There was homework to do, sports to play and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round. I then progressed to a Saturday job in a supermarket.Today in the UK children are allowed to take part-time jobs from the age of 13. Its one of those things that is seen almost as a rite of passage（成人仪式）. Its a taste of independence. Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing your money.Some research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday job could be harmful to a person later on. According to a 2017 study in the UK, employers organizations believed that not participating in part-time work at school age caused young adults to be ill-prepared for full-time employment. But despite this, recent numbers have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.So, does this mean that British teenagers are now more afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts think that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam resultsand a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that “Properly controlled part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality, its all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13-year-old girl, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because Im earning money and it helps my confidence speaking to people and socializing with people.” Did you do a part-time job when you were at school?25.Employers believe if young adults dont participate in part-time work at school age, _.A. they cant work on their ownB. they cant manage their money wiselyC. they wont be well-prepared for the jobD. they wont know how to work with others26.According to some experts, _ has caused fewer schoolchildren to do a par-time job in the past years.A. more time to rest
