The summer job is a rite of passage for many kids, who are encouraged by their parents to get out of their hair and go and learn valuable lessons about responsibility, the value of money and hard work.
对很多青少年来说,暑假兼职是人生的必经之路,他们在父母的劝勉之下,放下浮躁的心态,通过这堂宝贵的社会课堂学习责任感,正确的金钱观,懂得刻苦努力的重要性。
Whether you were saving for a bike, your first car, a prom dress or whatever, we all went in with high expectations of independence and feeling like a proper adult. However those expectations are not always met!
不论你赚钱的目的是为了买自行车,购置人生第一辆私人汽车还是买一件毕业舞会上穿的礼服,开始投身到兼职中去时我们总是满怀期待,希望能自由独立起来,我们几乎感觉自己已经是合格的成年人了,可是,现实往往不尽如人愿。
