3. What are the main causes of stress that people experience where you live? I am a student, so obviously my classmates and I are always stressed before exams. We worry
about getting bad grades
.
In addition, we sometimes talk about our future, and we don't really
know what to expect. We have a lot of dreams and expectations, but we don't know if we will be
able to realize them.
I believe that people mostly worry about their job, and making enough money to live a decent
life. Life is getting more expensive, and when you get a family, a kid, you have expectations and
obligations responsibilities)
.
Men in China are required to make a living for the whole family. I
believe that a lot of guys worry about being successful enough. Women might worry about their
own or their husband's job, or their child's education, as well as their own age and appearance.
4. What types of jobs are available in the holiday industry? There are many different jobs related to the tourist industry. First of all, I can think of tour guides
and people who work in travel agencies. They plan your holiday; they book hotels and flights for
customers
.
Tourism creates jobs in hotels and restaurants so many people can be hired as cooks,
waiters, accountants, and managers
.
Many people also find a job in companies in charge of
entertaining tourists
:
if you want to go scuba diving in Hainan, you need an instructor, and
someone to rent the equipment from. If you go skiing around Harbin, it's the same.
5. What qualities and qualifications are needed to do them? Well, it really depends on the job of course, but in general, if you want to work in the holiday
industry, I think you should have good interpersonal skills
.
Communication is essential because
you will meet many people from different backgrounds, and you should be able to adapt to their
expectations and requests. In addition, tour guides, waiters, and anyone who serves tourists should
be considerate and patient. You should be well-trained too, and it is possible to study tourism at
university, in order to be fully qualified. Speaking English and other foreign languages would also
definitely be useful.
