Every summer a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the are in seasonal work，mainly connected with tourism and . The pay is usually poor, but most people work abroad for the （3） of travel. You can pick grapes on farms in France ,entertain kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are always jobs in hotels and restaurants.
But as far as they are ，it is not easy now to find work, “ you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings，” says Althea Ellis, an adviser on for students. “If you work with a family in Italy, you'll have to speak Italian. When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Par-is，the owner will expect you to speak . British students only have a language for jobs in the USA and Australia. ” enjoys the experience. Sarah James was employed to help forty American children in Europe. The two teachers with the children had never been . One child lost his passport and just after they ，another became seriously ill and was flown home. Even worse, the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the they made, and what's worse, Sarah herself was robbed on her only evening of the entire trip. “I did visit a lot of new places，” she says, “but it wasn't worth it. The pay was and it really was a 24-hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!”
“The trouble is，students expect to have time of it，” Althea Ellis points out. “ ，they see it as a holiday. In practice, ，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, you will be with the service. In other words ,you'll work if it's convenient for the company that employs you, otherwise it is . You have few employment rights. As soon as the holiday season ，they'll get rid of you. ”
