Taking a Working Holiday

One of the most difficult things young people face when they want to travel is the lack of funds. During summer holidays and possibly at weekends, they are able to take on part-time jobs, but the money they make is just a drop in the bucket of what they need to travel far away. For example, traveling to Australia from Viet Nam can be quite expensive just for an airline ticket, and to a lot of students wanting to travel, it can seem out of reach.

For students wanting to travel to Australia and New Zealand in particular, however, they are in luck. Although many countries offer working holidays, these two countries are well - known for offering them. When a young person signs up to get a working holiday visa, he only pays for the round-trip airfare to get to either place and only needs to carry some extra cash for incidentals. Once he is there, a job awaits where he can earn some money.

Many of the jobs require little or no experience, such as picking fruit or working in a busy pub out in the countryside. Some of the jobs require more experience that most people are unlikely to have, such as being a certified welder to work for eight weeks on a farm. That shouldn't discourage you, though, because there is always something to be found if you search hard enough.

There are many websites that advertise working holidays in Australia and New Zealand. If you have the courage and are looking for a way to make a little money and see the world, it might be just the ticket you were looking for.

26. What can seem out of reach for young people?

A. Being able to find a part-time job.                         B. Being able to travel.

C. Being able to get time off from school.                 D. Being able to earn money.

27. Which students are in luck according to the passage?

A. The ones who want to go to Australia and New Zealand.

B. The ones who have part-time jobs.

C. The ones who have airline tickets.

D. The ones who are on holiday.

28. Where can people find working holidays advertised?

A. In magazines.         B. On the radio.          C. In travel guidebooks.         D. On the Internet.

29. According to the passage, which statement is true?

A. Some working holidays are not paid.

B. People on working holidays must be from Australia or New Zealand.

C. A young person needs a special visa to go on a working holiday.

D. Picking fruit is the only job available for young people on working holidays.

30. Why would a student NOT want to take a working holiday?

A. To earn money.      B. To show how fearful he is.             C. To see the world.    D. To visit a new place.

VII. Write the sentences with the same meaning to the first ones. Use words given.
