以下是整理的《英語口語話題：談?wù)撛鲞^的兼職 My part-time job》，希望大家喜歡！
你上學(xué)期間是否做過兼職？如果是，你的兼職工作是關(guān)于什么的，你都經(jīng)歷了什么？
I got my first part-time job when I was 15 working at a car wash in the summertime. A friend of mine, Rob, worked there and got me the job. I think it paid $2.90 an hour, which I considered a fortune. There were no allowances in my family, so most of my brothers and sisters started working as soon as they could to get spending money. I hated working at the car wash, drying cars all day. After only about six weeks working there (though it seemed much longer), I up and quit one day. I felt badly about not giving a two-week notice, but I had it up to here with the job. Luckily, another friend of mine got me a job working at a nursing home, washing dishes in the kitchen. I started the day after my 16th birthday, qualifying me for a slightly higher minimum wage.
我在15歲的時候找到了我第一個兼職工作，夏天在一家洗車行洗車。我的一個朋友叫ROB，在那工作并把我介紹到那去的。當(dāng)時的時薪是2.9美元，在我眼里是個不小的數(shù)目。我們家的孩子都沒有零花錢，所以我的兄弟姐妹們都早早工作給自己賺點錢。我討厭在車行里整天擦車的工作。在那工作了也就六周的時間，有一天我突然決定辭職。雖然我有些歉意沒有提前兩周通知我的辭職，我還是下決心辭掉這個工作。幸運的是，我另外一個朋友給我在養(yǎng)育院找了個在廚房涮盤子的工作。過了16歲生日，我開始了這份工作，因為這樣才滿足就業(yè)的低年齡要求。
Life scrubbing pots and pans was no picnic, let me tell you. I lasted there for only three months, working after school and on weekends while trying to keep up with my homework in high school. My next job was much better: Making keys at a locksmith. The working conditions were much better, and I had flexible hours around my school schedule. I stayed at that job for nearly seven years, right through my college years at the University of Minnesota. To this day I still know the names of all the common key blanks, but it doesn't come in handy very often!
我可以告訴你，整天洗碗與碟的日子真不怎么樣。我在那僅堅持了三個月，一方面要跟上學(xué)校的學(xué)業(yè)，一方面課后要工作，還沒有周末。我的下一個工作就好多了，在一個鎖匠那里做鑰匙。工作環(huán)境要好很多，而且我的工作時間也很靈活，可以安排好我的學(xué)業(yè)。那個工作我一做就是七年，包含了我在明尼蘇達大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)的整個時間。直到今天我能叫得出所有常見鑰匙胚子的名字，只是這種能力通常是沒有什么用武之地。
