E: I’ve heard you spent some time during holiday working. Tell me how was it?
S: Actually, I found it really interesting but tiring.
E: Tell me something more about it.
S: I worked at my uncle’s restaurant as a waiter for a month. Every morning I had to sweep and mop the floor and lay all the tables before first guests came. Then I checked if the toilets are clean. When the guests started coming I always had to be ready with menu and dishes of the day. Finally I had to clean and lay them again after the guests have left.
E: Did you like it?
S: Yes, a lot. Although the work was exhausting and I sometimes had to be busy as a bee, it was pretty enjoyable and most of the guests used to leave me tips!
