Think of something you’ve done that you have a put lot of effort into.

I want to tell you about my job. I have been working at Ministry of Trade for 6 years as a customs
inspector. My job is quite difficult considering some of its aspects/element/features. First of all, you
must always be available for travelling. For this reason, if you have an issue with always being on a
journey, you ought to/should choose another job. I vividly remember I had a hard time working here
in my first year due to the same principal. Since you always stay in different/a variety of cities, sites,
and hotels. I spent 2 years of waiting at the airport with heavy luggage, long walks and wondering
about unknown areas. After all this time, I started to get used to this lifestyle. Later on, when I was
working there for the third year, I took an exam, which I passed and with which achievement I
brought myself the benefit of travelling less often. So, I would say if someone has the patience of
working in that difficult condition for nearly 2 years, they may pass it through and consequently, have
a great job.

In my 3rd year, it became important for me to learn a deeper and more technical form of writing and
data processing. While in your first years, you may have plenty of assistance on reports, from this
moment it is all on your own shoulder. You must be patient and work hard if you want to complete
this process successfully. I would also like to add that I am actually pretty good at writing reports, and
I enjoy travelling. But still, this procedure put me in a lot of pressure during my early years.

Where do you work and is your job difficult?

Stage 1: answer the question  I’ve been working at the Ministry of Trades for 6 years. Whether it is
easy or hard to work there depends on the person.

Stage 2: reasoning  The thing is, a person who starts working there will be required to travel
around the country very often, and I can fairly say that it is NOT for everyone and it could be tough.

Stage 3: example  For instance, when I first started there, I rapidly travelled to different cities,
stayed in different hotels and walked into a variety of offices and rooms for inspection, which, even
though I’m a fan of having journeys, came to be quite difficult for me.
