  • 🥹🥹Mass tourism killing nature?(A2, present simple, text, exercises, sound files))🥹🥹

    • before and after

    The pictures show a big change in a natural place because of mass tourism. In the first picture, the mountain is green and clean. There are many trees, flowers, and a small river. A few people walk on the path and enjoy nature. The place looks peaceful and beautiful. Tourists respect the environment and leave the area clean.

    In the second picture, the same place looks very different. Many tourists visit the mountain, and they leave rubbish everywhere. There are many people, cars, and buildings. Trees are cut down, and nature is damaged. The air is dirty, and animals lose their homes. Mass tourism creates many problems because too many people come to the same place.

    Tourism is good because it helps local people and brings money. However, too many tourists can destroy nature. People sometimes throw rubbish, damage plants, and do not respect the environment. A beautiful place can become dirty and unsafe.

    We can avoid these problems in many ways. Tourists should take their rubbish with them and follow the rules. They should walk more and use fewer cars. Governments should limit the number of visitors and protect natural areas. People should remember: “Take only memories, leave only footprints.”

    In conclusion, mass tourism changes places in a bad way when people do not care. We need responsible tourism to keep nature clean and beautiful for the future.

    Remember how babies learn a language:

    Babies learn a language by listening.
    They use their ears to hear sounds.
    Their brain remembers these sounds.
    Babies connect sounds with people and things.
    They listen to their parents.
    Then they copy the sounds they hear. They imitate words.
    Slowly, babies learn to speak.


    So,

  • 💁‍♀️🐶😍Your eleventh English text for ‚very‘ beginners – Lina and Salas, visiting relatives (A1 beginners, part 11/13)💁‍♀️🐶😍1)

    Lina and Salas are siblings. Every year, they visit their relatives. Their relatives live on a big lake. Some live in stilted houses. The houses are on long wooden poles over the water. Other relatives live in floating houses. These houses stay on the water and move a little with the wind.

    First, Lina, Salas, their mother, and their father go by bus. The bus ride is long, but it is nice. They look out of the window. They see green fields, trees, small villages, and many birds. At last, they arrive at the lake. Their relatives are happy to see them.

    The relatives live by fishing. Every morning, they go out in small boats. They catch fish in the lake. Lina and Salas watch them. Sometimes they help to carry the fish. Their mother cooks fresh fish for lunch. Their father talks and laughs with the family. In the afternoon, Lina and Salas play near the water. They watch the boats and feed the ducks.

    They stay for three days. Then they say goodbye and go home by bus. They are tired but happy. Every year, they make the same trip because they love their family and the beautiful lake.

    Remember how babies learn a language:

    Babies learn a language by listening.
    They use their ears to hear sounds.
    Their brain remembers these sounds.
    Babies connect sounds with people and things.
    They listen to their parents.
    Then they copy the sounds they hear. They imitate words.
    Slowly, babies learn to speak.

    • How Nara worked hard, made guests happy, and became a great role model

    Nara is a General Manager in a luxury hotel in Cambodia today. She is the leader of a big team, but she often thinks about her past. Many years ago, she started her career at the front desk of a hotel. She was an excellent worker, and everyone thought she was the perfect front desk agent.

    Nara had many great qualities for her job. She was always polite, patient, and kind to everyone. Every morning, she came to work with a big, warm smile. She also spoke English well and listened carefully to the guests.

    She did many things to make the hotel guests happy. When tired travelers arrived after long flights, Nara welcomed them quickly. She offered them cold water and fresh towels to make them comfortable. She finished the check-in process fast so the guests could rest in their rooms. Nara always tried to help people. She gave guests excellent recommendations for local restaurants and markets in Cambodia. If a guest had a problem with their room, Nara fixed it immediately.

    Today, Nara is a great role model for her team and for young people in Cambodia. She shows everyone that hard work can change your life. She started at the bottom, but now she is the boss. She is a role model because she still works hard, respects her team, and teaches them with patience. She shows her staff how to care for guests with love, just like she did on her very first day.
