Writing Task 2: Responding to Survey Questions
Read the following information.
Your university is conducting survey to know how many work hours should be permitted to students in a week time. The University has sent out an opinion survey to see what students think about it.
Weekly working hours for Students :
Option A: Less than 15 hours per week in a single job.
Option B: More than 20 hours per week with all multiple job hours added.
I think it would be better to give the students the option of working more than 20 hours per week on jobs they can feel comfortable with. One of the reasons is that universities tuitions are too expensive, and some of the students have family support, but what happens to the ones who need to pay the tuition by themselves? They will struggle if their only option is to work 15 hours per week or less. In addition, starting to work more hours and having the opportunity to choose between different jobs would give them an intimate experience of how they will be working after university and understand the environment they will find themselves in, the responsibilities and the pressure. Finally, allowing them to choose where they want to work would help them figure out what they want in life, what expectations they have, and how they will practice all they learned in university. So for the reasons I outlined, I think option B would be a better choice.
