My First Part-time Job

When I was in my first year at university, I got a part-time job at a coffee shop. I worked three evenings a week, from six to ten.

At first it was difficult. I had to remember thirty different drinks, and some customers spoke only English. I was nervous and made a lot of mistakes.

After a month, things got better. I learned how to talk to customers politely, and my English improved a lot. The salary wasn't high, but the experience was more useful than any class I've taken.
