Every summer,a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure.Most of the 1 are in seasonal work,mainly connected with tourism and 2 .The pay is usually poor,but most people work abroad for the 3 of travel.You can pick grapes in France,entertain(逗乐)kids on American summer camps,and,of course,there are 4 jobs in hotels and restaurants.
But it is not easy now to find work,“ 5 you speak the language of the country well,there will be very few openings,”says Althea Ellis,an adviser on 6 for students.“If you work with a family in Italy,you'll have to speak Italian.When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris,the owner will expect you to speak 7 .British students only have a language 8 for jobs in the USA and Australia.”
9 enjoys the experience.Sarah James was employed to help forty American children in Europe.The two teachers with the children had never been 10 .One child lost his passport;another became seriously ill and was 11 home;the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the 12 they made,and Sarah herself was robbed on her only 13 evening of the entire trip.“I did visit a lot of new places,”she says,“but it wasn't worth it.The pay was 14 and it really was a 24-hour-a-day job.The kids never slept!”
“The trouble is,students expect to have 15 time of it,”Althea Ellis points out.“ 16 ,they see it as a holiday.In practice, 17 ,you have to work hard.At the same time,all vacation work is casual(临时)work.You'll have a job when the hotel,the restaurant,or the campsite(野营地)is busy. 18 ,you'll work if it's convenient for the company that employs you.But you have 19 employment rights.As soon as the holiday season 20 ,they'll get rid of you.”
