  • 🧇☕🍩Indra, a frequent traveler, and his idea of a perfect breakfast (A2, exercises, sound files, useful vocabulary for staff (breakfast))🍩☕🧇

    Indra is a frequent traveler for work and holidays. He stays in many different hotels around the world. For him, a perfect breakfast is very important because it helps him start the day well.

    Indra thinks a breakfast should have a wide variety of food. There should be many choices for different guests. Some people like sweet food, and some people like salty food. A good hotel breakfast must offer both.

    First, Indra likes fresh bread. There should be rolls, toast, and croissants. The bread should be fresh every morning. Next to the bread, there should be butter, jam, honey, and cheese. These foods are simple, but very important for breakfast.

    Indra also likes healthy food. He thinks fruit is very important. There should be apples, bananas, oranges, and fruit salad. Yogurt and cereals are also good choices. Many guests like to eat something light and healthy in the morning.

    For drinks, Indra expects coffee, tea, water, and fruit juice. Orange juice is very popular. Milk should also be available. A good hotel should always offer fresh drinks for all guests.

    Indra also likes hot food at breakfast. There can be scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, sausages, and bacon. Pancakes or waffles are also nice. In some hotels, there is live cooking. A chef prepares eggs or omelettes in front of the guests. Indra thinks this is very good because the food is fresh and warm.

    Finally, Indra thinks the breakfast area should be clean and quiet. The staff should be friendly and help guests. The buffet should always be full and fresh.

    In conclusion, Indra says a perfect breakfast has many choices, fresh food, and good service. It should be simple, rich, and enjoyable for all guests.

    His Signature „Perfect Breakfast“ (B1)
    (The one he dreams about on red-eyes)
    Core Base:


    Fresh sourdough or rye toast. Lightly toasted, never soggy. Good butter and a little honey or olive oil on top.


    Protein Power:
    Soft scrambled eggs (or poached eggs if the hotel makes them well) + smoked salmon or prosciutto.
    If he wants something lighter, he has Greek yogurt with nuts.

    The Traveler’s Secret Weapon:
    Half an avocado. He mashes it with chili flakes, lime, and sea salt. It is creamy, filling, and much better than hotel pastries.

    Fresh & Bright:
    A small bowl of seasonal fruit — berries, papaya, or mango.
    If he is in the Mediterranean or Middle East, he also has a simple tomato-cucumber salad with herbs.

    The Drink Ritual:
    First: A flat white or strong pour-over coffee (oat milk on the side).
    Second: Fresh orange juice, green juice, or ginger-lemon tea when he feels jet lag.

    Portable Upgrade (for early flights):
    He prepares a „breakfast jar“ the night before — overnight oats with chia seeds, almond butter, banana, cinnamon, and protein powder. He adds fresh fruit from the hotel in the morning.

  • 😣🤗🙂Harassment in tourism – some thoughts (text, exercises, reading comprehension, A1, with bonus text in B1)🙂🤗😣


    Tourism means people travel to other places. Many tourists stay in hotels. Hotel staff work in hotels and help guests. Most hotels are safe and good places.

    Harassment means bad or rude behavior. It makes people feel unsafe or uncomfortable. In hotels, harassment can happen. A staff member can be rude to a guest. A guest can also be rude to hotel staff. Sometimes someone says bad words. Sometimes someone does not respect privacy. This is harassment.

    We can identify harassment when a person feels scared or unhappy. If someone is rude, or does not respect space, it can be harassment. If someone enters a room without permission, it is also harassment. People feel uncomfortable in these situations.

    If harassment happens, we must stay calm. We should say “No”. We should move away from the person. We should go to a safe place like the hotel reception. We should tell the hotel manager or security. We can also call the police if it is serious.

    To avoid harassment, we should be careful. Hotel staff should be polite and kind. They should respect guests. Guests should also be polite and follow hotel rules. We should respect each other.

    We should also keep doors locked. We should not open the door for strangers. We should ask for help if something is wrong.

    In conclusion, harassment is bad. Hotels should be safe. Respect and good behavior help everyone feel safe in tourism.

    Bonus text in B1:

    Tourism refers to the activity of people travelling from one place to another for leisure, business, or other personal reasons. During their journeys, many tourists choose to stay in hotels, which provide accommodation, services, and support throughout their visit. Hotel staff play an important role in ensuring guests feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. In general, most hotels are considered safe environments where people can relax and enjoy their stay.

    Harassment is understood as unwanted, rude, or inappropriate behaviour that causes discomfort, fear, or distress to another person. In hotel settings, harassment can occur in different situations and may involve either staff or guests. For example, a staff member might treat a guest disrespectfully, or a guest might behave inappropriately towards a staff member. Harassment can also include offensive language, ignoring personal boundaries, or failing to respect a person’s privacy.

    It is possible to identify harassment when someone feels unsafe, frightened, or uncomfortable in a situation. Behaviours such as invading personal space, using insulting language, or entering a hotel room without permission are clear examples of harassment. These actions often lead to emotional discomfort and a loss of trust in the environment.

    If harassment takes place, it is important to respond in a calm and controlled manner. The person affected should clearly say “no” to stop the behaviour, then remove themselves from the situation. They should move to a safe location, such as the hotel reception, where assistance is available. Reporting the incident to hotel management or security is also important. In serious cases, contacting the police may be necessary.

    Preventing harassment requires awareness and respectful behaviour from everyone involved. Hotel staff are expected to remain professional, polite, and supportive towards guests. At the same time, guests should follow hotel rules and treat staff and other visitors with respect. Mutual respect helps create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.

    In addition, personal safety measures are important. Guests should keep their room doors locked and avoid opening them to unknown individuals. If something feels wrong or unsafe, it is always better to seek help immediately from hotel staff or security personnel.

    In conclusion, harassment is unacceptable in any environment, including hotels. Maintaining respect, following rules, and practising good communication are essential for ensuring safety and comfort in tourism settings.

  • 🫵🏝️World Environment Day (June 5) – some thoughts (use World Environment Day in a real way, text, reading comprehension, sound files, B1, part 9/9)🏝️🫵

    June 5 should not only be marketing. It should lead to real action.

    Ideas:

    • Start a recycling program on that day
    • Plant trees with staff and guests
    • Stop single-use plastics from that date
    • Teach staff simple eco rules
    • Launch a “green stay” option for guests

    June 5 Should Not Only Be Marketing.
    It Should Lead to Real Action.

    June 5 is World Environment Day. Many hotels and companies post pictures and messages on social media. This is good, but it is not enough. We need real action, not only words.

    One good idea is to start a recycling program on that day. Staff can learn how to separate paper, plastic, glass, and food waste. This is easy and helps the environment every day.

    Another idea is to plant trees with staff and guests. It is a fun activity, and people can work together. Trees make the air cleaner and give homes to animals.

    Hotels can also stop using single-use plastics from June 5. They can use glass bottles, paper straws, and refillable soap bottles instead. This helps reduce waste.

    It is also important to teach staff simple eco rules, such as saving water, turning off lights, and using less paper. Small actions can make a big difference.

    Finally, hotels can offer a “green stay” option. Guests can choose not to change towels every day or use less energy. This helps the planet and shows that everyone can be part of the solution.

    12. Guests must change towels every day in all hotels.

  • 🫵🏝️World Environment Day (June 5)- some thoughts (help guests behave in a green way, text, sound files, B1, part 7/9)🏝️🫵

    Guests can also help protect the environment.

    What businesses can do:

    • Ask guests to reuse towels and bed sheets
    • Give rewards for eco-friendly choices
    • Offer bike rentals or public transport tips
    • Show simple signs about saving energy and water

    When guests understand what to do, they often help.

    #################


    Guests can help protect the environment when they stay in hotels or visit places. Businesses can support this by giving simple information and clear instructions to guests. For example, hotels can ask guests to reuse towels and bed sheets to save water and energy. They can also give small rewards for eco friendly choices like using less electricity or water.

    Another idea is to offer bike rentals or information about public transport to reduce car use. Clear signs in rooms and common areas can remind guests to save energy and water every day. When guests understand what to do they often act in a more responsible way. This helps reduce waste and protects natural resources for the future. It also lowers pollution and saves money for hotels and communities.

    Small actions like these make a big difference when many people take part together. Hotels can also train staff to remind guests in a friendly way about green habits during their stay. This creates a positive experience and encourages guests to care more about the environment every time they visit.

    Tourism can harm nature if it is not controlled. But it can also help protect it.

    What businesses can do:

    • Do not disturb animals in natural areas
    • Limit the number of visitors in sensitive places
    • Support beach cleaning or forest projects
    • Teach tourists how to behave in nature

    Example:
    Some travel programs work with UNEP to protect oceans, forests, and animals.

    ################

    Tourism can harm nature if it is not controlled. Many people travel to beaches, forests, and mountains every year. Sometimes tourists leave rubbish behind or disturb animals. Too many visitors can also damage natural areas. However, tourism can also help protect nature. For this reason, tourism businesses should take care of the environment.

    There are several ways businesses can help. First, they can make sure that tourists do not disturb animals in natural areas. Animals need safe places to live. Second, businesses can limit the number of visitors in sensitive places. This can reduce damage to nature. Businesses can also support beach cleaning and forest projects. These activities help keep nature clean and healthy.

    Another important step is teaching tourists how to behave in nature. For example, tourists should not leave rubbish on the ground and should stay on marked paths. Small actions can make a big difference.

    Some travel programs work with UNEP to protect oceans, forests, and animals. In this way, tourism can help protect nature instead of harming it.

  • 🫵🏝️World Environment Day (June 5) – some thoughts (buy local food and products, B1, part 5/9)🏝️🫵

    Transporting food from far away creates pollution.

    What businesses can do:

    • Buy food from local farms
    • Use seasonal fruits and vegetables
    • Offer more plant-based meals
    • Reduce food waste in kitchens

    Example:
    Many hotels working with Marriott International try to buy more local food. This helps farmers nearby and reduces transport pollution.

    ###################

    Transporting food from far away creates a lot of pollution. Today, many kinds of food travel very long distances before they arrive at hotels, restaurants, and shops. Food is often moved by trucks, ships, and planes. These vehicles use a lot of fuel and produce harmful gases. This causes pollution and is bad for the environment. For this reason, businesses should try to reduce the distance that food travels.

    There are several ways businesses can help. First, they can buy food from local farms. Local food does not need to travel far, so less fuel is used. Second, businesses can use seasonal fruits and vegetables. These foods are grown at the right time of the year and are often available nearby. Businesses can also offer more plant-based meals. Meals made with vegetables, beans, and other plant foods often have a smaller effect on the environment. Another important step is reducing food waste in kitchens. If less food is thrown away, fewer resources are wasted.

    For example, many hotels working with Marriott International try to buy more local food. This helps local farmers and reduces pollution from transport. In this way, businesses can help protect the environment.

    Hotels use a lot of water for showers, laundry, cleaning, and gardens.

    What businesses can do:

    • Put signs to ask guests to reuse towels
    • Use low-water toilets and showers
    • Fix water leaks quickly
    • Use plants that need less water
    • Reuse water for gardens if possible

    This is very important in places where water is limited.

    Hotels use a lot of water every day. Guests need water for showers. Hotels also use water to wash clothes, clean rooms, and water gardens. In many places water is not enough so hotels should save water.

    There are many simple ways hotels can save water. They can put signs in bathrooms and ask guests to use towels again. This helps use less water for washing. Hotels can use toilets and showers that use less water.

    They should check water pipes and fix leaks fast. Even small leaks can waste a lot of water. Hotels can also use plants that need little water in gardens. They can reuse water for gardens when it is safe.

    Saving water is important for hotels and for the future. Guests can also help by taking shorter showers and telling staff about problems. These small actions make a big difference in saving water every day.

    Hotels and guests should work together to protect water for everyone. It is good for nature and helps people in the future. Water saving is very important all the time.
