琴行打工英文版暑期社会实践报告

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 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.
