暑假还剩10天,在过去一个多月里,我在朋友圈里跟着大家走遍了全国各地,欣赏了祖国的大好河山。

晨读完毕,你有收获吗?喜欢的话可以继续关注。如果你有更好的建议,欢迎给我私信。你们的支持,是我继续的动力。
彩蛋来啦!
当年在广州上大学,每年2次的广交会就是我们这些大学生的零花钱来源。50元一天还会说英语的兼职大学生(廉价劳动力)在各酒店是相当受欢迎的,于是……
我也和酒店结下了渊源!

虽然要上课,虽然父母每个月给的伙食费也有剩余,但靠自己的劳动赚来的零花钱还是很开心呀。每到广交会时我们能省20天的伙食费(兼职管饭),拿着50块钱的收入被正式员工使唤着跑腿和接待外宾(顺便锻炼了口语)。其中最开心的是在某五星酒店的那20多天,我们十来个廉价劳动力被五星员工饭堂养得白白胖胖,偶尔还能拿到小费补贴打车钱。
要好好学英语呀!我们这帮普通话标准、会英语还会粤语的学生最好找兼职了,多一项技能,多一份保障!
你们知道我做兼职的收入都用来做什么了吗?
哈哈,切合本次主题,当然是去旅游了!
