Reading
8 Read the text and answer the questions.

Many British university students have a full-time or part-time job at some

time during the year. A recent survey of British students showed that 53%
work during the university holidays. The number of students who don’t
work either in term-time or during the holidays has fallen from 44% to
21% during the past four years.
Traditionally, students work during the summer holidays in areas such as
tourism and agriculture, but there is also great demand for temporary
workers in retail and catering. Supermarkets, particularly those which are
open 24 hours a day, provide work for students during the evenings and
sometimes at night. Other work is also available in cafés, restaurants and
bars and there is also plenty of work at tourist attractions, amusement
parks and holiday centres.
Some students go to the United States to help in summer camps for
school students. This gives them the opportunity to work for a few weeks
and then to travel around for a while. Others go to nearby countries like
France, where there is work in tourism and agriculture.
Most students probably don’t enjoy working very much, but they certainly
enjoy spending the money which they earn from their temporary jobs!

a Name four job sectors in which British students often work.

____________________________________________________________
b What percentage of British students don’t work?
____________________________________________________________
c What kind of work can students find in the USA?
____________________________________________________________
d What are the two job sectors in France where students find work?
____________________________________________________________
e Where can students find work at night?
