I have never had a job, but last week i swung by my uncle to check up on him. my uncle works in a perfume shop but to my surprise there were many people helping , some people didnt even buy any perfumes , so I decided to help by calculating the price and selling them when I am not supposed to, my uncle looked at me with a silenced face , he was amazed by what i have just done due to my young age .

Yet, I'm not fluent in English. But I have to improve quality of speaking English and I hope that it will work out for my English education. I eagerly waiting for the forthcoming entrance exams and I have an idea of clear it well, then it will continue to practice day by day for fluent English speaking. A months ago, I have selected for the IELTS coaching, but mistakenly I refused it for my own interest on other entrance examinations like CUET., oh! sorry, you didn't know about it. Ok well, we will see you later.

I have never had a real summer or weekend job yet, but after watching the video I think it can be a very useful experience. A part-time job helps teenagers become more responsible, independent and confident. It is also a good way to earn some money and learn new skills.

I explain the culture relics to people in the museums in weekends last month. That was hard and tired. However, we can learn some knowledge from the relics. Sometimes it can be interesting. And, of course, we can't get money from it because that was volunteering.

Whoa... That's cool! In my country part time job isn't so popular, even for kids whose parents have business. Kids tend to sell things. When I was 9, so many kids in my class already started their own business. There was a kid who sold slimes she made and squishies every weekend at our town park. She also sold it online. And few kids sold meals. There was also a kid who sold stickers and photographs. I think that's good that kids want to start their own business.

I have worked in a cyber on weekends during vacations in the city where I am from. It was nice because my friend was my boss :)

Yes, I had a summer job in my dad’s greenhouses. Actually it is a really hard job, but because of my father is a director, for me it was not so hard as for other workers.

no, i never had it. and, it isn't really interesting for me. i mean, i never know any friend of mine that have a summer job, so it's pretty strange for me :)

No because i am a student.

I think it would be very interesting to have a summer job, since it allows you to learn to have responsibilities. As a child I worked on weekends with my father, selling some things in a market.
