Part 2 : Pancakes and Profit
My parents decided to take everyone in the family for holiday. Everyone, that is, except for me. The
holiday was going to be especially for my sisters, and my parents (0) figure that I would have more fun staying
with my grandma for the weekend. I love Grandma, that is for sure. But a whole weekend together? Just her and
me? I was skeptical about it, (9) and I didn't have much of a choice.
The first day at Grandma's house, we did the usual stuff. She paraded me around to all of her
neighbours, so they could pinch my cheeks and tell me how 10) bigger I had grown. Also, Grandma always made
sure she had my favourite foods in the house, and one of (11) that was pancakes.
The next morning, as always, I woke up very early. By 9.00 a.m., I was so (12) boring that I couldn't
imagine what I would do to pass the time till my parents came home. That was when I decided to help my
grandmother make breakfast.
Grandma showed me how to make my favourite pancakes. We stirred the batter, poured it and
cooked the pancakes to golden perfection. My very first batch came out so well that I couldn't help (13) feel
proud. In fact, I was so proud that I wanted to share my newfound talent with none other than the cheek-
pinching neighbour ladies! Grandma invited them over and they raved about my pancakes. How light and fluffy
they (14) are, how even the ones at the restaurant up the street couldn't compare. Things were starting to look
up. I enjoyed cooking for people. Maybe Grandma could teach me some more. And this weekend wouldn't be so
boring after all.
After brunch, I started to clean up. I lifted a plate to bring it to the sink and gasped (15) up surprise.
There was a RM10 bill under the plate! In fact, there was a crisp ten-ringgit bill under every plate. It was like I had
won the lottery!
As I got ready for bed that night, I started thinking about what I would do with the RM40 I had earned
that day. And I started (16) wonder how I could get even more money. Hey, if I saved enough of it, maybe I could
open my own pancake restaurant someday.
When my parents came to pick me up, they gave me souvenirs from their trip, but nothing could
compare with the money I had made on Saturday morning. On my way home, I had only one thing on my mind -
asking if I could go to my grandmother's house again next weekend. After all, those ladies were hungry for my
pancakes and I was making a tasty profit!

Part 3 : Good Jobs for Teenagers
When you become a teenager, you reach the age of responsibility and financial independence. You may want to
earn money so that you can buy the clothes that you like or get music by your favourite artists. You may want to
go out with your mates at weekends and pay for the meal or the film. If you are thinking of your future, you
might also want to start putting money in a savings account for college or a new car. Performing various part-time
jobs can help you get the cash for whatever it is that you need. Here are some options that are perfect for teens
seeking school holiday employment, so you can decide which is the right one for you.
Do you like amusement parks? An amusement park is a perfect place for a teen to work. The
environment is fun, the people are friendly, and the perks are appealing. If you are looking for an exciting
position, you can apply to work as a ride operator. It is a position for a person who is very detail-oriented and
takes safety very seriously. Also, amusement and water parks hire legions of young people to keep track of the
rides and to entertain visitors.
As a teenager, you won't quite be ready for work as a veterinarian or even a veterinary technician, but
you still have plenty of opportunities to start working with animals. Getting a job in a pet store is one way to start
working with pets. Pet store jobs are often entry-level, with little to no formal experience required, so they can
be good jobs for teens. Pet store jobs require animal care, including walking and feeding dogs and cats, and
cleaning animal living quarters. Pet store workers may also be responsible for stocking supplies, assisting
customers and managing a cash register. If you are interested in an animal-related career later on, a part-time job
is a good place to start.
Many teenagers can find starter positions in fast-food restaurants based on the minimum age to work
in each country. These establishments will usually hire people who do not have any experience.
To work well in this position, you have to love working with people at a fast pace. Most fast-food restaurants
expect the servers to be very quick and work well under pressure. Working in a fast-food restaurant is not
glamorous, but it offers flexibility in scheduling work time. Fast-food servers take and fill customers' orders for
food and drinks, assemble some items, such as sandwiches and salads, and collect payment.
Lawn mowing is an excellent holiday job for a teen who does not mind putting in hard work. If you like
to get a good workout, this might be the job for you. Some families like the idea of giving a local kid a leg up. The
best way to get started is to knock on their doors and ask if they need help. As a mower, you must be able to
handle a regular responsibility on your own without adult prodding. Also, you must be detail-oriented enough to
handle tricky aspects of mowing, such as mowing small areas, coping with fallen limbs, and using a clipper to tidy
areas that a lawnmower cannot reach, and be able to handle feedback from homeowners who may want to see
the job done differently.
