    Lina and Salas are sister and brother. They live with their mother and father on a small farm. Their parents are busy farmers. They grow vegetables and collect fresh eggs every day.

    Lina and Salas go to school from Monday to Friday.

    After school, they help their parents. Lina carries water to the chickens. Salas washes the vegetables and puts them into big boxes.

    Their grandparents live near the farm. They have four friendly cows. Sometimes Lina and Salas visit them after school. They help feed the cows and drink fresh milk. The grandparents are kind and tell funny stories. They also have a small garden with beautiful flowers.

  • 😎🥳🙂‍↕️Experience more than a stay, GM says – some thoughts (A2, text, reading comprehension, sound files)🙂🥳😎

    Discover unforgettable places, hidden gems, and local adventures waiting just beyond your room.

    Today, a luxury hotel is not only about a nice room and good service. Guests want more. They want to enjoy new places, learn about the local culture, and create special memories. We have the chance to show our guests the beauty of our destination and help them discover interesting places and activities. By offering these experiences, we can make every guest stay more special and unforgettable.
    (GM)


    Dear Team,

    Today, I want to share an important idea with you: “Experience More Than a Stay.”

    As a luxury hotel, we do not only give our guests a room. We give them a complete experience. Our guests come from many countries and they choose to stay with us because they want something special. They want comfort, good service, and beautiful memories.

    A hotel stay is not only about a bed, a restaurant, or a swimming pool. It is also about the place around us. Our destination has many wonderful things to offer. We have local culture, beautiful nature, interesting traditions, great food, and special places that many visitors do not know.

    Our job is to help our guests discover these experiences.

    When a guest stays with us, we should ask ourselves: “How can we make this stay better?” Maybe a guest wants to see a famous landmark. Maybe they want to try local food. Maybe they want a quiet day in nature or a special activity with their family. We can help them find the right experience.

    We should not think of excursions and sightseeing trips only as extra services. They are a way to create happiness and special memories for our guests. A guest may forget some details of their room, but they will remember a beautiful sunset, a local dinner, a friendly guide, or a special moment they shared with their family.

    Every team member has an important role. The front office team can share ideas when guests arrive. The concierge team can recommend the best places. The restaurant team can talk about local food and traditions. Housekeeping and all other departments can also share their knowledge and help guests enjoy their stay.

    Small conversations can make a big difference. A simple recommendation can change a normal holiday into an unforgettable journey.

    Luxury is not only about beautiful rooms and excellent service. Luxury is also about feelings, experiences, and memories. Our goal is to help our guests enjoy not only our hotel but also the wonderful destination around us.

    Together, we can create stays that guests will remember for many years. Let us help every guest discover more, experience more, and enjoy more.

    Thank you for your dedication and your support.

    BONUS TEXT

    Structured version – and more ideas

    Hotels can increase guest interest in excursions, sightseeing trips, and activities by making them feel easy, personal, and valuable rather than simply selling tours. The key is to integrate experiences into the guest journey.

    Here are effective strategies:

    1. Present experiences at the right moment

    Guests are more likely to book when the offer appears at the right time:

    • Before arrival: Send a pre-arrival email with curated experiences:
      • “Make the most of your 4 days in Vienna”
      • “Top experiences we recommend for your stay”
      • “Reserve your preferred tours before they sell out”
    • At check-in: Train reception staff to ask:
      • “Is this your first time in the area?”
      • “Would you like us to recommend some experiences during your stay?”
    • During the stay: Use:
      • QR codes in rooms
      • TV welcome screens
      • WhatsApp messages
      • Digital guest directories

    Example:

    “Tomorrow’s weather looks perfect for a lake cruise. We can reserve seats for you at reception.”


    2. Sell experiences, not excursions

    Guests are not buying a bus tour; they are buying memories.

    Instead of:

    “City sightseeing tour – €45”

    Use:

    “Discover the hidden streets, local cafés, and historic stories of Vienna with a private local guide.”

    Focus on:

    • Unique experiences
    • Local culture
    • Authentic moments
    • Convenience
    • Emotions

    3. Create attractive packages

    Combine accommodation with experiences:

    Examples:

    • Romantic Escape Package
      • Room + sunset boat trip + wine tasting
    • Family Adventure Package
      • Room + zoo tickets + child-friendly activity
    • Culture Weekend
      • Breakfast + museum tickets + guided city walk
    • Nature Experience
      • Hiking tour + picnic basket + transport

    Packages make the decision easier.


    4. Use hotel staff as experience ambassadors

    Receptionists and concierge teams have a major influence.

    Train staff to:

    • Share personal recommendations
    • Mention activities naturally
    • Match suggestions to guest profiles

    Examples:

    Couple:

    “Many couples enjoy the evening river cruise — it’s a beautiful way to see the city.”

    Family:

    “If you have children, the wildlife park nearby is usually a highlight.”

    Business traveler:

    “If you have a free afternoon, we can arrange a short city tour.”


    5. Make booking effortless

    The more steps required, the fewer guests will book.

    Offer:

    • One-click booking links
    • Reception booking
    • WhatsApp reservations
    • Mobile app integration
    • Tickets delivered directly to guests

    Avoid:

    • Long forms
    • Guests having to search online themselves
    • Unclear prices

    6. Use visual inspiration

    People book what they can imagine.

    Show:

    • Beautiful photos
    • Short videos
    • Guest testimonials
    • “What your day looks like” itineraries

    Example:

    Morning
    ☕ Local breakfast
    🚲 Guided bike tour

    Afternoon
    🍷 Wine tasting
    🏰 Castle visit

    Evening
    🌅 Sunset viewpoint


    7. Add exclusive hotel benefits

    Make guests feel they get something special:

    • Hotel guest discount
    • Priority booking
    • Free transportation
    • Welcome drink
    • Complimentary souvenir photo
    • VIP access

    Example:

    “Only for our guests: 10% discount on the evening castle tour.”


    8. Use recommendations based on guest data

    Personalization increases conversion.

    Examples:

    • Couples → romantic activities
    • Families → attractions for children
    • International guests → must-see highlights
    • Repeat guests → new discoveries

    A returning guest should not receive the same suggestions every time.


    9. Partner with local providers

    Create partnerships with:

    • Tour companies
    • Museums
    • Restaurants
    • Wineries
    • Adventure providers
    • Transport companies

    Negotiate:

    • Commission
    • Exclusive offers
    • Priority access
    • Joint marketing

    10. Create urgency without being pushy

    Guests often postpone decisions.

    Use:

    • “Limited availability”
    • “Best booked 24 hours in advance”
    • “Popular during weekends”
    • “Weather-dependent experience”

    Example:

    “Only a few places remain for tomorrow’s guided mountain tour.”


    11. Encourage reviews and social sharing

    Experiences create emotional memories.

    After the activity:

    • Ask guests for photos
    • Encourage social media sharing
    • Offer a small incentive (where appropriate)

    A guest who shares a beautiful excursion indirectly markets it to future guests.


    12. Measure what works

    Track:

    • Which excursions sell most
    • Booking channel
    • Guest type
    • Seasonality
    • Conversion rate

    Then adjust your offers.


    A simple hotel strategy could be:

    Before arrival:
    “Here are our top 5 local experiences”

    ⬇️

    Check-in:
    Reception recommends one personalized activity

    ⬇️

    During stay:
    QR code + WhatsApp reminders

    ⬇️

    After stay:
    Ask for feedback and promote future visits

    The strongest approach is to position excursions as part of the guest experience, not as an additional sale.

  • 🧇☕🍩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.
