I like my job. It may be my nature that draws me to this kind of job. I work at Izzy's Pizza Bar.
One day an elderly couple came in just after 3p. m. The first thing they said was, Where is Nan?" Nan is my mother. She was not in that day. It was her day off.
, since they liked to talk with my mom. But when I explained I was her daughter, they were thrilled to meet me. We enjoyed our conversation, comparable to a girl speaking with her grandparents. They are the type of people who understand me and have a positive attitude towards my job.
Later that night, I waited on two men. It took some effort to get them to be friendly. I explained I was waitressing over the summer to make some extra cash for school. , since she was also my coworker. They said they were very surprised at the idea of me and my mother waiting on people at the same restaurant. The two men were quite different. .
Once all the customers had finished eating, I began my closing duties, using the time to reflect on my day, or rather, life. I rushed around getting everything done, thinking about those two men.
. We should treat people with respect, regardless of their occupation. I could have let those two men make me feel ashamed, but I didn't. . I will always have pride in the person I was, am, and aim to be.

A. Then try and surf along the surface of the wave B. I can experience this same fun when bodysurfing C. but it does have its own unofficial world championship D. that can be practised by using nothing but the human body E. which is looked down on by professional athletes, however F. Famous bodyboarders in the great surfing history have also competed G. A wetsuit is also advisable to use unless you are bodysurfing in tropical (热带的) seas |
I have been lucky enough to be right next to dolphins playing in perfect surf, using the power of the waves to travel even faster than they normally swim. There is np doubt that they are enjoying themselves and, though I can't swim like a dolphin, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.
Bodysurfing involves riding on a wave with no help from any device (装置) such as a surfboard, which makes it the "purest" form of surfing. In fact, it is one of very few extreme sports—free climbing and cliff diving are others—{#blank#}2{#/blank#}.
However, it is more enjoyable and safer if you use flippers (脚蹼). This is because they enable you to swim faster, and so catch waves and surf along them more easily. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. Another aid is a handboard, a mini-surf board about the size of an iron, held in one hand to generate more speed along the wave.
To catch a wave, swim to where the waves break and, as one approaches, start swimming towards the beach. You must try to travel at the same speed as the wave and, if you do it correctly, you will feel the wave lifting you and pushing you forwards. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.
Bodysurfing is not a professional sport, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}—the Pipeline Bodysurfing
Classic—held each year at the legendary Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii. Local bodysurfers compete against athletes from places such as Australia, Brazil, Japan or France, in terrifying walls of water above the sharp coral reef.
For me no other sport is as much fun as bodysurfing. There's a good reason why dolphins choose not to use surfboards!
