REMEMBER TO ASK POLITELY
When dealing with customers (tourists, guests, etc), it is very important to be polite to them so that they feel that they are being treated in a special way.
Indirect Questions in English allow us to be able to ask certain questions while sounding more polite than if we used a simple direct question.
Have a look at the following presentation in which you will find different expressions to start using indirect questions.

Times seem to be changing
and we are witnessing new creative ways to get passengers´ attention to
the important flight safety instructions. Let´s see these two entertaining
ways to present such instructions:
Flight attendants who rap:

Flight attendants who dance:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqh8e2KYIrU&feature=player_embedded
So which approach do you prefer as a passenger, the traditional one or the creative one? Do you really think passengers pay more attention to flight safety instructions with the rap and the dancing?

PRONUNCIATION BASICS
Learning the sounds of a new language can sometimes be
tough for some students, especially those sounds that are inexistent in
their mother tongue. It is very important to be able to
communicate successfully what we want to say and sometimes pronunciation
becomes an issue as communication can break down due to words being
pronounced incorrectly.
Here is a funny video about it:

WRITING: Create your own CV online
When you apply for a job, it is usual to include a curriculum vitae, or CV (called résumé in the US).
This is a list of your personal details, educational history,
qualifications, experience, and interests—that is to say, the story of
your life from a professional point of view.
Europass is a new way of helping people to make
their skills and qualifications clearly and easily understood in Europe
(European Union, EFTA/EEA and candidate countries) and move anywhere in
Europe.

READING: Eco-friendly vacations
Many
of you may have heard terms such as Ecotourism, Sustainable Tourism,
etc. Nowadays more and more tourists are concerned about the impact
their visit may have on the environment and culture of the place
visited. As more regions and countries develop their tourism industry,
it produces significant impacts on natural resources,
consumption patterns, pollution and social systems. People who
are going to work in the tourism sector should be aware of this new
trend. Let´s have a look at this brochure with suggestions about eco-friendly destinations.

This controversial policy some North American airlines are starting to

sit next to an obese person. Obviously this policy has its defenders and

WRITING A LEAFLET: City break holidays
Very often tourists take what we call city break holidays in which they spend a couple of days in a well-known city. To be able to make the most of such a short visit, it is a must for the traveller to have a leaflet with tourist information for a city break visit. This is typically known as a 48 hour-in-a-city report. As a Tourism student you should know how to write this type of leaflet. It has to follow a certain pattern. Let´s see in the following document the parts a 48 hours-in-a-city report must have. This is just a basic example whose structure can be modified:
