    Arun, now a manager of a great hotel at the beach, remembers how his first day in the hospitality business started a long time ago.

    He woke up early in the morning. He felt a little nervous because it was his first day at work. He started a new job as a concierge at a big five-star hotel. He took a shower, brushed his teeth, and put on his clean uniform. Then he looked in the mirror and smiled. He wanted to do his best.

    At 7:30, Arun left his house and took the bus to the hotel. The building looked large and beautiful. The manager welcomed him and showed him where he would sit. Arun met the other workers at the front desk. They were kind and friendly.

    The manager explained his job. Arun helped hotel guests, answered questions, and made them happy. He helped a family find a good restaurant and called a taxi for them. Later, he gave a map to two tourists and told them about a temple to visit. They thanked him and smiled. Arun felt proud.

    In the afternoon, the lobby was busy. Arun stayed calm and polite. He listened carefully and learned many new things.

    At 5:00, his work finished. He said goodbye to his new friends and went home. He ate dinner, took a shower, and went to bed happy and tired.
