a long way

last semester, i worked in a restaurant at my spare time. at the beginning, it was extremely hard for me to learn the roles and remember the recipes. i had to stand there and smile. at the end of the day, i was so tired that i almost could do nothing. after a few days of working, the head waiter told me that i could take charge as a chief. i knew if i worked hard, i would take charge of a room. it meant i can get more tip. i was glad to do that.

as new, it was not an easy thing to serve all customers well. sometimes, i dished up wrongly. or i forgot the customers requirements. what is worse, i overturned the plates twice. however, i could not be defeated because of these difficulties. one day, i was about to be off duty when three foreigners came here. because other colleagues could not speak english well, i had to stay to serve them. it was my first time to talk with a foreigner. however, suddenly, my mind was blank even though i had memorized 3000 words. how can i talk to them? i began to speak slowly, but think fast.

excuse me, what can i do for you? i said it word by word. at the same time, i showed them the menu.

no, we order ··· with some rice. they said so quickly that i seldom couldnt know what they wanted.

pardon? i asked with embarrassment.

oh, we want tomatoes and eggs. look at this, xi hong shi chao ji dan, he showed me a note with some chinese characters.

i got it. what else? i tried my best to keep calm as i could. i had no reason to laugh at them because of my bad english.

water, please. then, a pot of tea was on the table.

the more terrible thing was that the rice was sold out. how can i explain this to them? we were closing the store for the night. it was normal. however, we had been alternative.

hum, there is no rice left. how about noodles? like this and this. i felt embarrassed extremely. i could not translate the name to them and just showed the picture in the menu to them.

maybe they were hungry, or they had no choice. they agreed me.

they said something and laughed. i could hardly understand it. but it was not my business. the thing that i need to do was serve them more considerate.

they were eating and i was to go back to hostel.

before long, they finished their supper and said: how much?

so, i had to stay more minutes. i gave them the bill.

it is too expensive. they yelled. i knew it was too expensive here. but i had no idea.

i could do nothing for them, just smiled to them.

finally, i gave them the bills and i got rid of the serve.

it is memorable. each for it was the first time makes a dent in my heart. gaining self -confidence means half success. i believe myself and wont lose confidence any more.篇二：英文记叙文
