Dear Jay,
I was so happy to get your letter. It's great to hear from you.
I have a job in a shoe shop near where I live. I work every Saturday but during the holidays I work three days a week. Although sometimes I enjoy the contact (接触) with people, I'm not very interested in what I'm selling!
Most people don't want to work in the evening, so it's not too difficult for us students to get an evening or weekend job in a supermarket. Some even stay open all night! Some students often work in restaurants and cafes (咖啡店) because that's usually evening and weekend work too. The disadvantage is that during term time, it can be hard to finish all the homework. On the other hand, it's great to have a lot of money to spend, especially during the holidays!
For the same reason, the jobs I've talked about are hard work. However, they seem (似乎) to be the kind of part-time (兼职) work popular with teenagers (青少年) in my area.
I'll send you some pictures of me in the shoe shop — then you will be able to see what kind of place I work in! I hope you can find a job you enjoy.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Ben
