Before doing that exercise do

first !!!!!!!!!!

Bun, nowadays a successful owner of a restaurant, remembers his first day in hospitality business, being concierge in a luxury resort.

That day was my first day at a 5-star hotel. I woke up very early. I took a shower and put on my uniform. I ate a small breakfast. Then I took the bus to the hotel. I felt a little nervous and happy.

When I arrived, my manager showed me the lobby. He taught me how to greet guests. I said, “Good morning, welcome to our hotel!” many times. I helped guests with check-in. I gave them their room keys. Some guests asked questions about the hotel. I tried to answer politely. I smiled and spoke slowly.

At lunchtime, I sat with my new coworkers. They talked to me. They were very kind and friendly. In the afternoon, I answered phone calls. I wrote messages and helped guests with small problems. I learned a lot that day.

When my shift ended, I felt tired but happy. I took the bus home. I thought about my first day. It was a good day. I was excited for tomorrow.
