Working at the Front Desk

I started working at the front desk of a small hotel three months ago. Before that, I worked in a shop. The hotel job is harder, but it's more interesting. Every day I meet people from different countries.

The most difficult part is English. Guests ask many questions: Where is the beach? What time is breakfast? Can you call a taxi? In the first week I understood almost nothing. I smiled a lot and said, "One moment, please."

Now it's better. I learned the fifty most common questions and practised the answers every night. Yesterday a guest from Germany said my English was very clear. I was so happy I told my whole family at dinner.
