In many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as completely wrong, while others consider it as valuable work experience, important for learning and taking responsibility. What are your opinions on this? You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence. 个人层次 For: 反面背景，如：浪费父母血汗钱 + 正面论证，如 ：减轻家庭负担，树立劳动意识，知道钱之来之不易 ，获取工作经验。 At present, there is a tendency that children tend to lavish money, particularly those from wealthy families. Engaging in some kind of paid work can lighten the economic burden of family, especially some poor families, establish the correct recognition of work and understand their parents more. Moreover, children can collect valuable work experience which is essential for their future careers. 个人层次 Against: 浪费本该用来学习的时间，容易沾染社会不 良风气，投入多，产出少。 Engaging in paid work, children waste precious time which should be spent on academic study. After all, in different life stages people have different tasks to fulfill. At the same time, it is easier for them to go astray under the influence of bad social circumstances. In addition, because children have not acquired high-value skills yet, what they can do is usually exhausting, but low-pay manual work. So it is not difficult to make a judgment that the output is far outweighed by the input. time 电子游戏是个耗时的爱好，占用了学生 宝贵的时间。 Playing computer games is a time- consuming hobby that occupies (take up) students precious (valuable) time. 电子游戏太诱人了，以至于许多孩子沉 迷其中不能自拔。 Computer games are so alluring ( tempting ) that many children abandon themselves to playing them. 上瘾，沉湎于 Be addicted to Be obsessed with Wallow in Revel in Indulge in 有些小孩缺乏自控和自律能力，整天沉 迷于网络游戏和网上聊天。 Some children lack adequate ( enough ，sufficient ) self-control and self- discipline, so that they revel in online games and chatting all day. 为了兼职赚钱，有些学生甚至逃课，严 重影响学业。 In order to earn money by taking a part-time job, many students even skip classes ( play truant ) and hence their academic performance is seriously affected ( influenced ). 我们不鼓励小孩养宠物，因为它是个费 时的爱好，容易使他们偏离学习的正规 。 Children are not encouraged to keep pets because pet-raising is a time- consuming hobby and children are likely ( unlikely ) to be diverted from their study. 程度副词 Absolutely Definitely Undoubtedly Certainly Surely Probably Possibly偏离 Be distracted to Be detracted to Be induced to Be enticed to 沉迷网络的人往往过着一种懒散的生活 。 Those who wallow in the Internet tend to lead a lazy ( indolent ) life. 电视有助于人们打发时间，驱除孤独。 TV helps people to kill time ( pass time, timefiller ) and drive off the loneliness ( solitude ). 写作练习 C 4/T 2/T 2 Write about the following topics: Happiness is considered very important in life.
