Open Ended

Do you think it’s important to acquire new skills? Why? or Why not?

WORKING AND STUDYING

PROS AND CONS

Some people say that young people can’t work and study at the same time. It is the most difficult thing to do. In my opinion, this is not true. An adult needs to get some job experience at an early age to function in the 21st century. They could start with a part- time job in a store or as trainees in a small company.

On the other hand, studying requires some practical skills. For example, managing your time and being responsible. So, if you want to survive in the new millennium and be the best in your field, you need to work and study at the same time.

Read the paragraph again and underline one phrase for:

A) giving examples

 

B) giving an opinion

 

C) giving a contrasting point of view
