> Plan:
> 
> Topic - community service for all teenagers
> 
> Answer - 3 chocie: agree/disagree/or balanced opinion(when possible)
> 
> It is sometimes argued that high school students should be made to do some work in their local communities. **In my opinion**, it woud be wrong to force tennagers to do any kind of unsalaried work.
> 
> There are several reasons why i would argue against having compulsory community service for secondary school students. **Firstly**, the school curriculum is already full with important academic subjcect. such as maths, science and languages. **For example**, I remember having an extremely busy timetable when i was at high school. and it would not have possible to add to it. **Secodly**, students’ performance in other subjects would be affected if valuable study time were taken by charity work or neighbourhood improvement scheme. **Finally**, i believe that tennage students would be reluctant to take part in any programme of obligatory work, and this could lead to poor motivation and even bad behaviour.

> **Oh the other hand**, the opportunity to do voluntary community service could be extremely positive for high school students. By making these programmes optional, schools would ensure that only motivated students took part. There young people would gain valuable experience in an audlt working environment. which could help to build their self confidence and enhance their skills. Having such experience and skills on their CVs could greatly imporve school leavers’ career prospects. For example, a period of voluntary work experience might impress a university admission officer or a future employer.

> In conclusion, I don’t support any organazations to force teenagers to do any kind of unpaid job as part of their high school journey.
