Some people regard this as completely wrong, while others consider it as valuable work experience, important for learning and taking responsibility. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. The issue of children doing paid work is a complex and sensitive one. It is difficult to say who has the right to judge whether children working is "wrong" or "valuable". Opinions will also differ as to "learning" benefits. No doubt teachers and factory owners, for example, would have varying concerns. An important consideration is the kind of work undertaken. Young children doing arduous and repetitive tasks on a factory production line, for example, are less likely to be "learning" than older children helping in an old people's home. There are health and safety issues to be considered as well. It is an unfortunate fact that many employers may prefer to use the services of children simply to save money by paying them less than adults and it is this type of exploitation that should be discouraged. However, in many countries children work because their families need the additional income, no matter how small. This was certainly the case in the past in many industrialized countries, and it is very difficult to judge that it is wrong for children today to contribute to the family income in this way. Nevertheless, in better economic circumstances, few parents would choose to send their children out to do full-time paid work. If learning responsibilities and work experience are considered to be important, then children can acquire these by having light, part-time jobs or even doing tasks such as helping their parents around the family home, which are unpaid, but undoubtedly of value in children's development.

Only after two days, things started to go wrong. For one, the sound quality is poor. I recorded a CD onto a cassette, and it gave out sounds with terrible noises, which was not what I was expecting. For two, certain buttons seem to have bad quality. Just a few days after my purchase, the speed and pause buttons stopped working. Then, I returned the player to you for repair. Your assistant said I would have to wait for a week. However, the spare parts had not arrived until two weeks later. To make things worse, when I got it two weeks later, there was no obvious improvement in the recording quality, which is still not completely fixed and does not suit my needs. I am not satisfied with the equipment and the service I have received. I am therefore writing to ask for a full refund. I will return the player to your shop on Saturday and I expect to receive a cheque for $120.

I received your letter yesterday complaining that the central heating system in your new house had not been completed by the date promised. I feel awfully sorry for what we have done. I mistook your date of completion for next week due to my inattention, so the delay occurred because the work team installed the system according to the wrong date. Please forgive me for the inconvenience and we will do everything possible to avoid any further delay. I assure you that we will complete the installation by next weekend. This is all my fault and I hope the settlement of this matter can meet your wish. I will try my utmost not to make such a stupid mistake again.

I am writing to enquire about your African Literature and Culture course. Just a few days ago, I found the course when we were asked to choose optional courses for next semester. The name of African Literature and Culture aroused my great interest. Because of your reputation and my enthusiasm in literature, I hope I could study this course in the next semester, and I want to get more details about the course. First of all, I would like to know the brief outline of the course. Moreover, I wonder if there are some relevant books that you can recommend for me to read before the course. I also heard that another course of yours, Chinese Literature, is held every Friday afternoon. If the registration of this course hasn’t closed yet, I will be so glad to participate in your class. Sorry to bother you. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
