Sample Answer

It has been suggested that high school students should be involved in unpaid community services as a  compulsory part of high school  programmes. Most of the colleges are already providing opportunities to  gain work experience, however there are not compulsory. In my opinion students to work in a community services is  a good idea as it can provide them with many lots of valuable skills.

Life skills are very important  and by doing voluntary work, students can learn how to communicate with others and  work in a team but also how to manage their time and improve their organizational skills. Nowadays, unfortunately. teenagers do not have many after school activities, After-school clubs are no longer that popular and students  mostly fo home sit in front of the TV, browse internet or play video games.

By giving them compulsory work activities with charitable or community organizations, they will be encouraged to  do something more creative, Skills gained through compulsory work will not only be an asset n their CV but also  increase their employability. Students will also demanding  more respect towards work and money as they will realize that it  is not that easy to earn them and hopefully will learn to spend them in a more practical way.

Healthy life balance and exercise are strongly promoted by the NHS, and therefore any kind of spare time charity work will prevent from sitting and doing nothing, It could also possible reduce the crime level in the high school age group. If students have activities to do, they will not be bored and come up with silly ideas which can be dangerous for  them or their surroundings

In conclusion, I think this is a very good idea, and I hope this programme will be put into action for high schools  and colleges shortly.
