đŸ„—đŸ•đŸčMeet Kunthea – her day as a waitress in a five-star hotel (A1 beginners, present simple,questions, negations, short answers, part 2/2)đŸčđŸ•đŸ„—

My name is Kunthea. I am a young woman from Cambodia. I work in a big hotel. I am a waitress. I like my job, but some days are very busy.

My work starts at 7 a.m. I put on my uniform and go to the restaurant. I clean the tables and put plates and glasses on them. Everything must look nice for the guests.

Many guests come for breakfast. They say “Good morning” and “Thank you.” I bring coffee and food. Sometimes many guests need help. I must work fast.

Sometimes guests are unhappy. I say “Sorry” and try to help. In the afternoon it is quiet. I clean and talk with my friends. At the end of the day, I am tired but happy.
