As you are teenagers it will not be an easy task to look for some jobs e.g. during your summer holidays….let’s read the text „Jobs for teenagers in the UK” and do some reading exercises after it….
Reading Activity.
Jobs for teenagers
About half of 16 and 17 year olds in the United Kingdom have got jobs, and three quarters of this age group also go to school. They do part-time jobs before or after school and at weekends. The most common jobs are babysitting(very popular with girls) and paper rounds(popular with boys). Cleaning and working with a shop are also popular jobs.
In the UK school students are not allowed to work more than two hours on a school day, or more than twelve hours in total during a school week. They are not allowed to work before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. (but babysitters can work later). They must have at least two weeks’ holiday from school each year when they don’t work at all.
Teenagers do part-time jobs because they want to earn some money. However, they don’t usually earn very much. In the UK there is a minimum wage for adults: 5-6 pounds an hour. For 16 and 17 year olds, it is 3.5 pounds an hour. For children under 16 there is no minimum wage, so many teenagers work for 2-3 pounds an hour.
