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.”
