A Letter for New Student ( Chapter 4)

Dear New Student:

     I wish to welcome you to Adelphi University. I guess you have given a lot of thought to the extracurricular activities. According to my experience, I think that taking a part-time job is a great activity for you.
  
    There some kinds of places for part-time job. Such as canteen, restaurant, supermarket, shopping mall, library, online and so on. Students choose many kinds of jobs as their part-time job. Like Waiters, teachers, shop assistants, teaching tutors, librarian, mailman, sellers and other kinds of jobs relevant to their professional program.

     Students get their part-time job mainly through our teachers’ recommending, or schoolmates or friends introduction. In addition, you can simply write posts on websites, or search some advertisements on websites or by newspapers.

     Taking on a part-time job while pursuing a degree is hard work. The obvious benefit is that since standards of consumption are getting higher and higher, doing a part-time job can help you reduce education expenses, earn some pocket money for purchasing clothing cosmetics, electronics, house rent, travel, and so on Furthermore, the benefits are normally greater than earning money. Students who work during their careers can acquire much experience and lecture during the working time. Experience is the best teacher. Some the people consider that doing part-time jobs is a good way to study from real society,such as cultural tradition,social intercourse and so on.It can assist and affect them to become more self-confident. Part time jobs are not only spur students to cultivate their abilities, but also can help them discover the more his shortcoming and ignorance. Then, they will cherish the learning opportunities for schools to be prepared for the challenge tomorrow. Doing a part-time job is not just is a need for students, but also is a request of society. Many employers require graduate students have work experience, not just a certificate paper. Through work, students can seek a job easily after graduation. It also helps students to master their interpersonal skills, manage the time schedule, and lay a solid foundation for their future careers. Doing some part-time job relevant to their professional programs，it can strengthen their understanding of their major.

    We will have a meeting for the new students at 4pm next Friday in Post Hall meeting room.Welcome you to participate in this activity.

Best regards
