answers and explain your opinions and feelings.
I think working as a teaching assistant is a
very rewarding job. I can help students who
have questions or need encouragement
during the lesson.
Why? You won't even
get paid for that.

Oh, I get it.

I agree, but it seems like a challenging job.
You'll have to be patient and explain the
same thing over and over again. It can get
very repetitive. Personally, I'd rather be an
event volunteer.

I know, but I'll meet interesting people
and learn important skills like
communication and time management.
Besides, volunteer experience can help
me find a better job later on.
