    Digital Technology in Hotels and Tourism

    Digital technology is important for hotels and travel. People use apps, social media, and websites. These tools make work and travel easier.

    Apps help tourists find hotels, restaurants, and tours. People can see pictures, prices, and reviews. They can book rooms or tours with an app. Apps help staff too. Workers can check bookings, see free rooms, and send messages to guests.

    Social media is very useful. Hotels and travel companies use Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. They show photos and videos. Tourists see the posts and want to visit. Social media helps staff answer questions and help guests quickly.

    Online booking websites, like Booking.com, let tourists book hotels, flights, and tours. Staff need to know how to use computers, apps, and websites.

    Digital technology makes tourism easier. Young people who want to work in hotels or travel should learn apps, social media, and booking websites. These skills help them get good jobs.

    Some thoughts:

    I think English is a very important language. Many people in the world speak English.
    When we work in tourism, we meet many tourists. Many tourists speak English. When we speak English, we can talk with them. We can help them find a room. We can help them take a car or a bus.
    Tourists feel happy when they understand us. When we speak English, we can get a better job. We can work in hotels, restaurants, and travel places. We can also work in other countries. We can get more money.
    English helps us every day at work. English is good for us and for the tourists. This is why I want to learn English.
    And so does her friend, Rina.

    Maya and life on a weekend

    Maya is a young girl. She lives with her parents in the countryside. The air is fresh, and the nature around her house is green and quiet.

    On weekends, Maya sleeps a little longer in the morning. She does not need to go to school. After breakfast, she helps her father and mother. Sometimes she helps in the garden. She waters the flowers and feeds the chickens.

    Later, she plays with her friends near the house. They run, laugh, and play games together. Maya likes this time very much.

    In the afternoon, she does her homework. She learns new words and writes sentences. Maya also learns for school. She wants to speak good English. She reads easy English books. She also listens to English texts.

    Maya knows that listening is very important. The ear and brain must get used to the sounds. She listens again and again. Step by step, she understands more.

    In the evening, she sits with her parents. They talk about the day. Maya feels happy and safe. She loves her weekends in the countryside. She works, plays, and learns — and every week, she becomes better at English.
