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 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 Anthea 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 and 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 a(n)   15  time of it , ” Anthea Ellis points out . “ 16  , they see it as a holiday . In practice ,  17  , you have to work hard . At the same time , all vacational work is casual work . You’ll have a job when the hotel , the restaurant , or the campsite 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 ”.
