More than 80% of American high school students do part-time jobs in the evening on weekends or
in summers. These part-time jobs bring teenagers great advantages.
One of the benefits of the work is the students can learn the skills that will be useful for the rest of
their lives. When the students work, they have to manage both the job and schoolwork. To be able to do
so, they must be very organized and able to keep a sensible schedule. They also leam to cope with the job
stress apart from the stress of the schoolwork. Some of the most stressful jobs include teaching, nursing,
and police work. These skills help prepare teenagers for their later careers. High school students who
work are more likely to succeed as adults than people who enter the job market at a later age with no
work experience.
Teenagers want a lot of expensive things: clothes, mp3 players, smartphones, etc. Not all parents
can afford them. And even if they can, the teens might not really appreciate that money because they did

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions.
While smaller schools class sizes are always desired, technology can not do that physically.
However, technology can be a "force multiplier" for the teacher. Instead of the teacher being the only
source of help in a classroom, students can access web sites, online tutorials, and more to assist them.
Education doesn't stop at the end of the school day because students have access to teachers, resources,
and assignments via the web and access these resources at any time. Students can also get help and
tutoring at any time, whether from the teacher via email or online collaboration, or from a help web site.
Parental involvement is another factor that can increase student achievement. Most parents these
days have extremely busy schedules, work different hours, and can't always help their child with
homework or come to school for conferences. Technology can help. Parents can go to a class website and
see what their child is working on, they can contact teachers via email and web sites, and they can even
check their child's attendance and grades through online systems. They can also talk to their children from
work via email and instant messaging.
