Andy is a very motivated student and would benefit from help improving his grammar and new vocabulary with lots of conversation practice and exercises. He is also a kind person. It has been a pleasure to help him learning Spanish. I look forward to our next lesson.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF BEING AN AMBASSADOR
Representing your country abroad is one of the best things we you can get to do in your life. Some people stand it out for their nations at sporting events like the Olympics or the World Cup, some others stand out when winning an international recognition (not quite the right use of the word - try accolade for example) such as the Nobel Prize or the Oscars. One of the most prestigious and well-known professions that gives you the opportunity to represent your country’s values and culture is working as an ambassador. Ambassadors represent their country’s cultural, social, political and economic interests through foreign relations work while pushing for protection for it’s nations citizens abroad. But, just as any other profession, being an ambassador has its advantages and disadvantages.
First of all, an ambassador has some benefits that you cannot have in any other profession. One of these benefits is travelling. As an ambassador you get to visit different countries around the world, and you get paid for it. The best part of this is that you would get to know the culture and traditions of a new country, and learn a new language, because without speaking the local language you would not be able to do your job. Another advantage is the opportunity to represent your country and influence its image overseas. Many countries have gone through difficult situations in the last past century and this has created stereotypes about their citizens. For instance, Colombia had significant problems with drug dealing some years ago and this has had an effect on what people think about Colombians. But, an ambassador could change that,. As an ambassador you could show foreigners the good side of his your country, and this would change the perception that people might have about your people.
However, there are some disadvantages as well. One downside is relocation. Not only do ambassadors live and work abroad, they are also asked to relocate without notification. As I mentioned before, exploring a new culture is a great experience. Nevertheless, it would not be that great if you do did not have much time to prepare yourself and your family for it. Getting a new posting without being notifying notified makes it more difficult learning a new language and adapting to a new culture. Furthermore, being an ambassador is a stressful occupation. Ambassadors have to know the rules of etiquette at each new posting, and they have to behave properly in their the country where they are working....
