Summer Job
The summer job is a tradition among students of American universities. Long before the end of the school year,students begin their search for jobs during vacation .
Students send letters to businesses, talk to employers about job opportunities durlng the summer, and ask friends and relarives to be on the lookout for jobs for them. By June the students have usually
solved the problem and begin to make preparations for leaving their books to enter the business world.
Reasons for wanting a summer job are different from student to student. Some work to help pay their school expenses; others work to gain experience in their chosen professions; still others work just for the fun of it.
Typist, construction worker, salesman, lifeguard, and waiter these are some of the more common jobs that students try to find during the summer months. But many young people find work that is a little more unusual.

暑期工作
暑期工作是美國大學學生的傳統。早在學年結束前，學生們就開始在假期里找工作。
學生們寄信給一些公司，跟老闆詢問暑期工作的機會，並邀請朋友和親戚來尋找就業機會。到六月，學生們通常
解決了問題，開始準備離開書本進入商界。
暑期工作的原因不同於學生對學生的原因。有些工作是為了幫助他們支付學費，有些則是為了在自己選擇的職業中獲得經驗，還有一些只是為了好玩。
打字員、建築工人、推銷員、救生員和服務員，這些都是學生們在暑假期間想找的更普通的工作。但是許多年輕人覺得工作更不尋常。
