Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
My first week working in a restaurant, one of the servers said something that stuck with me: Everyone should work in a restaurant for at least a year.At the time, I didn't get it, but I took the advice to heart and worked in restaurants on and off for the next eight years.Before realizing it, I mastered many important skills, one of which is communication skill.
When I was little, I was so shy that I used to hide behind my mom whenever someone spoke to me.And when I first started in restaurants, I had two personalities: Restaurant Lizzy and Home Lizzy.It was easier to pretend to be a different person while at work, since it was so different from who I actually was.But gradually, the skills I learned working in restaurants helped Home Lizzy come out of her shell in the real world.
When you work in a restaurant, you don't have the luxury of hiding behind your parents to avoid talking to people.I'm still 110% an introvert, but restaurant work helped me communicate.Working in a restaurant not only helped me speak clearly, deliberately and directly but also taught me how to talk about almost everything.Some guests don't want their servers to interact too much with them, and that's fine.But some sit at the bar simply to chat with you.You learn how to judge your guests' level of interest in communicating with you, and how to exit a conversation at the appropriate time.
My restaurant work is something that I'm most proud of and I know I wouldn't be the person I am today without those eight years of experience.If you're still on the fence about working in a restaurant for that long, start with one year.I doubt that you'll look back.
