Students Should Be Encouraged to Take Part-time Jobs

More and more college students are taking part-time jobs. Some people argue that part-time jobs take up too much time that students have no time to focus on their studies, whereas others think that doing part-time jobs should be encouraged in that students can get rich experience from the jobs. As far as I concern, I think we should encourage students to do part-time jobs for the following reasons.
越來越多的大學生去外面兼職。一些人認為兼職占用了學生太多的學習時間；另一些則認為應該鼓勵學生去兼職，因為他們能夠從中獲取豐富的經驗。就我看來，我們應該鼓勵學生出去兼職，原因如下：

First of all, part-time job experience provides the opportunities for students to know about what jobs are really like and enhance their personal abilities. What’s more, such experience can help them be prepared psychologically for their future jobs. Second, the part-time jobs can enrich students’ daily life activities and help them to make more friends. If one has friends from different fields, these friends will help him with his personal development in the future. Third, taking part-time jobs can reduce the financial pressure. Many college students still ask their parents for money. This can be a heavy burden to some families. But if the students can do some part-time jobs and make money on their own, the family pressure can be relieved to some extent. Last but not least, part-time jobs can help students to find out their strengths and shortcomings. When they overcome the difficulties, they will become more confidence.
首先，兼職能提供機會讓學生們了解工作到底是怎么一回事，提高個人能力。其次，兼職也能讓他們對未來的工作做好心理準備。第二，兼職能夠豐富學生們的課余生活，幫助他們結識更多的朋友。如果一個人有不同領域的朋友，那么，這些朋友會在他未來的個人發展中幫助他們。第三，做兼職能夠減輕經濟壓力。許多大學生還在問家里面要生活費。對于某些家庭來說，這也許是個很沉重的負擔。但如果大學生能出去做兼職，自己掙錢，家庭的經濟壓力就能有所緩解了。最后一點，兼職能幫助大學生們找到自己的優缺點。當他們克服困難時，就會變得更加自信。

To sum up, doing part-time jobs has more advantages than disadvantages. The students can not live in the ivory tower forever. They will meet the challenges from this cruel world sooner or later. And doing part-time job is the first step to walk in this society.
總的來說，兼職利大于弊。學生不能永遠活在自己的象牙塔里面。他們遲早都要面對來自外面殘酷世界的挑戰。而兼職，則是踏入這個社會的第一步。
