About half of 16- and 17-year-olds in the UK 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 (common) jobs are babysitting (very popular with girls) and paper rounds (popular with boys). Cleaning and working in a shop (be) also popular jobs.
In the UK, school students (allow) to work less than two hours on a school day, or less than twelve hours in total during school week. Students are not allowed (work) before 7 a. m. or after 7 p. m. (but babysitters can work later). They must have at least two (week) holiday from school each year when they don't work all.
Teenagers do part-time jobs they want to earn some money. However, they don't (usual) earn very much. In the UK, there is a minimum （最低） wage for adults: £5.52 an hour. For 16- and 17-year-olds, it is £3. 40 an hour. For (child) under 16, there is no minimum wage, so many teenagers work for £2 or £3 an hour.
