Hi Eddy!

You're doing a great job connecting your knowledge from work to your writing, which makes your answer feel natural and well-informed. It’s great to see you using real-world examples to explain your ideas! Your understanding of tariffs is clear, and you’ve made a strong connection between tariffs and their role in protecting local markets.

To improve, try expanding on your ideas a little more, for example, you could briefly mention how tariffs impact businesses like yours. Do they make trade more difficult or open up new opportunities? Adding a bit more depth will make your answer even stronger.

Also, your confidence in discussing work-related topics in English is impressive. Keep practicing, and soon, you’ll be able to explain even more complex business concepts with ease. Great effort. Keep going!
