【正确答案】
【答案解析】Candidate A:
From the picture we can see the student is so tired from his part-time jobs that he is now sleeping in class. Nowadays more and more students in college like to take part-time jobs. Some want to help their parents financially by working in their spare time while others want to test and train their practical ability and earn some pocket money at the same time.
Candidate B:
That"s true. With this money, they can buy books, reference materials and daily necessities. They can have better conditions for their life and study without any burden on their parents.
Candidate A:
I quite agree with you on that point. However, if not handled properly, a part-time job will take too much of one"s time and energy, and consequently affect his health and study. If a student can"t study well, he will learn very little in college, and his four-year study will turn out to be a dismal failure. That would not be the result people expect to see. We should bear in mind that time in college is really precious, and the knowledge we learn in school can help us go far in the future. We should be far-sighted and not be driven by small profits which will exhaust our whole time and energy. So a student should think and weigh carefully before taking a part-time job.
Candidate B:
I know what you mean. But what I consider more is that a part-time job can teach students something about real life, which they can"t learn from books. It can help students become more independent of their families, provide them with a good opportunity to learn about society and gain some social experience. Besides, it is a chance to apply the knowledge they have acquired in class to practice. Through the practice they will come to know what kind of knowledge and ability will be necessary and what kind of jobs will be most suitable for each of them upon graduation. This will motivate them to study harder.
