Part-time jobs for 15and 16years olds
Waiter/Waitress
A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds．Not only
can one earn 9-12 an hour，but they can also get the tips （小费）．Most people
that visit a restaurant don't just have good food．They come here to relax
and have a good time．Besides serving food quickly，a young waiter who talks

time at the restaurant．

B
She was known to millions as the “Queen of Crime” or the “Duchess(女公爵) of Death”. But surprisingly, she hated violence and blood, and knew
nothing of the weapons most often used in murder. “I don't think I dare look
at a really horrible and damaged body,” Agatha Christie once said. But her pen dared to travel where her eyes would not. In her 50-year writing
career, Christie's murder stories made her the world's best-known mystery
writer. Only the Bible and Shakespeare have sold more copies than her.
Her novels have been turned into films and TV series. This month, British
ITV announced they will remake eight Christie films. “Her works have
enduring(持久的) appeal for viewers,” said director Laura Mackie. “There
is always an appetite for a really good whodunit(侦探小说).”
Born in 1890 in England, Christie was educated at home and began her writing
career while working as a nurse during World WarⅠ. She went on to produce
79 novels and numberous short stories, dying at the age of 86. With her
knowledge of murder, Christie could have been a teacher at police academies.
Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, also introduced Hercule
Poirot, a retired Belgian police officer who starred in 30 of her works. Among
the most popular are Murder on the Orient Express (1934), and Death on the
Nile (1937).
Poirot is a tidy little man with a funny-looking moustache, an egg-shaped
head, and a high opinion of himself. He draws conclusions from observing the
behavior of those around him, always managing to spot patterns that others
cannot see. Poirot has become so famous that someone has even written his
biography, The Life and Times of Hercule Poirot.

A. She was a famous writer known as the "Queen of Crime" or the "Duchess of
Horror".
