Sun Star Bookstore is looking for a part-time clerk!
You will help people find books and keep the shelves clean. You do not need to bring any documents on the first day.
Our shop is next to the MRT station on Central Road. Come and talk to Mr. Lin before Friday. We will hire another clerk in June, too. Call 04-2211-5566 for more information.
Dear Ken,
I have good news. I got the job! The company will hire me as a secretary in the sales department. I start next Monday.
My new office is small, but it has a big window. The building is not ours; my company rents two floors.
My boss seems friendly. She promised to teach me everything, so I am not afraid. The pay is not high, but I think this job is a good start for my career.
Can we have lunch on Sunday? I want to tell you more.

Many students in Taiwan take part-time jobs in the summer. Some work as clerks in shops, and others help in restaurants.
A part-time job is not only about money. Students learn to be on time, to obey rules, and to talk with strangers. These things are useful in any career.
Of course, a job can become terrible when the hours are too long. Teachers say students should work no more than twenty hours a week. Rest and study are still the most important things.
Sixty workers in one office answered a question about how they come to work.
| Way | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| MRT | 12 | 18 |
| Bus | 7 | 9 |
| Motorcycle | 8 | 4 |
| Walk | 1 | 1 |
Each worker chose only one way. The boss says walking to work is good for your health.
