But they were 10 on a plane heading for Spain.

　　Mrs Malloy was still a bit 11 about the thought of eating strange 12 food, and had some real English tea and tins in her bag 13 Mr Malloy wondered whether the few Spanish phrases he had 14 in six weeks of evening classes would be 15 to talk to the natives, and anxiously 16 his bilingual (双语的) phrase book.

　　Every summer, a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the 1 are in seasonal work, mainly connected with tourism and 2 . The pay is usually poor, but most people work abroad for the 3 of travel. You can pick grapes in France, entertain (逗乐) kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are 4 jobs in hotels and restaurants.

　　But it is not easy now to find work, “ 5 you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings,” says Anthea Ellis, an adviser on 6 for students. “If you work with a family in Italy, you'll hive to speak Italian. When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris, the owner will expect you to speak 7 . British students only have a language 8 for jobs in the USA and Australia.”

The pay was 14 and it really was a 24-hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!”

　　“The trouble is, students expect to have 15 time of it,” Anthea Ellis points out. “ 16 , they see it as a holiday. In practice, 17 , you have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual (临时) work. You'll have a job when the hotel, the restaurant or the campsite is busy. 18 , you'll work if it's convenient for the company that employs you. But you have 19 employment rights. As soon as the holiday season 20 , they'll get rid of you.”

　　Helene Warton and her sister Charlotte don't go to school. Instead they are taught in their 1 by their parents, Heidrun and Richard Warton.

But gradually the family relaxed, and soon noticed the advantages of home education. Helence could work at her own 12 and began to read a great deal. Curiosity and self-motivation became very important. 13 was no longer competitive, it was divided into subjects and it became more practical. 14 learning from books, Helence and Charlotte started to cook, help in the garden, do housework, visit museums and other places of interest with her parents, and go to drama and music lessons.

Then, he spent hours and hours on it 4 it looked almost new. I was so 5 of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit.

　　I could 6 wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening. I went to the kitchen to 7 the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a 8 : “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”

　　I was so 9 . It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could 10 lessons.“Learn to play the piano, and I'll get you one” was my husband's 11 .

　　I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could 12 this expensive gift.

　　Of course, the 13 awoke, and my son was thrilled (激动的) with my reaction. Many kisses were 14 and I immediately wanted him to 15 my gift.

　　As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not 16 what I was expecting. Then I 17 that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.

　　Of course I was the proudest mother 18 on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.

　　So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still 19 and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!

　　I thought you'd love to 20 this story.

Yours,

Hilary
