For those simple reasons I do believe that it is a good idea for a high school student to participate in a part time job. Do use the word "those" or "these" ????
help please!

It depends on the context.
These is for the group right here in front of us. Those is for the people who are not here or present.

I'm assuming you listed the reasons in an earlier sentence in the same paragraph. If you did, then "these" is correct. If you did not, you'll need to change your sentence construct all together.

I'm not sure I would use either. Teachers generally dislike these types of words, but I can't think of a better word.... Possibly use therefore, or maybe in conclusion, otherwise I'd use "these"

"these" and "those" show proximity...."these" should be used if u r describing something close to u... "those" should be use if u are describing something farther away...ex. ''those books over there". it depends on the context, but in applying it to the sentence above...use "these".

THOSE: determiner, pronoun, plural of that (SOMETHING NOT HERE); that (USED TO REFER) whereas THESE: determiner, pronoun, plural of this (THING REFERRED TO)
