Some officials suggested that school hours for chi

It is believed that all these can help train young people to be confident.“I used to go to the park with my parents on weekends before because I like playing tennis with my dad and I can play well,” a boy said, “But now, I3have time to do that any more.”“I would like to try other thin

20、ome adults question if high school students should have jobs. I say yes, they undoubtedly should.Some people worry that teens with after-school jobs will have difficulty finding time for schoolwork.

23、 be out on your own and alone in the future, experiencing stress for the first time.
