Hello Teacher
ReplyDeleteI think that with my skills I could work packing customer purchases in supermarkets. On the other hand, I think that my parents would give me permission to do so, since they trust me. I think that the biggest profit they think about is money, since you always want to have a little money for yourself and be able to spend it on things that you want and would be hard-earned money. Lastly, I think that if it would be beneficial, because I personally consider myself a compulsive shopper and that I usually spend money buying clothes, therefore working part-time, I would earn my own money and could spend or save it, since I also like it.

Hello Teacher
ReplyDeleteTo begin with, I find that I am fit to work part time, because I have discussed this topic with my parents and they both agree and a job that I could do now would be to pack all the money I earn in that job it would be with effort in addition to I like to have my own money because as a child I have been super independent and I do not like spending money on my parents, I think that the jobs are very good because it helps teenagers to be independent, they also have their money to spend on what they want clothes, food, etc.

Hello Teacher
ReplyDeleteI think that with my current set of skills, the right job for me would be a part-time janitor, though I don’t currently want to get a job. Me and my parents prefer that I focus on my studies, which is my current reason for not searching for a job.
The most likely reason someone would get a part time job, is probably for the cash, which is not a bad thing at all, if done for the purpose of covering the expense of a higher education, it is a very diligent thing to do, though I personally do not have this need right now, as I wish to get a scholarship or use my college fund.

ReplyDeleteHello Teacher
ReplyDeleteI think that a good part-time work for me would be waiter or janitor, the first one just doesn’t sound bad and not requires much effort and the second one fits more with me because I like to clean my home and that's a relaxing activity. My parents have different opinions about this, probably my father could allow me to have a part-time jobs but my mother would not agree with him, honestly I just have the idea of finishing the school and enter to the navy and since the 2° year they start paying me a little of money so that would be beneficiary for me, lastly I think that teens like the idea of get money by their own hands because that money would be just for them and by they own effort, so they can expend it as they want.

Hello Teacher:
ReplyDeleteHope you ok, I think I could work at a retail maybe, I got patience with people and I think it could be a good work to me. I talked with my parents days ago and they told me that it would be great if I get a part-time job because I´d weigh my priorities and learn to deal with money.
People of my age around me must think they would boost their confidence with a part-time job and probably it would be good for an introductory experience to adult life.
To get a part-time job it would be beneficial to me, because it is important to me blame with my own things and not ask everything to my parents, lastly learn to deal with money and have hard-earn money and not to spent the money in unnecessary things .
Kind regards

Hello Teacher
ReplyDeleteTo begin with I think that with my skills I could work as babysitter, to sum up, I spend a lot of time taking care of my little brother so I think I have the responsibility to take care of kids. My parents disagreed if I want to work because they think if I have money, I leave school. I have to boost confidence with them.
The teens in my country usually have part-time jobs because they want money to buy clothes, get outside or some things like that but some of them need the money for instance to help in their homes and they have to weigh priorities and usually they appreciate a lot the hard-earned money.
Lastly, I think i´d be beneficial for me because I would have introductory experience and would not ask my parents for money.

Hello Teacher
ReplyDeleteFor starters, I think I could work selling modified clothing, for example, currently I have a clothing store on Instagram and I like that marketing area and people are always looking for innovative things.
My parents agree that I do these jobs part-time as they help me to be more responsible and earn hard earned money.
Teenagers in our country have part-time jobs so they can have their own money to go out with friends, buy their own things, etc. Sometimes they also do it because they need to contribute at home and have important priorities.
Finally, I think it would be beneficial for me because it would be an introductory experience and I would gain a lot more confidence with my parents, to summarize, it is a great way to start having your own income.

Hello Teacher
ReplyDeleteTo begin with, I feel like I'd fit for an assistant job of some sort, because I like helping others with their hard work. Sadly, I don't think my parents would agree on me getting a part-time job during a school year, as they want me to focus the most on it.
Teens who apply for part-time jobs mostly do it to get some extra money, either for their studies or something unrelated they wish to buy, for instance, a game or a gift. Honestly, I'm no different, so I feel like it'd help with an income.

I think I could work part time in a clothing store since I can talk to people and I have patience. No, since according to them he would have to weigh priorities and choose the job. The main ones I think is hard-earned money and boost confidence, as this will give them a lot of introductory experience for the jobs you get after school. I think if I could learn to organize money and time for myself to begin with, lastly it would also help my parents have less expenses. To sum up part-time work can help teens in different ways.

Hello Teacher
ReplyDeleteTo begin wit, a part time job for me would be in a library, at a supermarked or work at fast food stalls (Doggis, Burger king, etc...),the safest thing is that my parents will let me work at this age, since I could start to be independent, build confidence, and earn money with my own effort. I think that at this age it would be very good to work, since you can earn extra money, you could also contribute money to the house.For me it would be very beneficial because I could buy my things with my money and when I go out with my friends I will not have the need to ask for my parents for money.
Kind regards,

Hello Teacher!
ReplyDeleteI would like to work as a babysitter, I`ve had a lot opportunities to keep an eye on kids and I know the responsibility that should be taken, along with all the care and attentions, I believe that my parents would allow me to work part-time, as long as I don't neglect school. One of the main benefits would be learning to be much more responsible, gaining experience and help in this process that we are living to transform in adults.
I think if there's an interest in today's teenagers, maybe some would like to help their parents, buy something that's very expensive and they don't want to ask their parents, among other things.
Lastly,I think if it would be beneficial for me, because it somehow allows you to grow as a person and be a little closer to what adult life is like.
Kind regards

Hello teacher.
ReplyDeleteTo begin with, I think that the best part-time job for me and my skills would be to grow plants and then sell them to my parents if I would allow myself to work partially so that when I go out I won't ask them for money and thus get used to the working world the benefits of working in this way, I will be able to have my own money and have much more confidence with the world of work and so that afterwards it will not be so difficult to enter it and have a little experience and this will serve me for my future.
Kind regards

Hello Teacher
ReplyDeleteI think that with the skills I have I could do additional math and swimming classes, because I like to explain things to my classmates. I have talked about this with my parents and we are agreed that a part-time job would bring me closer to working life and would help me get any adult responsibility, without left my studies. From my point of view, I think that the teenagers looking for a partial job to get money and feel independent. Now how they use it is not my business.

Well, I would do music jobs, I could teach too much with my music skills and I could earn money with effort. My parents would accept since it would serve to contribute money to the house or money to buy things for me. I think the most likely or beneficial reason for someone to take a part-time job would be to have money and thus buy things or help pay for college or pre-college. It is very beneficial if you want to do it for good purposes, as I said before paying for college.

Hello teacher,
ReplyDeleteTo begin with, my parents wouldn't let me work because weighing priorities, for them, gain money isn’t a priority for me now, but I would like to have a part-time job because that would give me quite a bit of benefit as a teenager, for example, boost confidence and giving me a sense of work and more responsibility. In addition, I think where I would like to aply according to my abilities would be attending a small store or a library to order books or help with the programs on the computers, those are pretty simple jobs and would not stress me out too much, but as an introductory experience I would like to be able to work as a packer in the supermarkets and try out the hard-earned money. Lastly, in Chile making money this age is like the main reason we apply for a part-time job.

Hello teacher,
ReplyDeleteTo begin with I think that with my skills I could teach english to people younger than me (while still learning) because I'm very patient with kids and I really like teaching.
If I want to work, my parents would disagree because they say that I must focus on my studies and I have to weigh priorities.
The teens in my country usually have part-time jobs because they want money without asking to their parents for it.
Lastly I think I´d be beneficial for me because it would help to my introductory experience, for boosting confidence and apreciatte the hard-earned money.
Kind regards,

Hello Teacher.
ReplyDeleteTo begin with, I think the best part-time job for me would be to babysitter because I have experience caring for the youngest members of my family, and I also have patience with children and I find it fun to be with them. My mother would give me permission as long as it does not affect my efficiency in my studies, it would also help me to be more independent. I believe that the main benefits sought are to increase confidence and hard-earned money as they would help in the future when looking for a job. Lastly, it would be beneficial for me to teach myself to use money responsibly, to be able to organize my activities and help my mother with expenses. To sum up, a partime job would help many teenagers in many areas.

Hello teacher
ReplyDeleteIt’s easy to me relate with people, I have patience and I'm good at adapting, therefore a part-time job related to the attention of the public, as a waitress, assistant of a store or minimarket, will be well for me. But I don’t close my mind to other options.
My parents are quite apprehensive with me; they don’t trust on the environment. Probably, they’ll not let me work if the workday is late and less if it’s a place far away, but if it were a place that they know and frequent, it could be an option.
In my opinion, the people in a several times will work just to get money, more if that is a part time job. For another side, I think that a lot of teenager try to find I little bit independence of their parent’s or the person who take care of them.
Lastly like most things, part-time jobs can bring good and bad things, if I don't have the discipline to organize myself, part-time work will probably be inconvenient for me and my studies. On the other hand, if I'm under pressure for having a time limit, maybe I could focus on the things that will make a real contribution to my life in general and of course get my hard-earned money.
Kind Regards

Hi Teacher.
ReplyDeleteAnswering tour first question I think the ideal part-time job for me is pack object, food and other elements indoor of supermarket, because is a job for turns appropriate for the school and help me with don´t interim in my studies.
Regarding the second question in my opinion my father I would say yes and would let me work without neglecting my studies, but my mom I asked him and she said yes but just in vacations, because my only concern is study.
The possible benefits are having some independence because if I work I can take care of my expenses such as buying something I want and maybe my parents can´t buy it for me or when I want to go out I won´t have to ask my parents for money. Another benefit is that I can get to work and get a little experience.
King Regards.

Hi teacher, I hope you are well. I think that a good part-time work for me would be a supermarket packer or shop assistant. Both sound good to me and I could get used to either. The time and the place where it would be so that they would give me some permission would depend on the permission. In addition, I think that young people look for part-time jobs in order to earn money and spend it on personal things, for example clothing, accessories, games, etc., and increase confidence in the workplace. Until now I do not need it but I would like to try one with one to be able to be somewhat more independent, anyway it is something beneficial for the pocket and the social.

I think a part-time job for me would be a supermarket packer, I think it would be easy for me. I think my parents would allow me to work part time, depending on the time and place, for example, if it is too far, they would not let me. I think young people are looking for part-time jobs to earn money and spend it on what they want, like clothes. In addition, I personally believe that students also look for these jobs to contribute a little more money to their parents and thus help them financially. Finally, obviously it would be very beneficial for me since it would help me to be more independent, and I could have my own money.
ReplyDeleteRegards.

Hi Teacher.
ReplyDeleteFor starters, a part job for me would think about being a delivery man, since I'm good at guiding me, also because it's a job that I'm constantly on the move.
My parents would not agree, as I must concentrate on studies, I believe that the teenagers in my country have an interest in working, as they would not like to rely on their parents' money.
Finally, and to summarize, I think it would be very beneficial for me to work partially, as I would feel more independent and make money with my own effort.
Kind Regards.

Hi teacher
ReplyDelete-Professor I thinking about my daily life I would say that I am layers of many things (like everyone) but for when I am older I don't know what part-time job I could have. but now that I think about it I would like to work as a food vendor and among other foods
-I would make the deliveries and I would charge more for the shipment (tip).
I think it would go very well, because my family loves to order food at home
-the name of my mini complete station would be * delicious *
-but as I said before it would only be for a while
then I would get a real job. because I know that I am capable of doing more than a food stand
Hello Teacher
ReplyDeleteTo begin with, a partial job for me as a packer in a supermarket or in a volunteer work, my parents would not like me to work to give me only in my studies, I believe that youth in my country and at this stage are more mentally prepared so that they can be more independent and have a greater responsibility that is a job.
Lastly and to sump up I think it would be beneficial for me to have a job, since boots confidence when it comes to work and more introductory experience when applying for a job.
Kind Regards.
