Задание 19 Юнит 11 ГДЗ Вербицкая Forward 7 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Вербицкая, Гаярделли, Редли 7 класс, Вентана-Граф: 19 Read the article from The RAR What is the topic of the article? Why is it entitled “Too young to start?”
By Dasha Sedova
In many western countries, Great Britain, the United States of America, Australia and others, when teenagers are around 16 years old, they start doing some part-time jobs. They get jobs to have extra spending money, or pocket money. With this money, they pay for their entertainment or mobile phones, save money for clothes or college or help out their families. In some families teenagers do not have to earn extra money — their parents give them pocket money or pay them for doing some house jobs. But it is becoming less and less common.
Here in Russia the situation is different. First of all, strict laws make it hard to employ teenagers. Secondly, education is the top priority for most children and their parents. Parents want their children to concentrate on their school studies to be able to go to university. In some families kids get extra pocket money for good marks at school. It is very rare that teenagers get money for doing house chores.
While some teenagers in Russia do work part-time, I’d have to say that the percentage is much lower than in the US, though it seems to be increasing. The types of jobs are varied, just like anywhere else. They might work in a shop, work for family or friends, hand out fliers on the street, work in a fast food restaurant, well, as I said, there are many … Girls also may babysit or do housekeeping, some work at toy stores or other types of shops, but those are mostly college or university students.
I consider part-time jobs to be very important. Teens become more responsible at home and school because of the values that they learn at their jobs. Jobs can teach teens such important values and skills as responsibility, teamwork, time management and discipline. They will be more prepared for university, too, where they may have to balance work, studies and activities.

Ответ

1. Yes, I agree. In Russia many teenagers get pocket money from their parents, and it is less common to earn it by working.
2. The main difference is that in America many teenagers start part-time jobs at about 16, while in Russia school and strict laws make teen jobs less common.
3. My friends and I usually get pocket money every week. It is not a lot, but enough for small expenses.
4. We have to help at home, get good marks at school, or do small chores to earn pocket money.
5. I spend my pocket money on snacks, school things, mobile phone credit, and sometimes on entertainment.
6. Yes, I would like to get a part-time job. I would like to work in a shop or help in a café.
7. Dasha thinks Russian teens are not too young to work, because part-time jobs are “very important” and teach responsibility, teamwork, time management and discipline.
8. My answer is that teenagers can work part-time if it does not harm their studies and if the job is suitable for their age.
