ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ

Специфика работы специалиста по сервису и туризму предпо­лагает общение с иностранными, следовательно, иноязычными партнерами и клиентами, поэтому ведение профессиональной де­ятельности на английском языке, утвердившемся повсеместно как lingua franca, является необходимым условием профессиональной компетенции будущего специалиста.

Развитие международных и туристских связей России актуали­зирует необходимость подготовки высококвалифицированных кад­ров для отраслей туризма и сервиса, поэтому целью обучения анг­лийскому языку является подготовка к профессиональному межкультурному общению.

Учебник английского языка «English for Travel Business and Service» (Английский язык для турбизнеса и сервиса) предназна­чен для студентов вузов и факультетов туристского и сервисного профиля, слушателей специальных курсов по английскому языку, а также специалистов, работающих в сфере туризма и сервиса и самостоятельно изучающих английский язык.

«English for Travel Business and Service» является коммуникатив­но-ориентированным учебником английского языка, в основу ко­торого положен принцип интегративного обучения иностранному языку, предполагающий комплексную организацию учебного ма­териала и взаимосвязанное обучение всем видам речевой деятель­ности.

Учебник рассчитан на 210 часов аудиторных занятий и 80—120 часов самостоятельной работы и ориентирован на лиц, продолжа­ющих изучение английского языка в вузе. Аудиторная работа на­правлена на изучение лексического материала, самостоятельная работа ориентирована на закрепление и использование речевых моделей в ситуациях профессионального общения.

Текстовый материал учебника является базовым в тематичес­ком и лексическом плане и может быть дополнен грамматическим материалом по желанию преподавателя в зависимости от уровня грамматических навыков обучаемых. Учебник также должен быть дополнен региональным компонентом в зависимости от региона проживания и предполагаемой профессиональной деятельности будущих специалистов.

Целью учебника является обучение будущих специалистов в области туризма и сервиса профессионально-ориентированному

общению на английском языке, развитие у обучаемых умений и навыков устного и письменного общения в контексте как будущей профессиональной коммуникации, так и непосредственного обще­ния с иноязычными партнерами и клиентами.

Учебник состоит из двух частей: Travelling (Путешествия) и Travel Business (Турбизнес). Каждая часть включает в себя несколь­ко уроков или разделов (units), посвященных определенной теме.

Каждый урок открывается дискуссией (Group Talk), нацелен­ной на активизацию мыслительной деятельности обучаемых и мо­тивацию изучения обсуждаемого материала; большинство заданий- дискуссий персонифицированы и ориентированы на личный опыт обучаемых либо его проекцию.

Далее студентам предлагается базовый текст (Text) для чтения, перевода и пересказа или аннотирования, с заданиями до и после прочтения. Каждый текст снабжен вокабуляром, в который вклю­чены как основные термины по данной теме, так и наиболее труд­ные, интересные и/или употребительные слова и выражения дан­ного урока. Каждый раздел (урок) включает в себя от одного до трех базовых текстов. Тексты, включенные в данный учебник, взяты из оригинальной англоязычной художественной и газетно-журналь- ной литературы, туристских каталогов и рекламных проспектов, не адаптированы.

В текстах, взятых из американской художественной литерату­ры и публицистики, сохранены лексические и орфографические особенности американского варианта английского языка. Некото­рые из них вынесены в отдельное упражнение после текста (Compare and mind the difference) для акцентуации внимания обу­чаемых.

Работа после прочтения текста (Text Work) включает в себя лек­сические и коммуникативные упражнения, ориентированные на закрепление лексического материала, активизацию лексики в мо­нологической (agree/disagree; discuss; say why; explain), диалогичес­кой (dialogues, role play) и письменной (translate, fill in..., write an essay) речи.

Для развития умения аудирования студенты прослушивают как диалоги и тексты из учебника, так и дополнительные аудиомате- риалы^[1], направленные на обучение пониманию.

Ролевые игры (Role Play) представляют собой реальные ситуа­ции профессионального общения специалистов по сервису и ту­ризму, благодаря чему английский язык становится не только це­лью, но и средством профессиональной подготовки студентов.

Каждый раздел (unit) завершается созданием проекта (Project Work), который основан на тематической лексике данного раздела и является самостоятельным творческим отчетом студента по прой­денному материалу, что гарантирует систематический повтор изу­ченного материала.

Рекомендуется обращать внимание студента на создание про­екта (Project Work) в начале изучения урока-раздела, так как это дает возможность студенту не только закрепить изученные языко­вые аспекты, но и переработать их с целью использования в реаль­ной работе в сфере турбизнеса и сервиса. Для преподавателя вы­полненный студентом проект является показателем глубины усвоения лексического и грамматического материала урока.

Дорогие коллеги и студенты, желаю вам интересной, творчес­кой и плодотворной работы с данным учебником!

RESORT

A resort is a place used for relaxation or recreation. As a result, peo­ple tend to seek out a resort for holidays or vacations. Generally, a resort

is distinguished by a large selection of activities, such as food, drink, lodg­ing, sports, entertainment, and shopping.

A resort can commonly refer to two specific but similar places:

• Towns in which tourism or vacationing is a major part of the local activity but are usually not run by a single company (for example, the city of Antalia in Turkey).

• \&cation centres, usually run by a single company, which attempt to provide for all or most of a vacationer's wants while staying there (for example, Walt Disney World Resort).

The term "resort" is sometimes misused to identify a hotel that does not meet the requirements of a resort. However, a hotel is frequently the central feature of a resort.

Types of Resorts

Destination Resort

A resort is sometimes called a destination resort. This is a common usage when the facility provides food, drink, lodging, sports, entertain­ment, and shopping within the facility so that customers have no need to leave the facility once they arrive. Commonly these facilities are of higher quality then would be expected if one were to stay at a hotel or eat in a town's restaurant.

There are also special kinds of resorts depending upon your desired activities. The most popular resorts in the world are seaside resorts, spa resorts, ski resorts and golf resorts.

All-inclusive Resort

An all-inclusive resort is a resort that, besides providing all of the common amenities of a resort, charges a fixed price that includes most or all items. At a minimum, most inclusive resorts include lodging, un­limited food, drink, sports activities, and entertainment for the fixed price.

CAMPING HOLIDAYS

The best holiday we ever had was entirely unplanned and unprepared for in any way. Two weeks holidays suddenly popped up and at a day's notice we took off for Scotland. We left London at six in the morning, the two boys being barely awake. We were early enough to get well clear of the London traffic and made good progress. We had a long lunch break just after Scotch Corner and were over the Border by 5 o'clock. By ex­traordinary luck the first farmer we talked to was as affable as they come and we pitched our two tents and were eating our supper by seven.

That year Scotland was at its most beautiful. The bell heather was in full bloom and the hills had that lovely purple sheen. We took the travel­ling easily, making our way north through Perthshire toward Fort Will­iam. Most nights we camped in the wildest country without a soul around, sometimes on the heather or on the edge of a pine wood. I suppose it was the unplanned nature of the holiday and the sense of freedom of the whole expedition that made it so memorable. Of course the weather was good.

Camping has always had this particular attraction for us and although in more populous areas you may have to book your camping site, or do more advance planning, it is easily the most open and flexible way to organize a holiday, particularly in places like Scotland.

Our boys (9 and 11) are experienced campers and know the jobs they have to do when we pitch tents. They are city boys, but I think they will grow up with a real love of the countryside and nature, and this we count as of some importance in this day and age.

We have always found that buying cheap equipment for camping is a doubtful proposition, and though the most expensive is beyond our reach, good quality tents, medium-priced sleeping bags and sturdy cooking equipment are essential.

It's a good idea if you do a lot of camping to belong to one of the campers' clubs. There is an excellent monthly journal, Camping and Outdoor Life, which is full of ideas, information and news of other peo­ple's experiences. There is great emphasis placed these days on good camping — and this means paying attention to — of the campers, not being noisy at nights, paying due regard to cleanliness and questions of sanitation and so on.

Life in most towns gets increasingly hectic, noisy and unpleasant. But they need not be prisons. It is remarkable how even near such big cities as London, in between the great arterial roads and motorways, there are whole areas of beautiful, quiet and unspoiled countryside. Most London­ers have no idea of these quiet villages and lovely countryside that can be found within 30 miles of Charing Cross, and often much less.

The weather, of course, is a problem. Nobody cares much for camp­ing in heavy, driving rain. But it is often possible to have a weekend camp in spring and summer and to feel all the better for it during the coming week.

And for summer holidays — well, what's to beat it?

HOLIDAY PLANS

 

Hallo, Charles, it's me, Mary. Hi, Mary, how are you? I'm very well, thanks. How are you? I'm fine.

Good. I am ringing to ask if you know anything about hotels in Brighton.

No, I am afraid I can't be of very much help to you there.

We are going to take the kids to the South this summer. I

thought you've been to Brighton.

I have. Several times. But I've always taken a tent.

Oh, I see. That's not our case. Vfe could never do it with George

and Susan. They are terribly naughty, so we simply must find a

nice hotel where they'll put up with noisy kids.

I think it's not a problem. Why not go to a travel agency? Or

look at ads?

Well, yes. As a matter of fact I was reading one paper this morn­ing. And I found one. It sounded marvellous. This hotel is right on the beach, and that's essential. The kids are really only in­terested is scrabbling in the sand and jumping into the sea ev­ery five minutes. I know just how it is.

And the rooms have balconies facing the sea, so it would be pos­sible for us to keep an eye on the kids while they are playing. Sounds good. Is it expensive?

Rather. The food is good though — according to the advertise­ment — but they always say that.

Mary: Charles: Mary: Charles: Mary: Charles: Mary: Charles: Mary:

Charles: Mary: Charles: Mary: Charles:

Of course. The only way to find out is to go and try it. Or ask somebody who's been there. Oh, look, it's just occurred to me — Mr. and Mrs. Croft, who live across the street, have been to Brighton several times and they always stayed at the hotels.

Did they?

I'll ask them to give you a call.

That's very kind of you. They won't mind, will they?

They'll be pleased to help.

Thank you ever so much, Charles.

1. Vacation should be educational. The best way to spend a vacation is to go to an ancient place like Rome or London. There you can see historic building and places.

2. We need holidays to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, from the streets, traffic and the strain. So we need to go to a quiet remote village to have good rest.

3. A holiday is time to enjoy yourself. So entertainment should come first. Discos, parties and clubs every night — that's a good holiday for me.

4. My suggestion is a camping holiday It is cheap and you can feel the real beauty of the nature that way Besides, walking is good for health.

5. Doing nothing — that's a holiday. I need a place where I can just sit and relax with a good book in my hands looking at the sea in the distance.

THE VACATION SITUATION IN AMERICA

Ah, vacation. The sand, the surf. The mountains and hiking. The city streets and sidewalk cafes. I need a vacation. That's what most of the Americans think, but don't do.

They have heard all the sayings: "Vacation is a great way to relax, re­charge and come away with a fresh perspective that can drive your ca­reer to new heights. Too bad these cathartic cliches ignore the realities of the 2000s: overwork, overbearing managers and overreaching technol­ogy that never let American professionals off the hook.

The reality is that the amount of vacation time available to U.S. work­ers is at the whim of U.S. employers. While there may be some truth to the fact that a lack of government intervention in this matter is a major reason for the global dominance of the U.S. economy, they are at an extreme end of the work-life balance spectrum. And to many, the end is the wrong one.

Sure, U.S. production, wealth and work ethics are the envy of the industrial world. But, as a result, employers mandate how many weeks an employee can take off.

A dirty secret in corporate America however, is that a vacation is not a right, but a privilege. Hence the proliferation of PDA devices, laptops and mobile phones on beaches across California, Florida and Mexico.

Unlike his counterpart in Europe, it seems the U.S. worker has his Job on the brain even when the time has come to decompress, be it at home or on vacation. Despite the evident benefits to the economy and overall productivity, is it worth it?

The average vacation time in America is 12 days while in Germany It is 35, in France — 37, and in Italy the norm is an astounding 42 days щ year. This is unheard of in America. Even the British have 28 days at their disposal, which means that one of the most stringent European nations in terms of time off provides twice as much as the average Amer­ican company.

Another important consideration in this comparison is the fact that during certain times of the year, corporate Europe as a whole takes a vacation. Try doing business with a European company in August or in second half of December and early January, for example. We are dealing with a totally different mentality on the other side of the pond.

The point is the ever-elusive balance of work and life. U.S. business has a reputation for being all work and no play, while business in Europe Is less intense and more holistic.

Many Europeans however, would cite that intangible "quality of life" metric. The standard of living in the U.S. may be the highest in the in­dustrial world in terms of monetary compensation, but what about fam­ily time, personal time and stress levels?

Another point is that technology and a major push by industry for Increased productivity have convinced many folks they are indispensable.

People don't take long vacations — if they take them at all — because Companies have been ''brainwashing" employees into feeling guilty about handing off their work to colleagues. They have engendered a sense of insecurity. Now there are all these narcissistic worker bees who, when companies downsize, are shocked because they think, 'Hey, I'm vital.'

Many workers believe that their workload simply doesn't allow them to take all the time off.

Others say it is pressure or fear that keeps them from using all their vacation, not their workload. In the volatile labor economy of the 21^st century American workers are not using their vacation days, because they're scared of being replaced while they're away or that their employer would discover that they are not indispensable.

It boils down to personal choice. You can have your cake and eat it too in America. Because government does not regulate vacation time here, there is always the possibility of negotiating more days off once you gain a certain position of recognition in the company.

No matter how many people applaud the American work ethic and commitment, nobody can deny the tangible and intangible benefits of a vacation to workers with full, busy lives.

Don't be so sure. We may not go anywhere. My wife always wor­ries too much. Who is going to look after the dog? Who is going to look after the house? Who is going to look after the garden? We have this problem every year. In the end we stay at home and look after everything!

43-летний историк Гордон Джонсон говорит, что не знает, ка­кой отпуск ему положен, и не заботится об этом, так любит свою работу и не знает, что бы он делал во время отпуска. Конечно, он ездит всей семьей на неделю к морю. Но дело в том, что когда он возвращается, на него наваливается столько работы, что он начи­нает сожалеть о том, что отдыхал.

John: Jack: John: Jack: John: Jack: John: Jack:

Многие американцы не уходят в отпуск из-за боязни потерять работу. Экономические кризисы последнего десятилетия подорва­ли уверенность многих работников в их незаменимости, поэтому
они всегда хотят быть на виду, когда принимаются важные реше­ния. И даже когда они все-таки едут отдыхать, они берут с собой свои компьютеры и телефоны и всегда остаются на связи с офи­сом.

Многие исследователи говорят, что США — единственная стра­на, в которой люди отдыхают, чтобы потом работать еще более усердно. Во всем мире люди работают для того, чтобы отдыхать.

AIR TRAVEL

When travelling by air you have to get to the airport early in order to check in about an hour before your flight. If you have a lot of luggage, you can put it on a trolley and push it to the check-in desk where some­one will check your ticket and weigh your luggage. If you have excess luggage, you have to pay for it, and it can be expensive. Your heavy lug­gage is put on a conveyer belt and carried away. A light bag is classified as hand luggage and you can take it with you on the plane.

Then you go to the customs. An immigration officer looks at your passport and a security guard checks your hand luggage before you go into the departure lounge to wait till your flight is announced. If you want to, you can buy some goods at the airport duty free stores. When you see on the departure board or hear an announcement that you plane is now boarding, you go through the departure gate, and then there is sometimes

a security check before you actually get on the plane. When all the pas­sengers are on board and when the captain and his crew are ready in the cockpit, the plane moves to the end of the runway. Finally, permission is received from the control tower and the plane moves faster and faster and finally takes off.

Flying is fun. I like being in a big aircraft. The cabin crew (stewards and stewardesses or flight attendants) are always very friendly and help­ful. They walk up and down the aisle bringing meals and drinks; and if the flight is going through some turbulence, they warn everybody that it might be a bit bumpy and ask us to fasten our seat-belts. On a long flight I like listening to music through the headphones available to all passen­gers or watch a video, which is always available, too, and sometimes I have a sleep. 1 enjoy it all so much that as soon as I get off the plane I want to go on the next flight again.
