A. Read the text.

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 have part-time jobs before or after school and at
the weekends. The most common jobs are babysitting (very popular with girls) and
paper rounds (popular with boys). Cleaning and working in a shop are also popular
jobs.

In the UK, school students are not allowed to work more than two hours on a school
day, or more than twelve hours during a school week. They are not allowed to work

before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. (but babysitters can work later). They must have at least
two weeks’ holiday from school each year when they don’t work at all.
