　　本期节目话题参考文本

　　If I had to work with a family member in the future, it would definitely be my mother. As a matter of fact, I had worked with her before in our family restaurant.
　　I remember long time ago, my parents had a big restaurant in a very upscale neighborhood and it was quite busy. And sometimes, they had employees who didn’t show up to work and I had to cover for them. So after school, I would go there to help them out and also it was a good opportunity for me to learn some real-life skills. Since it was a restaurant, I sometimes waited on the customers, and was cashier from time to time. If the place got too busy, I would also have to work in the kitchen as a dishwasher or busboy.
　　They have had the restaurant for a long time and after I graduated from college with my accounting degree, I also helped them do their income taxes and keep their finances in order.
　　So in the future, if my parents decided to open another restaurant, which I don’t think they will since they are retired, I would definitely help them out again.
　　The reason I want to work with my mother is because she is probably the hardest working person I have ever met. Also, she is very open-minded who loves to listen to others advice.
