Every summer a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the   21   are in seasonal work, mainly connected with tourism and   22   . The pay is usually poor, but most people work abroad for the   23   of travel. You can pick grapes on farms in France, entertain kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are   24   jobs in hotels and restaurants.

       But it is not easy now to find work. “  25   you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings,” says Althea Ellis, an adviser on   26   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   27   . British students only have a language   28   for jobs in the USA and Australia.”

         29   enjoys the experience. Sarah James was employed to help forty American children in Europe. The two teachers with the children had never been   30   . One child lost his passport; another became seriously ill and was   31   home; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the   32   they made, and what’s worse, Sarah herself was robbed on her only   33     evening of the entire trip. “I did visit a lot of new places,” she says, “but it wasn’t worth it. The pay was   34   and it really was a 24-hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!”

       “The trouble is, students expect to have a(n)   35   time of it.” Althea Ellis points out. “After all, they see it as a   36   . In practice,   37   , 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 other words, you’ll work if it’s convenient for the company that   38   you. But you have   39   employment rights. As soon as the holiday season   40   , they’ll get rid of you.”
