For example: I am a reliable worker. I am punctual.
You can also describe how you demonstrate the qualities you have by giving examples.
I am punctual. I use my time effectively and produce work on time.
Task 1:
For each of the nouns, write an adjective that can describe a person.Then put it in sentence of your own.
