A Part-time Job（一份兼職工作）
During my summer holiday in 2003, I found a part-time job as a cleaner in KFC. I did not realize that it was not an easy job before I didit. I had to work seven hours a day, which would last three weeks. The job was tiring and boring because I had to get up early and went to bed late. Every day I had to repeat the same work, which nearly made me mad. I almost gave it up, but finally I sticked it out until thenew semester began. The experience taught me a lesson that there is no free lunch. I have to work hard to get what I want. So the experience is very meaningful and I know the value of labour.
2003年暑假期間，我在KFC找到了一份保潔員的兼職工作。在做這份工作之前，我根本沒(méi)認(rèn)識(shí)到這份工作的艱辛。每天我要工作七個(gè)小時(shí)，為期三周。這份工作辛苦而且枯燥，因?yàn)槲也坏貌辉缙鹜硭�。每天我都重�?fù)著同樣的工作，這樣的生活使我快要發(fā)瘋了。我差點(diǎn)就要放棄了，但是最終我堅(jiān)持下來(lái)了，直到新學(xué)期開(kāi)學(xué)。這次工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)教會(huì)了我“天下沒(méi)有免費(fèi)的午餐”，我要努力爭(zhēng)取我所想要得到的。所以說(shuō)那是一件非常有意義的事情，從中我認(rèn)識(shí)到了勞動(dòng)的價(jià)值所在。

It was so boring that I wanted to give it up. At that time I thought of a saying "Where there isa will, there is a way.""Never give up!" I warned myself. Finally I sticked it out. I finished the job before the new semester began. Just as the saying goes, "No pains, no gains." Now I understand the value of labour.
2003年的暑假，我在一家肯德基快餐店做清潔工。每天，我必須工作7個(gè)小時(shí)，總共三個(gè)星期。這項(xiàng)工作既辛苦又枯燥，它如此無(wú)味以致于我想放棄，但這時(shí)我想起了一句諺語(yǔ)“有志者，事竟成�！薄安灰p言放棄�！蔽腋嬲]自己。最后，在新學(xué)期開(kāi)始之前，我完成了這項(xiàng)工作。正如一句諺語(yǔ)所說(shuō)“不勞不獲”�，F(xiàn)在我明白了勞動(dòng)的價(jià)值所在。
