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.”

Dec. 24, 1848
Dear Johnston,
Your request for eighty dollars, I do not think it best to satisfy now. At the various times when I have helped you a little, you have said to me, “We can get along very well again,” but in a very short time I find you in the same difficulty again. Now this can only happen by some fault in your behavior. What that fault is, I think I know. You are not lazy, and still you are an idler(游手好闲). I doubt whether since I saw you, you have done a good whole day’s work, in any other day. You do not very much dislike to work, and still you do not work much, merely because it does not seem to you that you could get much for it.
This habit of uselessly wasting time is the whole difficulty; it is vastly important to you, and still more so to your children, that you should break this habit. It is more important to them, because they have longer to live, and can keep out of an idle habit before they are in it, easier than they can get out after they are in.
You are now in need of some ready money; and what I suggest is, that you shall go to work hard, for somebody who will give you money for it.
Let father and your boys take charge of your things at home-prepare for a crop, and make the crop, and you go to work for the best money wages, or to pay back any debt you owe. And to secure you a fair reward for your labor, I now promise you that for every dollar you will, between this and the first of May, get for your own labor, I will then give you one other dollar. By this, if you hire yourself at ten dollars a month, from me you will get ten more, making twenty dollars a month for your work.
Now if you will do this, you will soon be out of debt, and what is better, you will have a habit that will keep you from getting in debt again. But if I should now clear you out, next year you will be just as deep in as ever. You say you would almost give your place in Heaven for $ 70 or $80. Then you value your place in Heaven cheaply, for I am sure you can with the offer I make you get the seventy or eighty dollars for four or five months’ work. You say if I furnish you the money you will deed(抵押) me the land, and if you don’t pay the money back, you will deliver possession-Nonsense! If you can’t now live with the land, how will you then live without it? You have always been kind to me, and I do not now mean to be unkind to you. On the contrary, if you will but follow my advice, you will find it worth more than eight time eighty dollars to you.
Affectionately
Your brother
A. Lincoln
