Since the summer holiday comes, I have a lot of free time, as I stay at home all the time, my mother suggests¹ me to take a part-time job, I am so willing² to accept her idea, because I want to earn money by myself. I find a job as waiter, I have to work early in the morning, people need to have their breakfast, I serve them. On the job, I earn little money, but I have worked so hard, I get to know it is not easy to earn money, so I start to feel grateful³ for my parents. Now I won’t waste money, before I pay for the bill, I need to measure⁴ them.

自从暑假到来以后，我有很多空余的时间，由于我整天呆在家里，妈妈建议我找一份兼职，我很乐意接受她的主意，因为我想要自己挣钱。我找了一份服务生的工作，我不得不一大早起来工作，人们需要喝早茶，我为他们服务。在这份工作上，我只挣了一点钱，但是我是那么辛苦地工作，我知道挣钱很不容易，所以我开始感激父母。如今我不会浪费钱，在我付款之前，我会衡量下我买的东西是否需要。
