 Reading

Looking for a summer job?

1 It is summer time and maybe you are excited about a long holiday from school. If you aren’t
travelling, you shouldn’t feel bored. Why don’t you look for a job? There are lots of jobs you
can do in the summer time. You can earn money and meet people from different countries.
2 If you like being part of a team, you could work in a hotel. The summer is a very busy time,
and it is very easy to find work in July and August when many hotels look for cleaners, waiters
and chefs. You have to work hard, but it is fun and the money isn’t bad.
3 If you love music, you’ll be a great DJ! Summer is party time and lots of cafés and campsites
look for people who can play good music. This work is exciting, and you get a lot of time off in
the daytime.
4 If you like children, you could work at a children’s summer camp. This is fun and you will
make lots of new friends. If you work at a summer camp, you will play sport, do painting and
go to the beach. You won’t earn much money, but you will have a great time!
5 You can look for summer jobs on the Internet or you can buy a newspaper and read the job
adverts. Good luck!
