·Hard-working: common in China
·Studies：students are required to study hard (homework, tests).
·My parents always taught me to work hard and to be persistent.
·IELTS：busy schedule＋intensive course＝challenging
·In the future：a boss will appreciate this quality: responsible
Well, it is always very difficult to talk about oneself, but if you press meif you ask me), I would say that my main quality is that I am hard-working. You know, in China, it is a very common personality trait, because of the education we receive here.
First of all, at school, our teachers and parents always push us to work harder. In high school, we have so much homework, so many tests, and the competition is so intense to get into the prestigious universities, that every student is determined to study hard. We are required to be diligent.
In addition, my parents have always taught me that my efforts will be rewarded someday. My father always encouraged me to focus on my studies, and to never give up．He often reminded me to persist, especially before the final exams. My father is a successful businessman, and he has always worked very hard to make money and provide a comfortable lifestyle for my mother and me．I can regard him as a model in terms of ambition and determination.
These last two months, I have been studying in a training center in order to improve my English. It has been very challenging, and I followed a tight schedule, with daily classes mornings and afternoons．It has been tiring, but I did improve quite a lot. I believe in the saying "No pain, no gain."
I think that in the future I will get a good job and that my boss will be pleased with my attitude. I think that hard work is always appreciated, and I truly hope to make a decent salary in order to lead a comfortable life. On top of this, I should be able to find a good wife too, because women like reliable and meticulous men, right?
