7月15号，暑假的第三个周一，我开始了在知音琴行的打工生活，我曾在这里学习演奏吉他和鼓，我喜欢这里和这里的每一个人，所以选择这里作为我打工的地方，正如我所希望的，在这里的三十个小时的每一分钟我都是快乐的。
我的工作是清洁吉他、搬运电器和招呼顾客。以前我不知道乐器销售员每一天的第一件事是清洁店里的所有乐器。早上9点，当我到了店里，我被要求清洁吉他，看上去这是个很容易的工作，实际上一点也不简单，稍不小心，你就会让吉他跑调。我看到一位女店员甚至在清洁钢琴的内部。搬运电钢琴也是很不容易的，你一定要相当有力气才能搬动它而又不会碰坏任何地方。招呼客人、介绍乐器是我的主要工作，任何时候有客人进店，我都要上去问候，看我能为他做什么。
通过这次打工，我学到了怎样向客人介绍推销一件乐器。有时那些流行的乐器反而利润低而且不容易销售，因为家家都卖。你必须找到一些特殊的方面去介绍。对于一个乐器销售人员，以下是重要的几个方面：
l 微笑 微笑 微笑
l 了解怎样保养乐器
l 知道很多新歌
l 懂得吉他 暑期社会实践报告
我对店里的每一个工作人员都是印象深刻
王永 他是一个酒吧乐队的贝斯演奏员，在店里他是电子乐器部门的负责人，他能演奏店里的几乎所有乐器，弄出好听的音乐。这是一个很好的人也有很多朋友，有时他们来店里玩，还叫上我一起去吃晚饭，晚饭时我们谈论音乐，真是有趣。
邓华 他热爱吉他，他说他不仅是爱吉他的声音而且爱吉他本身。我喜欢跟他聊天，总是能从他那里学到新东西。他不仅是一个有才能的吉他手，他也是一个很好相处的好人，他总是快乐的，发烧时除外。
众女士 女销售员们很有耐心、热情、说话声音也很大，她们似乎对我很好奇，总会问我很多问题，比如：你多大啦？你父母是做什么的？你有女朋友了吗？这让我不太舒服也不知道是不是应该每问必答。
有时店里会来想买吉他的大学生，他们是比较容易交谈的客人，我们有很多话题，我们喜欢不同的音乐，总是企图说服对方。
在乐器店工作是很有趣的，有很多事和我原先想的完全不同。我曾以为买乐器的人大多数是热爱音乐特别是摇滚音乐的青少年，现在我知道我错了，其实买乐器的人大部分是有些钱、上了年纪，有时间享受生活的人们。
我想我不会以音乐为生，但可以肯定的是，音乐将会是我的今生的爱好。

work experience
mike wang
from march 15th, i started to work at a music instrument shop called “best friend music co., ltd”. i have learned to play guitar and drum in this shop. i like this place and everyone in this store. that is why i choose to work here. as i hoped, i was very happy in every minute of these 30 hours.
in my work time i cleaned guitars, moved electronics and met customers. i didn’t know that instrument sellers must clean all the instruments when they start their day at work. once i was in the store at 9:00an, i was asked to clean all the guitars. it looks like an easy job to do, but it’s really not. i must do it very carefully because even if you just touch any small part of an instrument, its tone would be changed. i saw a woman was cleaning a piano. she even clean the inside of the piano. moving an electronic piano is a hard work. you have to be strong enough to move it without any harm. meeting customers and introducing the instruments is the main part of the job. whenever a customer comes into the store i must greeting them, and see if there is anything i can for them.
during the work experience i’ve learnt that how to talk to people when you try to sell an instrument. sometimes the very popular instruments get very low profit and hard to sell. so you have to find something special to tell. for a sells person, these are the most important things：
l smile smile smile
l know how to take care of instruments
l know many new songs
l know guitar
i was really impressed by people who are working in the store

he is a bass player in a bar band. he works in the store as a sells man and in charge of electric instruments section. he can play all the instruments in the shop and making beautiful music. he is a very nice guy and has a lot of friends. his friends are very kind people too. sometimes they come to the store and even invited me with them for the dinner. we were talking about music. it was fun.

he loves guitar, and he told me that he not only love the sound of guitar but itself. i like to talk to him and i can always learn something new from him. he is not only a very talented guitar player, but also a very nice and funny guy to be with. he always happy except when he got fever.
group of women
women sellers are very patient, warm-hearted and speak very loud. they seem very curious about me and always ask me questions like: how old are you? what do your parents do? do you have a girlfriend? that makes me really uncomfortable and i’m not sure if i have to answer all those questions.
sometimes there are some college students come to buy a guitar. they are very easy to be with. we had a lot to talk about. we like different kinds of music and always try to persuade each other.
working in a instrument store is very interesting. so many things are totally different with what i thought before i worked there. i use to think that the biggest group of instruments customers is the teenagers which crazy about music, especially rock’n roll music. but i was wrong. actually the biggest groups of customer are those who have some money, elderly, and have free time to enjoy their life.
i don’t think music would be my occupation. but for sure, it would be my hobby of my entire life.
