I work for a travel agency and my daily role is to sell airplane tickets, talk to the passenger and inform them about almost everything for them to have a wonderful trip, and for that, I am responsible to inform the timetable of the flight, checkin start, rules of iata system, etc.

For me, my English level is Intermediate, but I know that I have so many requirements. So, I decided to start learning from Elementary level.

Hi,
I have made the test of my English level.
The result was that I have upper-intermediate level but I need to review everything before to go to Advanced level, Just to be sure

I would suggest you take the English language level tests at a couple of other platforms such as BBClearningenglish and Cambridge English. Also, you need to brush up on your grammar as there were three mistakes in the sentence you wrote.

Good Morning,

By the way I'm new here & I like so much this website 😍!!
& this is my my response for this question

"Do you sometimes help other people with their work? What do you do for them?"

If somebody asks me for a help I do directly with pleasure however what is my situation, I give the help first and that make me happy.

Thank you! & have a good day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
