you will not benefit much from it. If, on the other hand, you
5 look at it as an opportunity to learn how things work from the inside out, then the benefits
can be great.
Typical jobs for teenagers include working at a fast-food restaurant, working as a
shop assistant or arranging products on the shelves at a supermarket. Baby-sitting, for
example, is a usual way for responsible teenagers who like being with kids to make money.
10 If baby-sitting does not appeal to you, then you might want to consider in-home pet care
when owners are on holiday; washing cars for neighbours or teaching people how to use
computers or the Internet.
Another way of gaining experience is to offer your services to a small business,
which could really benefit from a part-time helper who is reliable and mature. In return, you
15 can learn a lot of things about the business. You will be surprised at how quickly you
become a valued part of the team.
However, for many teenagers, there are many problems associated with getting a job.
You may not be old enough or you may lack reliable transportation. You may not have
enough total time available or a regular enough schedule for someone to hire you. You
20 might not even be able to find a job in an area that you enjoy. Another problem is the how
much you can be paid. You will need to call around to ask potential customers and your
friends to find out the answer.
Finally, you can work as a volunteer for a charity or non-governmental organisation.
You will not earn any money, but you can gain valuable experience and universities and
25 future employer will be impressed by any voluntary work you have done.

1. 1 1
Culture is the totality of learned and socially transmitted behaviors. It is shared and 0 0
practicing in all societies of the world.
Basic Elements of culture includes ideas, beliefs, values, customs which make it a
whole configuration. Culture is transmitted form one generation to another. Each culture
has some basic elements. These elements are language, symbols, norms, values, beliefs.
They are important for our life because without these elements we could not survive as
a nation. For example language is a source of communication and to transmit message
from one person to another. Language differs from culture to culture and is transmitted
from one generation to another. Without these cultural element we just could not live
together. The same idea we can use for the rest of cultural elements. They are like the
heart of our nation. Firstly, characterizes us as a nation. Secondly, these elements are
our past, present and our future. My last arguments is that , by forgetting these elements,
or make fun of it will represent our attitude for our friends , family and ones we love.
As can be senn, cultural elements are very important for our life, so take care of them.
