Working teenagers

(this was taken from last year booklet if all three modules. Unseen number 8.)

All over the world teenagers work in all kind(s) of jobs, cleaning, serving (or) selling, and even selling lemonade in the streets. Teenagers work during school and after school, but what is a better choice? Does it make difference on our studying(phr.), our social life(gr. - lives) or maybe even our maturation(ww. - you mean: maturity)?

.

But first, we need to find out what is it (that) really that(מיותר) attracts so many students to work? Maybe it is the benefit of earning money and the ability to do with the money whatever we want, without anyone telling us whether it is alright or not. Or maybe it is the freedom that we feel when we have our own job and act all(ww. - like) grownups all the(ww. - of a) sudden? But whatever it is, everything can be summed up by one word - independence.

.

I believe that a job evolve(ww.+gr.) in us all(מיותר) responsibility, maturity and independence,(New sentence) it helps us make the right decisions and gives us a pick(ww.) into the grownups' world, which we will be part of him(מיותר). Will a job duration(ww.) school really help us and show us how to deal and be part of this new and scary grownup world? I don't think so, but I do believe that we will enter the adult world with less fear, more knowledge and definitely a smile on our face. - The last part is not clear.

To sum up, I really believe that a job can help us be more independence(ww.) in our lives. It can also make us more mature and responsible. I believe that everyone who can, and wants to have a job while being a student, should have one.

Not bad.

the qualities of a friend.

We have lots of friend(s) in all different positions of proximity. We have friends just to sit with at schools, we have friends just to hang out (in the) afternoon, and we have friend(s) to talk about everything and which(ww. - whom) we feel safe with. I believe that the most important qualities in a best-friend should be sensitivity, honesty and faithfulness.

.

First, a friend should be sensitive. He should try to understand your moods and know how to act and whether you are sad, angry, or tired without you telling him. A sensitive friend wouldn't jump of joy when you are sad. I also believe that another important quality is honesty. Everyone needs to know that their friend won't lie to him, and that he can trust him. A friend should know to tell us the truth no matter what happens and even if he believes it's(ww. - it is) not for the best.

/

I think that the most important quality is faithfulness. We need to know that we can trust our friend. We need to know that our friend won't go scatter a secret you (have) just told him. If a friend will tell(gr.) your secrets and betray you for (an)other friend, you know you can't trust him. If you can’t trust him you will not tell him you(r) secrets, or hang with him, you will not be able to talk to him without being afraid that he will embarrass you. And if you can’t trust your friend…what kind of friend is he?

.

These qualities, sensitivity, honesty (and) faithfulness, are important to keep us with(phr.) our friends. All these qualities help us and our friends stay friends(phr.). Without these qualities the bonding will be lost and so is our friend(phr.).

Good work.
