-three main reasons why she enjoys her job

---

My name is Chantrea, and I love working in tourism, especially in a hotel. There are three main reasons why I enjoy my job.

The first reason is that I meet people from all over the world. Every day, guests come from different countries, and they tell me about their lives and cultures. I like talking with them and learning new things. Sometimes they teach me words in their language, and sometimes they tell me about their hometowns. It makes my day exciting.

The second reason is that my job is never boring. Each day is different. One day I help guests with their travel plans, another day I organize small events, and sometimes I solve problems. I like finding solutions and making sure guests are happy. Every situation is new, and that keeps my work interesting.

The third reason is my team. I work with friendly and helpful colleagues. We support each other, share ideas, and make sure everything in the hotel runs well. It feels good to be part of a strong team.

These three reasons—meeting people, having different days, and working with a great team—make tourism the best job for me.

• a unique jungle resort in Cambodia that saves wildlife and supports local people

Shinta Mani Wild is a resort in the jungle of Cambodia. It is in the Cardamom Mountains,

a place with waterfalls, rivers, and many animals. The idea of this resort is very special. It is not only for luxury holidays, but also to protect nature and help local people.

Before the resort was built, this land had many problems. People cut down trees and hunted animals. The owners wanted to save this area, so they made a private wildlife sanctuary. Now rangers protect the forest every day. The money from guests helps pay for these rangers and for other nature projects.

The resort also helps people from nearby villages. Many workers are local and get training for new jobs. Some were hunters before and now work to save animals instead. This gives them money and a better life.

Guests can stay in large tents near the river. They can join activities like jungle walks, kayaking, and even patrols with rangers. The resort uses eco‑friendly designs to keep nature safe.

The main concept of Shinta Mani Wild is to mix tourism with conservation. Guests enjoy nature, and at the same time, they help protect it and support local communities.

The Shinta Mani Foundation is in Cambodia. It helps poor families in the countryside. The Foundation gives training, houses, clean water, and solar lights to people who need them.

Rice for Cambodia is a partner. It gives rice and other help to many families every month. Both groups work together and make life better for many people.

Try to imagine the joy that ten families feel this week. No candle light anymore, they turn on a light in their home for the first time in their lives. Now each house has solar panels on the roof. Inside the house there are three lights. The family can also charge their phone. This makes life much easier. Children can study in the evening. Parents can work or cook when it is dark.

We thank Rice for Cambodia and every donor. Their kindness makes a big change in people’s lives. Every gift helps a family. With solar lights and rice, families feel safe and happy. They have hope for the future. The Shinta Mani Foundation and Rice for Cambodia continue this work every day. They bring light and hope to the countryside.

A brief summary of SOLAR POWER:

Solar power comes from sunlight.
Solar panels change sunlight into electricity.
A solar panel has many small parts called solar cells.
These cells are made from a material called silicon.
When sunlight hits the cells, it makes a flow of energy.
This flow is called electricity.
The electricity goes through wires to the house.
People can use it for lights, phones, or other things.
If there is more electricity than needed, it can be saved in batteries. Solar power is clean and does not make pollution.
It is very useful in the countryside, where there are no power lines.
Families can have light and charge phones without fuel or big machines.

I worked at a spa in a nice resort in Siem Reap. Every day, I helped guests and made them feel welcome. The spa was quiet and calm, with soft music and nice smells from natural oils and herbs.

I started my day by cleaning the rooms and getting everything ready for the guests. When they arrived, I greeted them with a smile and told them about the treatments we had.

The spa offered many services to help people relax and feel good. We did traditional massages with soft pressure and natural oils. These massages helped the body relax and feel better. We also did body scrubs with fresh fruit and salt. This made the skin soft and clean. Another service was hot stone therapy, where warm stones helped muscles feel relaxed.

Guests could get facials with natural ingredients like ginger and turmeric. We used warm and cool stones on the face to make the skin healthy and fresh.

There were also special spa packages that included massage, scrub, facial, and foot care. Guests liked these long treatments very much.

At the end of the day, I helped guests feel happy and calm. I enjoyed working there because I met many people from different countries.

How a poor family of five got a new home, clean water, and a small business

A long time ago, one family of five lived in Cambodia. They were very poor. Their house was broken, and they had no toilet and no clean water. Life was very hard for them. The parents worked in the fields, but they did not earn enough money to send their children to school.

The Shinta Mani Foundation came to their village and decided to help. The foundation built a new house for the family. It was strong and safe. They also built a toilet and a well so the family had clean water for drinking and washing.

The children received bicycles to ride to school. This made it easy for them to study every day. The parents got a microloan from the foundation. With this money, they started a small business selling dried fish in the local market.

Today they are independent and can take care of themselves. The house and toilet keep them healthy, and the well gives them safe water.

The Story of the Word “Marathon”

A long time ago, in ancient Greece, there was a big war between the Greeks and the Persians. The battle happened in a place called Marathon. The Greeks won the battle even though the Persian army was very large.

After the battle, a Greek soldier named Pheidippides had an important job. He needed to run from Marathon to Athens to tell the people the good news that the Greeks won. The distance between Marathon and Athens is about 42 kilometers, which is a very long way to run.

Pheidippides ran as fast as he could without stopping. When he reached Athens, he shouted, “We have won!” and then he became very tired and died. This story shows great courage and strength.

Because of this story, people started the marathon race. The marathon race is 42.195 kilometers long, which is the same distance Pheidippides ran. The first marathon race was held during the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 in Athens, Greece.

Today, the marathon is a famous running race all over the world. It reminds us to be strong, brave, and never give up.

Memories of a young lady, now Director of Food and Beverages at the Sheraton Senggigi

---

I worked as a waitress in a small restaurant. Every day I tried to be a perfect waitress. I always woke up early in the morning because I wanted to be ready and not feel stressed. First, I ate breakfast and checked my uniform. It had to be clean and nice, so the guests felt good when they saw me.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I smiled and said hello to my coworkers. I thought being friendly was very important. Before the guests came, I cleaned the tables, put on fresh tablecloths, and prepared the menus. When the guests arrived, I welcomed them with a big smile. I always listened carefully to what they wanted to eat and drink. If they had questions, I answered politely and tried to help.

Sometimes guests were in a hurry, so I brought the food quickly. Sometimes they wanted to talk, so I listened to them. I always checked if everything was fine at the table. At the end of the day, I cleaned again and said goodbye to everyone.

I believed a perfect waitress was kind, patient, and always ready to help. That was what I tried to do every day.

• how to…………, some advice by a professional

My name is Channary, and I work as a waitress in a small restaurant. Every day I try to be a perfect waitress. I always wake up early in the morning, because I want to be ready and not feel stressed. First, I eat breakfast and check my uniform. It must be clean and nice, so the guests feel good when they see me.

When I arrive at the restaurant, I smile and say hello to my coworkers. I think being friendly is very important. Before the guests come, I clean the tables, put on fresh tablecloths, and prepare the menus. When the guests arrive, I welcome them with a big smile. I always listen carefully to what they want to eat and drink. If they have questions, I answer politely and try to help.

Sometimes guests are in a hurry, so I bring the food quickly. Sometimes they want to talk, so I listen to them. I always check if everything is fine at the table. At the end of the day, I clean again and say goodbye to everyone.

I believe a perfect waitress is kind, patient, and always ready to help. That is what I try to do every day.
