　　In the picture there is a college boy handing out sales literature to passers-by on the street. Nowadays, more and more students are taking part-time jobs and there are abundant chances for them. Working for a company is good for college students since they can learn how to get along with different people and how to cope with different situations in society. In doing so, they can accumulate valuable experience and pave the way for his future work. In my view, the experience of working in a company is more valuable than the money that is earned.Department of College English

　　In the picture there are several college students who are reading the posters on the wall. One of the posters says, ―Tutors Wanted.‖ It seems that they are interested in this part-time job very much. By being a tutor, they can earn some pocket money, which can partly relieve their parents’ economic burden. In addition, the students can also learn how to be patient, responsible and how to apply what they have learned from books to practice. All in all, they will benefit a lot from being tutors.

　　The picture shows a college boy washing dishes in a kitchen of a restaurant. There are piles of bowls and plates on the table in need of washing. It is true that holding part-time jobs can help university students to learn something about society, but they should always place greater emphasis on their studies. In my view, if a student has to do part-time jobs, for whatever reason, he must make sure that his study is not affected. He should devote most of time to studying in order to lay a solid foundation for his future career.
