Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: One of the ways that parents can help children be ready for adult life is to ask them to do a part-time job. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

[Body]
When the clock turned to 2:00 am, we finally got a chance to take a rest, after hours of repetition to pick up mails and postcards to put them into different boxes. All part-time workers were sitting along an aged sofa, looking tired. Kenji passed me a can of hot coffee and asked, "Is this your first part-time job?". "Ye...Yes" I replied with my barely mastered Japanese. "It's hard, isn't it?" that was how the conversation ended. It was indeed a hard job, but from it I gained the confidence that I can support myself in this expensive city, Tokyo. After that, I have kept on doing various part-time jobs. Despite the hardness in those jobs, I have never regret on them, and I sincerely believe every parent should have their children to do some similar part-time jobs while their children grow up.

First and foremost, part-time jobs can help children to become independent. Kids tend to think parents' love and support will last as long as needed. However, all parents are going to age and retire. Someday, they may lose most of their energy and income. Then it is the time for the kids to support themselves, or even support their parents. By asking children to do some part-time jobs will help children to understand they have to support themselves to some extent, and thereby becoming more independent. I actually know a negative example on it from my personal life. Jane, one of my friends, was blessed to be born in a relatively wealthy family. She basically got everything she needed while growing up. Even after Jane came to Japan for her studies, where most of international students support their lives with part-time jobs, she has still been supported by her parents, without bothering to do any part-time jobs. After graduation, when she failed to find a job at early age, she just easily gave up and decided to go back to her hometown to live with her parents. She seems to me easy to give up on tough missions, at least partly, due to her lack of independence.

Equally important, part-time job can benefit kids with extra experience and knowledge. Children can meet various people in their part-time jobs. Some of them may even become good friends for life. Besides, some part-time jobs can provide real knowledge and experience for one's career. It needs to look no further than my own personal experience to testify it. I managed to find a part-time job at Nishimura & Asahi, the biggest law firm in Japan when I was a graduate student. It was a great chance to really practice law after having learnt it for 5 years. Additionally, lawyers I met during the part-time jobs become some precious connections in the industry even for my later career.

Of course, I would never go as far as to imply that children should do too many part-time jobs. Nonetheless, from the reasons above, I firmly believe that some part-time jobs can be very beneficial, by help children to become more independent and providing children with useful experience. Thus, parents should have their children to try some part-time jobs while they grow up.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: It is impossible to be completely honest with your friend.

[Body]
John, Tony, and I were driving to the sea to enjoy our summer vocation, when we were caught in a serious car accident. I was lucky enough to be only lightly injured, but not John and Tony. When Tony finally opened his eyes after the accident, his first words were "how is John?". I replied, without really thinking about it, "He is fine. Don't worry.", though in fact John was right then receiving his surgery. This is probably the first I realize that people do make white lies sometimes out of their nature, and being completely honest is not possible and not necessarily always the right thing to do.

First and foremost, people make white lies to not hurt their friends' feelings sometimes. Sad news happens everyday. Sometimes the receiver is just not ready enough to really take the truth. Just like what I did in the accident mentioned above, if I were asked again to make a choice on whether to tell the truth, I would still stay with a white lie, because Tony, as weak as he was then, was really not ready for such sad news about John. In other cases, we just don't want to be the person to deliver some cruel truth. After all, No one wants to look at the disappointed face of friends at bad news. This needs to look no further than our everyday experience. Sometimes we know a friend has failed an exam, but when asked we may still say "I don't know. Maybe you can check it out yourself".

What's more, in some cases people make white lies to protect others, or sometimes themselves. There are always some conflicts of interests among friends, or between some friend and ourselves. For instance, if I happen to know one of my friends is going to apply for a dream graduate school, and due to the fierce competition this friend asked me to keep such information confidential. Under such circumstance, if some other friend, who is also applying for the same school, comes and asks about the friend mentioned earlier. I believe, the proper answer would be "I don't know" rather than telling the truth.

Of course, I would never go as far as to imply lying is acceptable in any circumstance. Being honest is essential to friendships. Nonetheless, in certain situations, telling a white lie is a better choice.
