2.Many college students choose to take part-time jobs in their spare time. What do you think may be the advantages of it?

Taking part-time jobs may have at least three benefits for college students in my eye.

First and foremost, students can promote their study through part-time jobs. For instance, if a law student finds a part-time job in a law firm, his practice will enable him to better understand what he has learned from books. What’s more, the part-time job can offer him opportunities to go beyond what has been taught in class, and he will learn something

that doesn’t exist in books but in practice.

Moreover, students can accumulate work experience through part-time jobs, which will benefit their future job-hunting. Part-time jobs act as warm-up exercises for students to take full-time jobs after graduation and help them to prepare for future careers. In addition, graduate students lacking in practical work experience are often disfavored in job-hunting markets.

Last but not the least, part-time jobs can partly relieve students’ financial burden, especially those who are from poor families.
