Students' Part-time Jobs
There are many advantages for a student to have a part-time job. For instance, it helps him to realize that no success comes from nothing. It enables him to be independent and builds up his self-confidence. Therefore, part-time jobs can get the students out of the ivory tower and give them the opportunity to know more of himself and of his personal value in society.
As everything has two sides, the disadvantages can't be ignored. First, part-time jobs shorten students' study time. Second, some even become so preoccupied with making money that they can't focus their attention on studying. In the end, the students may fall behind or fail in their studies.
Personally, I believe students can choose to take up a job according to their own situation. The most important thing is for him to keep a good balance, put his study on top of the list and assign an adequate amount of time to it. (158 words)

學(xué)生的兼職工作
對(duì)于學(xué)生而言，兼職工作有很多好處。例如，它能夠使學(xué)生認(rèn)識(shí)到，沒(méi)有付出就沒(méi)有收獲。這使他能夠獨(dú)立，樹(shù)立自信心。因此，兼職工作能夠讓學(xué)生們走出象牙塔，使他們有機(jī)會(huì)更多地了解自己及個(gè)人在社會(huì)中的價(jià)值。
由于事物都具有兩面性，兼職工作的缺點(diǎn)亦不容忽視。首先，兼職工作縮短了學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間。其次，一些學(xué)生全身心投入到賺錢(qián)當(dāng)中，這樣便無(wú)法將注意力集中在學(xué)習(xí)上。最后，學(xué)生可能會(huì)落后他人，甚至荒廢學(xué)業(yè)。
就個(gè)人而言，我相信學(xué)生可按自身?xiàng)l件決定是否選擇兼職。最重要的一點(diǎn)是，保持一個(gè)良好的平衡狀態(tài)，將學(xué)業(yè)放在首位，安排足夠的時(shí)間用于學(xué)習(xí)。
