in the activities of doing part-time jobs. People wonder whether it is good or bad for students to do It goes without saying that working part-time in school has some advantages. First,a part-time job brings them more money and help them to reduce their parents' economic burdens Second, it offers them a chance to demonstrate their ability and to apply what they have learned in school. Third, it helps them to gain some social and economic knowledge and to practise their social abilities, which are of great help to their future career. Finally, it enriches their social life But this activity may bring some disadvantages to the students. First, too much part-time working may lose their time needed for sleep, rest, study and recreation Second, it may affect their studies if they come back with tiredness. And as a result, their studies are going down Finally, more money may bring bad effects on some of the students who spend their time smoking drinking, dressing other than studying In my opinion, those students should keep a balance between study and the job. As a student, acquiring more knowledge, especially learning more book knowledge, is the main task.

It means that effort or trouble is very necessary for all of us in order to achieve something such as a good harvest, a great discovery or invention, either in our work, research or study, or even in our games. It teaches people that no matter what one does, if he expects that it will flower and bear fruit, he must pay for it, either mentally or physically, or both. Otherwise, he will gain nothing For example, if a student, on the one hand, hopes to get high scores on exams, quizzes, experiments or homework assignments, but he, on the other hand, doesn't want to make effort, just idles away his time and sleeps in almost every day, how can he obtain them? what is waiting for him will surely be nothing but complete failure. So we can safely say that great success or victory always results from great effort and, sometimes if necessary, even sacrifice. (160 words) There is another meaningful saying that"Where there is diligence there is success", which quite similar in its sentence structure to the well-known proverb that"Where there is a will there is a way". Diligence is an essential factor of success. The great learning of a scholar is mainly based on his life-long accumulation of knowledge. The mastery and perfection of any skill concerning any specific job is the reward of long painstaking practice and billions upon billions of drops of sweats over years. Genius lies in diligence---"two percent of inspiration and ninety-eight percent of perspiration"as Einstein says. As far as we students are concerned, no one can amount to anything without diligence.
