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
暑期工作是美国大学学生的传统。早在学年结束前，学生们就开始在假期里找工作。
学生们寄信给一些公司，跟老板询问暑期工作的机会，并邀请朋友和亲戚来寻找就业机会。到六月，学生们通常
解决了问题，开始准备离开书本进入商界。
暑期工作的原因不同于学生对学生的原因。有些工作是为了帮助他们支付学费，有些则是为了在自己选择的职业中获得经验，还有一些只是为了好玩。
打字员、建筑工人、推销员、救生员和服务员，这些都是学生们在暑假期间想找的更普通的工作。但是许多年轻人觉得工作更不寻常。
