1My routine as a waiter.

I am a Brazilian waiter working in a busy restaurant. My daily routine starts with setting up (arrumar/organizar) the tables and making sure everything is clean and ready for customers (clientes).

I greet the guests (convidados) with a smile and show them to their seats (os levo aos seus lugares). Then, I take their orders (anoto os pedidos), writing everything down carefully. Since we get (recebemos) many tourists, knowing how to speak English is very helpful.

Throughout (durante) the day, I serve food and drinks, making sure everyone is happy with their meals. I also handle (lido com) any special requests (pedidos) or problems that come up (surgir/aparecer). At the end of their meal, I bring the bill (conta) and hope to earn (ganhar) good tips (gorjetas) for my service.

After my shift (turno) , I clean up and get ready for the next day. It’s a busy job (trabalho agitado/corrido) , but I enjoy meeting new people and practicing my English.
