  • Sareth: serving drinks, smiles, and great memories (A2, present simple)

    A friendly bartender who mixes skill, speed, and a warm welcome to give every guest a special experience.

    My name is Sareth, and I work as a bartender in a hotel. I believe I am a great bartender because I am friendly and approachable. When guests arrive at the bar, I always greet them with a warm smile and make them feel welcome. I like to create a relaxed and happy atmosphere where people can enjoy their time.

    I know a lot about drinks, such as cocktails, beers, and wines. If a guest is not sure what to order, I can recommend something they will enjoy. I listen carefully to their order and make sure I prepare the drink exactly as they want it.

    I work quickly and stay organized. Even during busy times, I can manage many orders at once and still keep the bar clean. I like to talk to customers, make them laugh, and keep the mood lively.

    I also serve drinks responsibly. If a guest has had enough, I know how to stop serving politely. I am good at solving problems and making sure guests leave happy.

    I pay attention to small details, like the garnish, the glass, and the way the drink looks. I work well with my team, and together we give the best service possible. For me, being a great bartender means more than making drinks—it means creating a special experience for every guest.
