Good Jobs for Teenagers

When you become a teenager, you reach the age of responsibility and financial independence. You
may want to earn money so that you can buy the clothes that you like or get music by your favourite
artists. You may want to go out with your mates at weekends and pay for the meal or the film. If you are
thinking of your future, you might also want to start putting money in a savings account for college or
a new car. Performing various part-time jobs can help you get the cash for whatever it is that you need.
Here are some options that are perfect for teens seeking school holiday employment, so you can decide
which is the right one for you.
CONTOH
Do you like amusement parks? An amusement park is a perfect place for a teen to work. The
environment is fun, the people are friendly, and the perks are appealing. If you are looking for an
exciting position, you can apply to work as a ride operator. It is a position for a person who is very
detail-oriented and takes safety very seriously. Also, amusement and water parks hire legions of young
people to keep track of the rides and to entertain visitors.

As a teenager, you won’t quite be ready for work as a veterinarian or even a veterinary technician,
but you still have plenty of opportunities to start working with animals. Getting a job in a pet store is one
way to start working with pets. Pet store jobs are often entry-level, with little to no formal experience
required, so they can be good jobs for teens. Pet store jobs require animal care, including walking and
feeding dogs and cats, and cleaning animal living quarters. Pet store workers may also be responsible
for stocking supplies, assisting customers and managing a cash register. If you are interested in an
animal-related career later on, a part-time job is a good place to start.

Many teenagers can find starter positions in fast-food restaurants based on the minimum age to
work in each country. These establishments will usually hire people who do not have any experience.
To work well in this position, you have to love working with people at a fast pace. Most fast-food
restaurants expect the servers to be very quick and work well under pressure. Working in a fast-food
restaurant is not glamorous, but it offers flexibility in scheduling work time. Fast-food servers take and
fill customers’ orders for food and drinks, assemble some items, such as sandwiches and salads, and
collect payment.

Lawn mowing is an excellent holiday job for a teen who does not mind putting in hard work. If
you like to get a good workout, this might be the job for you. Some families like the idea of giving a
local kid a leg up. The best way to get started is to knock on their doors and ask if they need help. As a
mower, you must be able to handle a regular responsibility on your own without adult prodding. Also,
you must be detail-oriented enough to handle tricky aspects of mowing, such as mowing small areas,
coping with fallen limbs, and using a clipper to tidy areas that a lawnmower cannot reach, and be able
to handle feedback from homeowners who may want to see the job done differently.

What A Terrible Mess

It was weekend, and Ainur and her elder sister, Airis, were relaxing in their bedroom. Mother
suddenly appeared in the doorway, knocking on their door, and said, ‘Why don’t you girls help me
with the household chores and I’ll give you some extra pocket money.’ Ainur was excited to be able to
earn some extra pocket money, but Airis did not feel like doing anything.

‘Sure, Mum,’ replied Ainur excitedly while Airis only nodded her assent to the idea half-heartedly.
‘I’ve written down the chores that need to be done. Here they are. I’m going to the supermarket for
awhile to buy some essential items. And yes, I’m going to cook your favourite salmon steak later. You
two work together and do a good job,’ reminded their mother.

‘Don’t worry, Mum,’ Ainur said reassuringly. ‘Everything will be all right.’
Once their mother left to the supermarket, Airis dragged herself out of bed and then to the living
room to start on the first chore, but Ainur stopped her. ‘It’s okay, sister. Let me handle the chores.’
Airis said, ‘Are you sure? You haven’t done so many chores on your own.’ ‘Don’t worry, sister. I
can do this,’ said Ainur confidently.
Ainur started with the laundry. She was unsure about how much detergent to use, so she poured
in five cups. After ten minutes, soapy water started to flow out of the washing machine. Ainur didn’t
realise what was happening in the utility room. She was at the kitchen trying to do the dishes, but broke
a few plates.
When their mother got home, she was shocked to see the house in even more a mess. Ainur and
Airis apologised profusely for not taking their duties seriously. Then, their mother made Ainur and
Airis do their chores properly.

Dexter’s Thoughtful Act of Giving

One day, I was outside playing in the snow when my father asked me to help him shovel the

driveway. I helped out, and when my mates, Jeffrey and Adam, came over, they joined in too. We were

finished so quickly that I decided to take my shovel and see if any of the neighbours were interested in

having their driveways shovelled too. 1 – 9 (P1) [Lihat halaman sebelah

My third stop was the home of Mr Scott. I rang the doorbell, and when he answered, I noticed he

was wearing a bathrobe. 35 I offered my services and he said he would like to hire me, not

only for that day, but for the rest of the winter. ‘I’m having surgery on my back next week, and I can use

all the help I can get,’ he said. Mr Scott was a widower and he lived all alone. I gladly accepted the job

and was thrilled to have a steady income for the rest of the winter.

Two weeks passed and we got another heavy snowfall. 36 It was so freezing cold that

day, and all you could see were my eyes peering out from above my scarf!
CONTOH
With a shovel in hand, I headed over to Mr Scott’s house. As I began my work, I noticed an unusual

amount of activity going on at his house. 37 Mr Scott answered the door and graciously

accepted the offerings of all the neighbours. I finished shovelling the driveway and sauntered up to the

door to collect my hard-earned money. Mr Scott was so appreciative that I was able to help him out.

38 I was feeling on top of the world.

I had only travelled about half a block when I noticed something. I wasn’t as happy as I normally

was with fresh banknotes in my pocket. Mr Scott did not look well. Here the neighbours were dropping

off food, sending him get-well cards and so on. I just did not feel right. 39 I did not want to

bother Mr Scott, so I carefully took the banknotes out of my pocket and slipped them back under his

door.

As I walked away from his house, I realised I felt different. My head was held high. 40 I

had the satisfaction that I had helped out someone in need, and that was a great feeling. There are bigger

rewards in life than money.

Have you ever done a good deed for somebody without asking for anything in return? How did it

make you feel?

A Neighbours were stopping by, leaving off pies, soups and casseroles.
B He did not look like his normal energetic self.
C The illness proved to be terminal.
D He gave me a ten-pound note, plus a five-pound tip.
E I didn’t have money in my pocket, but I had something even better in my heart.
F I bundled up to go outside and shovel Mr Scott’s driveway.
G I saw a few neighbours huddled around Mr Scott and they were making a huge fuss

about something.
H I did an about-face and marched right back up to the door.
