Example:
Speaking English at work is a major challenge for me. I also have a difficult time understanding my boss when he speaks to me.
This is a challenge because I want to be promoted to make more money. I can only get promoted if I can speak English better. My friend was promoted to supervisor because she speaks English better than me. She makes more money than me now.
I hope to take more English classes to improve my English skills. I hope by next year I will be able to apply for a job that pays more. I work hard and I want to make more money to support my family better.
