     For many American teenagers, having a part-time job is an important part of growing up. A part-time job
can teach teenagers important skills like responsibility (责任), independence (独立),teamwork and leadership.
     Young people can expand (扩大) their social circles beyond their classmates by making friends with
co-workers. And many teenagers find that earning their own money gives them a sense of pride and freedom.
     The US Department of Labor allows teenagers to apply for jobs at the age of 14. Popular part-time jobs
include working in ice cream stores, coffee shops, and clothing stores. During the school year, teenagers may
go to work a few times a week after their classes get out, then work for longer on the weekends.
     In the summer, top jobs for teens include working at camps, swimming pools and amusement parks. These
jobs are great for young people who want to be active and have fun while making money.
      A favorite job for many teens is babysitting (临时替人看小孩), and they can start before 14 if the parents
agree. After the children are sleeping and before the parents come home, babysitters have lots of freedom. As
long as they stay in the house and make sure the kids are okay, babysitters can do their homework, enjoy a
snack, watch TV, or talk on the phone with friends.
     It can be stressful to balance school, homework, and a part-time job. Still, many American teenagers value
their work experience and the skills they gain on the job.

     Some students are talking about: Should the children of migrant workers (农民工) study in the cities
or in their hometowns? Here are their opinions.
Speaker Opinions
In the cities
Kangkang      The children of migrant workers could get better educations in the cities. The
teachers and schools are better there. They could live with their parents, too.
Li Ming      Children should live with their parents. Parents can look after them well. The
children of migrant workers may feel lonely if they stay in their hometowns. They
may not go to school.
Wang Tao      Studying in a city doesn't only mean getting a better education, it means having
much more chances in the city than in their hometowns. The kids see lots of things
they wouldn't be able to see in their hometowns.
In their hometowns
Lingling

     It's easy for children to go to school in their hometowns. In the city, things are
much more difficult. First, there are so few schools for the children of migrant
workers. Second, their parents may have to change jobs often. This means the kids
may have to change schools a lot too.

Han Mei      The children of migrant workers may find it hard to adapt (适应) to life in the city.
In city school, they may get bullied (被欺负). Also, these children may fall behind
because of the different levels (水平) of education.

add to the burdens (负担) of the parents.
