    Subject: A Day in Siem Reap

    Hi Oliver,

    I want to tell you about a typical day here in Cambodia.

    Mia, my sister, gets up at 7 o’clock. I get up at the same time. We brush our teeth and get dressed. Then we go to breakfast with Mum and Dad. I eat pancakes and fruit. Mia drinks orange juice.

    After breakfast, we visit a temple. We take photos and walk around. The temples are big and old. I like them a lot.

    At noon, we go to a market. We see many things – clothes, toys, and food. I buy a small bag.

    In the afternoon, we swim in the hotel pool. Mia jumps in the water. I play with her. It is very fun.

    In the evening, we eat dinner at a restaurant. I eat noodles. After dinner, we walk in the night market. It is busy and loud.

    At 8 o’clock, we watch an Apsara dance show. It is very pretty.

    See you soon!

    Lara

    some thoughts ´……

    How to make the most of my 10 months at Shinta Mani Foundation

    Studying at the Shinta Mani Foundation is a great opportunity for me. I feel proud and excited to be part of this program. In these 10 months, I want to learn as much as possible. To do that, I will come to school every day and always arrive on time. I will listen carefully to my teachers, take notes, and ask questions when I don’t understand something.

    English is very important in the hospitality and tourism industry, so I will practice it every day. I will try to speak and write in English as much as I can. If I meet tourists, I will try to talk to them to improve my speaking skills.

    I will also be respectful, polite, and friendly to my teachers, classmates, and guests. In hospitality, it’s important to be helpful and work well in a team.

    I will study hard in both theory and practice. I want to learn how to clean rooms, welcome guests, and solve problems in a hotel.

    After the course, I hope to get a good job and help my family. My dream is to become a professional and successful person.

  • How to Achieve Mental Health and Well-Being (A1)

    – some thoughts

    It is important to have a healthy mind. A healthy mind helps us feel happy and do well at work and school.

    To have a healthy mind, we need to take care of our feelings and thoughts. Sometimes, we feel stress or worry. This is normal. But we can learn to feel calm and strong.

    One way to feel calm is to breathe slowly and deeply. This helps our body and mind relax. We can also think about good things to feel happy.

    It is good to talk about our feelings with friends, family, or someone we trust. Talking helps us feel better.

    Helping others and working together is also good for our mind. When we are kind and share, we feel good inside.

    It is important to rest and have breaks. When we rest, our mind and body get strong.

    When we take care of our mind, we feel confident. We can solve problems better and enjoy life.

    Mental health means feeling good inside. Taking care of our mind is as important as learning new skills.

    some thoughts ´……


    How to get the most out of my 10 months at Shinta Mani Foundation

    Studying at the Shinta Mani Foundation is a great chance for me. I feel happy and proud to be part of this program. I want to learn everything I can in these 10 months. To do that, I will come to school every day and always be on time. I will listen carefully to my teachers and take notes. I will ask questions if I don’t understand something.

    I know English is very important in the hotel and tourism industry. So, I will practice speaking and writing English every day. I will talk to tourists if I get the chance, and I will try to use English in my daily life.

    I will also be respectful and friendly to my teachers, classmates, and guests. Being kind and helpful is important in hospitality. I want to be a good team member.

    I will work hard in both theory and practical classes. I want to learn how to work in a hotel, clean rooms, welcome guests, and solve problems.

    After this course, I hope to find a good job and help support my family. I want to be a successful and professional person in the future. This is my dream.

  • Mt. Kulen – worth going there? (B1)

    You work in the restaurant of a hotel;
    when serving dinner to guests at a table a guest asks you if he and his family should go to Mt. Kulen and the waterfalls.
    You provide information on the trip.


    Yes, Phnom Kulen and the waterfall are worth visiting, especially if you enjoy nature and history. Phnom Kulen is a mountain about 1.5 hours from Siem Reap. It is a special place for Cambodian people because it is where the Khmer Empire began.

    One of the best parts of the trip is the big waterfall. You can swim there and relax. The water is cool and fresh, and the area is very green and quiet. Many local people go there on weekends to enjoy nature with their families.

    On the mountain, you can also see the “River of a Thousand Lingas.” These are old carvings in the riverbed, made hundreds of years ago. At the top of the mountain, there is a large reclining Buddha statue. From there, you can enjoy a nice view.

    The road going up is a bit bumpy, and there is an entrance fee. It’s a good idea to go in the morning and bring water, sunblock, and comfortable shoes.
