1 . Summer is coming. How will you spend your summer holidays? Will you go camping, do sports or go on with your studies? Why not try some part-time jobs during the summer?
When I was in senior high school, many of my friends held part-time jobs. The most common jobs for teenagers were restaurant jobs. Working in the kitchen, waiting tables and washing dishes were a few of the most typical ones. But my first part-time job was working at a bookstore. I went to the bookstore every day after school to look for new books and hang out with my friends, so I thought, why not work there and make some money?
One of the reasons why these jobs are often worked by teenagers is that they pay low wages. But the wage is still ok. When I worked at the bookstore, I spent my entire salary in the same store buying books. It was almost like my boss paid me in books instead of money. But at the time, that was perfectly fine by me. By doing the part-time job, I made some money, met different people and became independent and responsible.
