Every summer a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the 26 are in seasonal work, mainly connected with wourism and 27
The pay is usually poor, but most people work abroad for the 28 of travel. You can pick grapes on farms in France, entertain kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are 29 jobs in hotels and restaurants.
But it is not easy now to find work. “ 30 you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings,” says Althea Ellis, an adviser in 31 for students.
“If you work with a family in Italy, you’ll have to speak Italian. When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Pairs, the owner will expect you to speak 32 . British students only have a language 33 for jobs in the USA and Australia.”
34 enjoys the experience. Sarah James was employed to help forty American children in Europe. The two teachers with the children had never been 35 .One child lost his passport; another became seriously ill and was 36 home; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the 37 they made, and what’s worse, Sarah herself was robbed on her only 38 evening of the entire trip. “ I did visit a lot of new places,” she says,“ but it wasn’t worth it. The pay was 39 and it really was a 24-hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!”
“The troubles is, students expect to have a(n) 40 time of it.” Althea Ellis points out. “After all, they see it as a 41 .In practice, 42 ,you have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual (临时的) work. You’ll have a job when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy. In the other words, you’ll work if it’s convenient for the company that 43 you. But you have 44 employment rights. As soon as the holiday season 45 ,they’ll get rid of you.”

34 , when I was 14, Professor Donald Crouch came to our school. He was a retired college professor. He held a book of poems 35 it were a diamond necklace. When he heard our school was 36 Shakespeare, he could no longer 37 not being a part of our school.
When he 38 that I not only loved poetry but was 39 it, we became closer. There was, however, one 40 between us—Professor Crouch could not stand the 41 that I refused to read my poems to the class.
“Jim, poetry is 42 to be read aloud,” he said. “You should be able to speak those beautiful words.” I shook my head and 43 .
Then he tricked me. After handing in a poem, I waited for his 44 . It didn’t come. Instead, one day as the students gathered together, he said to me, “Jim, I don’t think you wrote this.” I 45 him in disbelief. “Why”, I started, “of course I 46 !” “Well, then,” he said, “you’ve got to prove it by getting up and reciting it 47 memory.”
With knees shaking, I walked up. For a moment I stood 48 . Then I began, and kept going. I recited my poem all the way through!
Afterwards, Professor Crouch congratulated me, and 49 me to read other writers’ poems before the public.
Before long, I discovered I did have a (n) 50 and found my fellow students actually looked forward to hearing me recite.
