Unit 6 Earn as you learn?

Section A

6-2 Text A: To work or not to work u2013 That is the question

Pre-reading activities

Pre-reading activities-1

1) A teaching assistant in kindergarten or a tutor

2) A cashier in a store

3) A waiter in a restaurant

4) A car cleaner

1) I would like to work as a teaching assistant in kindergarten. I

really enjoy spending time with small children and I am thinking

of working as a teacher in kindergarten in the future. So

working as a teaching assistant would definitely be a great

experience for me.

I would like to work in a company, whether big or small,

because in the future I plan to establish my own business.

Working part-time in a company would give me some idea of

what it is like to work in a company, how a company is run, and

what job a boss should do.

Reading comprehension

Reading comprehension-1

1) To measure the impact of employment on student

achievement.

2) According to the research, a heavy commitment to part-time

work undermines and significantly interferes with school

achievement and commitment.

3) About 10 hours per week or less.

4) Students become interested in study again.

5) Students may take easier classes, copy others' assignments,

cut class, or refuse to do assignments, and over time, students'

commitment to school is eroded bit by bit.

6) Students may find school less rewarding and interesting, and

it is highly possible that those who have been working long

hours will drop out of school before graduation.

7) Because teenagers working long hours frequently have more

money to spend than their peers, and they often become used

to spending their earnings on drugs and alcohol.

8) Doing part-time jobs while studying is acceptable, but

students should work no more than 10 hours a week if they

want to be successful in school.

Reading comprehension-2

1) Yes, I think early employment can definitely build character

because besides study, you have to fit yourself into the working

environment. You can learn interpersonal skills, social

responsibility and professional ethics in a working setting.

Moreover, you have to try hard to strike a balance between

work, study, and play. In this way, you will develop a strong

sense of responsibility and boost your self-confidence.

No, not necessarily. Though early employment may help

students to gain some work experience, it is not necessarily

helpful in building their character. Because they have to spend

quite a lot of time working and may become less responsible or

less committed to their study. Too much work may also lead to

alcohol and drug abuse. So, in some cases, early employment

undermines character-building rather than help it.

2) Yes, I agree. Students have so many academic tasks to

complete in college that they hardly have any extra time for

work. If they work, they will certainly have to spend less time

and energy on study, which is likely to depress their school

performance. I see many working students around me sleep in

class, skip class, or copy others' assignments. If they cannot be

responsible students when they should be, how could they

become responsible people after graduation? So, I think

students should take study as their main task instead of doing

part-time jobs.

No, I don't agree. College students should prepare themselves

for future careers, so they need not only to perform well

academically but also develop other skills because surviving in

society requires more than book knowledge. Working part-time

can expose students to the real world and help them acquire

basic interpersonal skills. Besides, by earning money to pay for

their study, college students can learn how to manage their

money and become less dependent on their parents.

3) Yes, I agree with the author that working while studying has

many negative impacts on students, such as not getting enough

rest, decreased school performance, abuse of drugs and alcohol.

As one's time and energy are limited, working, even part-time,

will affect one's study. Therefore, students should take study

seriously and it is critical not to work long hours while studying

at college.

No, I don't think there are so many negative impacts of working

while studying as mentioned by the author. I have many

classmates who are working part-time to cover their tuition.

Most of them are responsible students as they want to share

the financial burden with their parents. They also study very

hard for scholarships. At the same time, they try to make full

use of their working time. Some of them work with their

professors in the lab, so their work does not interfere with their

study. In fact, working may benefit their study because they can

apply what is learned in class in practice.

4) Yes, I think part-time jobs may help build a sense of

responsibility, which in turn may enhance students' school

performance. Because if you take part-time jobs while studying,

you have to follow the work ethics, observe the working

schedule, work up to expectations, contribute to teamwork,

and balance work and study. All these will help you to multitask,

to be more efficient, to cultivate a sense of responsibility, and

to enhance your school performance.

No, I don't think part-time jobs help to build a sense of

responsibility, not to mention enhancing students' school

performance because students who take part-time work,

especially those who work long hours, have to strike a balance

between work and study. To meet the demanding working

schedule, more often than not, they have to cut corners, for

example, by devoting less time to study or ignoring homework.

Moreover, they may spend more on entertainment and luxury

goods as they have more spending money. Students who work

long hours usually fail to meet the academic requirements and

have no clear plan for career development.

5) Part-time employment provides a good opportunity for

students to learn many other things other than book

knowledge. It has many positive influences:

building a sense of responsibility as you have to accomplish

your tasks;

building self-discipline as you have to manage your time well

and rely on yourself;

gaining social skills and work experience as you interact with

people outside the classroom;

broadening your vision as you learn about the workplace and

society;

having more employment opportunities as you gain work

experience in preparation for your future career.

参考：There are several reasons why people get fired from their

jobs. First, people may lose their jobs if they have some

dishonest behaviors, such as cheating in their job applications

or telling lies in work. Second, employees may be fired due to

poor attendance. No boss likes an employee who is often late

for or absent from work. Third, people having difficulty getting

along with their co-workers are also likely to be fired because

they may cause conflicts in the workplace. Therefore, to be a

good employee, it is important to be honest, punctual, and

cooperative.

参考：间隔年指的是学生休假不去上学而去旅游或工作等的一段时间，但不一定是一年。间隔年通常选在高中毕业和进入大学之前的一段时间。在这段时间里，学生可以旅游、参加志愿者工作或者在国外边打工边度假。一种新潮流是参加集语言学习、住家、文化交流、社区服务和自主学习于一体的国际教育活动。间隔年的做法于20世纪60年代兴起于英国。它在英国、澳大利亚、新西兰和加拿大已经变得非常流

行。但是在美国，间隔年的做法仍然只是个别现象。不过近年来，间隔年对美国人来说变得稍微普遍起来。2013年有大约四万美国学生参加了间隔年活动，比2006年增加了近20%。普林斯顿大学、哈佛大学、麻省理工学院等大学都有明文规定允许学生延迟入学。

参考：Since its economic reform and opening-up to the world,

China's education has gone through rapid development and

made remarkable achievements. The Chinese government gives

top priority to the development of education, persists in

revitalizing the country by science and education, and fully

advocates quality-oriented education. Meanwhile, it actively

promotes equality in education to guarantee everyone access

to education. China's achievements in education can be

reflected in two different layers: One is the popularization of

the nine-year compulsory education; the other is the realization

of mass higher education. The development of education has

made significant contributions to China's economic

development and social progress. In recent years, to satisfy the

needs of social and economic development, the Chinese

government has sped up the training of qualified personnel

urgently needed in various fields.

Section B

6-6 Reading skills

Practice

1) As the cost of attending university has soared over the last

two decades, a frank and vigorous debate is emerging over who

should pay for the cost of higher education. While in some

countries students have always been expected to absorb part or

even all of their tuition costs through work or borrowing, in

other countries the tremendous cost of attending university has

been provided by the relevant education authority or by

parents. I am proud to be in the small minority of students who

"earn as they learn" and absorb the cost of their own university

education in spite of the many obstacles. (Para. 1)

2) I am aware that my work and study choices are not popular

and that many influential studies claim to illustrate that working

while going to school negatively impacts educational

performance. They cite increased dropout rates, lower scores

and reduced lifetime earnings. Besides, these studies also give

evidence that many students exhaust much of their earnings

not on school, but on entertainment and partying while

attending school. The studies also show increased abuse of

alcohol and drugs, which leads me to question these students'

resolve and commitment to the serious side of life. (Para. 7)

1) It is no easy task for a working student to strike a balance

between work and study. The following tips may help:

good time management: Plan your time wisely and you can

make the best out of it.

modest working hours: Working too long can weaken your

health and affect your school performance.

efficiency in work and study: Learn to work and study more

efficiently because higher efficiency saves your time and

energy.

good health: Get good sleep and do some exercise. After all,

you can neither work nor study well if you are sick.

2) I admire the students who work to pay their own tuition as

long as they are still performing well academically because they

are independent, responsible, and self-motivated. They have to

work harder on fewer hours of sleep, but certainly they will find

it rewarding as they have made full use of their time in college.

What's more, the skills they learn from their part-time work will

put them in a more advantageous position when seeking

employment after graduation. They also share the financial

burden with their parents by paying their own tuition.

Therefore, I think we should learn from them.

I feel pity for the working students as they are not able to fully

enjoy their college life like many other students. They have less

time to study or to do other fun activities. They may have fewer

true friends as they are busy making money. Though they can

gain some work experience, that may not be helpful for their

future careers because part-time work usually involves labor

work rather than professional work. They may feel regretful

after graduation because only by then will they know what they

have missed as college students.

3) Yes, working part-time definitely helps students learn to

prioritize and become more efficient. To balance work and

study, working students often encounter time conflicts and

approaching deadlines. So they have to know which is the most

urgent and important under different circumstances. They can

be frustrated in the beginning. But once they learn how to

prioritize, they can work and study more efficiently than others

because they can multitask.

No, not necessarily. Working students often have to give

priority to their work when their study conflicts with their work.

If they fail to go to work as scheduled, they may lose their job

and the income it brings about. They surely don't want that to

happen. As a result, they may skip class or fail to turn in their

assignments. Moreover, since working students have to study

and work at the same time, they are more likely to get tired and

may thus become more stressful and less efficient in their

study.

4) No, not necessarily. Though paying tuition is a sign of being

independent, there are other ways to show our independence.

For example:

helping parents with housework to show that we contribute to

the family;

helping other students in need to show that we care for others;

doing volunteer work and contributing to society to share social

responsibility;

being excellent in academic study to show that we can prioritize

and know what is most important to us.

5) The advantages of studying full-time without working

part-time are obvious. By studying full-time, students will have

more time to:

focus on study and do well academically;

rest and relax, thus leading a more colorful college life;

have fun and be more optimistic about life;

stay with their families and build a better relationship with their

parents;

visit with friends and build friendships, which may benefit them

for lifetime; and

sample widely and get prepared for future careers.
