Writing Task 2: Responding to Survey Questions
Read the following information.
Your university is conducting survey to know how many work hours should be permitted to students in a week time. The University has sent out an opinion survey to see what students think about it.
Weekly working hours for Students :
Option A: Less than 15 hours per week in a single job.
Option B: More than 20 hours per week with all multiple jobs hours added.
To Whom it may concern. In my opinion, students should be allowed less than 15 hours per week in a single job. Even though working for longer duration may help them earn and payout their student loans earlier, this will have a long term adverse effect on their future. Firstly, working for longer durations will divert their focus from studies. At university, students are at a crucial stage of their life. Their future depends upon how much they gain and how well they perform. Hence, the students should be encouraged to concentrate on studies rather than the earnings. In addition to this, having a pocket full of money at this early stage may drag the adolescents into bad habits like smoking, drinking and drugs. These attracting and vibrant looking habits may sink them so deep that it becomes difficult for them to get out of it for the entire life. Considering the above reasons, I think students should only be allowed to work for a maximum of 15 hours per week. Once they pass out from college, they will have ample time to work and earn their livelihood. Regards Tony.
