Letter writing 1 Lesson1 AN INTRODUCTION TO TOURISM Tourism is the act of traveling or the purpose of recreation and business, and the provision of services for this act. A more comprehensive definition would be that tourism is a service industry, comprising a number of tangible and intangible components. The tangible elements include : transport system - air, rail, road, water and hospitality services- accommodation, foods and beverages, tours, souvenirs, and related services such as banking, insurance and safety and security. The intangible elements include: rest and relaxation, culture, adventures and different experiences . 1.2 Pioneers of tourism Thomas Cook, Freddie Laker and Cesar Manrique. Thomas Cook He was the first person to develop mass tourism. He organized excursions and tours which opened up the world of traveling for pleasure to the middle classes. Many of the things which we now take for granted in modern tourism date back to Thomas Cook – things like traveler’s cheques, hotel vouchers, and chartered transport. Thomas Cook lived in Leicester in the centre of England in the mid-19th century. He organized his first tour, a railway excursion from Leicester to Loughborough, in 1841. Freddie Laker He was one of the pioneers of modern passenger air travel. He was born in England in 1922, and from an early age was involved with aircraft. He was an aircraft engineer in the Second World War and also learnt to fly. Laker’s business ability appeared soon after the war ended. In the Berlin airlift of 1948 he was one of a number of businessmen who bought and chartered planes to take food and supplies to the people of Berlin when the city was blockaded by the Russian. It was in the 1960s and 1970 that the real growth in charter air travel happened, as more and more people wanted to go on package holidays. Laker was at the forefront of this. Freddie Laker helped to make air travel a realistic and fairly cheep possibility for many travelers and tourists. Cesar Manrique He was born in Arrecife in 1919 and studied art in Madrid and New York. His major set-piece visitor attractions, Jameos del Agua, Mirador del Rio, and Jardin de Cactus are masterpieces of design which are totally in harmony with the landscape. 2 The hallmarks of any Manrique project are the use of local materials, integration with natural, and a completely peaceful atmosphere, all finished with a flourish of his own brand of surreal art. Cesar Manrique died in a car accident just outside his Taro de Tahiche home in September 1992. 1.3 History of tourism Read the article about the history of tourism “Footprints in the sand of time” 3 Lesson 2 MEETINGS 2.1 Introducing oneself (prezentari) Vocabulary: My name is John Brown. Mine is Simon Smith - Iar eu sunt… Please call me Simon And you must call me Bill. May I introduce you to … I’d like to introduce you to… This is… How old are you? I am ….. He/she is … . Where are you from? I’m from … I live in … . What is your address/ telephone number? 2.2 Meeting someone for the first time Dialogue: Hugo Liro arrives at the airport, looking for someone who he has never met, but who is meant to be wearing a red carnation in his buttonhole in order to be recognized. HL: Excuse me, are you Bob Smith? Man: No, I’m afraid I’m not. HL: Oh, that’s a pity, I’ve just arrived from Italy and he was meant to meet me here. Thank you anyway. It would appear that everyone has agreed to put a carnation in their buttonhole! H.L: Excuse me, are you Bob Smith? BS: Yes, I’m. You must be Hugo Liro. How do you do? HL: How do you do? I’m pleased to meet you Mr Smith BS: I’m pleased to meet you too. Please call me Bob. HL: And you must call me Hugo. BS: May I introduce you to my colleague, our export sales manager, Simon Dallas? Simon, this is Hugo Liro. HL: How do you do. I’m pleased to meet you at last after all our communication by e-mail and on the telephone! SD: Did you have a good trip? HL: Well, we had three hours delay at the stopover because they had problems refueling the plane, that’s why we are so late, I’m afraid. BS: It doesn’t matter; we have had some extra time to work out our sales strategies for the meeting. My car is in the underground carpark – have you got any luggage? 4 HL: Just a couple of suitcases with samples in them – they should have arrived by now. SD: Let’s go and get them and then we’ll give you some lunch before we go to the hotel… Exercise 1 What would you say? a) Good afternoon Mr. X. How do you do? ____________________________ b) Good morning X. How are you? ________________________________ c) It’s nice to meet you. ___________________________________ d) How is business? __________________________________ e) Have you met Joanna Trilby? _______________________________ f) Did you have a good trip? ________________________ g) How do you know my marketing manager? ________________________ h) Let me give you my card. ____________________________ i) Would you like a coffee? _____________________________ j) Haven’t we met somewhere before? _____________________ Lesson 3 WAYS OF TRAVELING Discussion questions: Why do people travel?

Dialogue : At the airport B. Bloggs: Excuse me. Which terminal does flight AL602 go from? Air hostess: Terminal B, Gate 42. You mast check in 60 minutes before departure on an international flight, or 30 minutes before departure on a domestic flight. B. Bloggs: And where do I check-in? AH: The check-in desk is over there- just behind the Tarom desk. B. Bloggs: Thank you. Good morning. I’d like to check-in please. A.H: Good morning, Sir. Could I have your ticket and your passport, and could you put your luggage on the scale? Have you got any hand luggage? Right, here is your boarding card. The flight arrives at 11.15 am local time, and you will 5 have to put your watch forward by 5 hours. Please go through customs and immigration before the duty free shops and go to the departure lounge on time. Your flight will be in about half-an-hour. B. Bloggs: Thank you. Voice: This is the last call for flight number AL602, now boarding gate 42. Bill Bloggs gets on the plane Voice: Ladies and Gentlemen, pleas fasten your seatbelt and extinguish all cigarettes. We are preparing for take-off. At customs. Bill Bloggs has rather bumpy flight, then the plane lands. He gets off the plane and goes off towards customs and immigration. He speaks to a customs officer (CO). CO: Have you got anything to declare, Sir? B. Bloggs: No, nothing in particular. Do I have to declare my camera? CO: No, that’s all right, sir. Could you open your briefcase please? B. Bloggs: Certainly. CO: Go through the green channel, please. B. Bloggs: Thank you. Air travel trouble Overbooking You arrive at the airport, pass through security, only to find that your plane is overbooked. Overbooked means that there are more air tickets sold on a plane than there are places available. Cancellation A decision to stop the flight that has already been scheduled. Ex: All flights have been cancelled because of bad weather. Unconfirmed flights It would seem illogical that once you have booked and paid for your flight, you have to reconfirm.

Victoria: The irG l Who Would Become Queen Abstract This research reviews the early life of Queen Victoria and through analysis of her sequestered childhood and lack of parental figures explains her reliance later in life on mentors and advisors. Additionally, the research reviews previous biographical portrayals of the Queen and refutes the claim that she was merely a receptacle for the ideas of the men around her while still acknowledging and explaining her dependence on these advisors.

  • Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: Queen Victoria
    Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: Queen Victoria directed by Art Manke by Susan Myer Silton, Dramaturg © 2019 Little else has exerted its influence on the events and characters of this play more than the Victorian Era, which is discussed in a separate document. Queen Victoria herself is an offstage character in the play. The following biography of Queen Victoria draws from an article on BBC.com (https://www.bbc.com/timelines/ztn34j6), written by royal historian Professor Kate Williams, and is supplemented by the resources listed at the end of the document. Alexandrina Victoria was a study in contradictions. She reigned in a society that idealized motherhood and the family, and had nine children of her own. Nevertheless, she hated pregnancy and childbirth, detested babies, and was uncomfortable in the presence of children. She had no interest in social issues, yet her reign ushered in an age of reform, including benefits for the lower and middle classes and support of child labor laws. She resisted technological change during a time when mechanical and technological innovations, spawned by the Industrial Revolution, redesigned European civilization. Victoria was determined to retain political power; at the beginning of her marriage to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, she insisted that her husband have no part in the governance of the country. Yet within six months, and after repeated haranguing on his part, she allowed her confidant, advisor and mentor, Lord Melbourne (William Lamb), to give her husband access to the governmental dispatches, and then to attend her meetings with her ministers. What was initially a concession became standard practice, and during her first pregnancy, the prince received his own “key to the secret boxes.” Finally, the queen relinquished her reins of power to her husband, who succeeded in incapacitating her with unwanted pregnancy after unwanted pregnancy.

  • Legrand-Mastersthesis-2018
    Chapter I: Introduction For many individuals, learning about a historical figure like Queen Victoria will be through viewing visual medias like film and television miniseries. With the general public using films and television miniseries to acquire historical knowledge the means to analyze and assess this form of study is impertinent. Even after her death, Queen Victoria remains a popular figure often depicted in films and television miniseries due to her long life and her paradoxical role as sovereign. Part of this film analysis is to evaluate Queen Victoria’s agency and her intentions to make a particular effect on her family and the monarchy. Queen Victoria’s agency is analyzed through films and television miniseries because of the visual representations of how filmmakers interpret Victoria’s life and how she approaches events during her reign. By using the representa- tions of Queen Victoria in films and television miniseries, I apply historical and film analysis to examine how filmmakers have communicated a specific interpretation of Queen Victoria and her agency. Films and television miniseries also depict Queen Victoria’s relationship with her family members, politicians and subjects, which can be interpreted and analyzed to understand her agency in a boarder context. The films and television miniseries have an added historical value by depicting a wider cultural, social and political context of Queen Victoria’s life and how filmmakers interpret her agency. In this thesis, agency refers to Victoria’s actions and interventions to the social, political and cultural factors that are viewed in the films and miniseries. How Victoria asserted herself throughout her life is viewed in the films and miniseries selected for this thesis.

  • January 2016
    HEIR OF THE MONTH: JANUARY 2016 Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom: The Duties of a Daughter-Cum-Editor Jennifer Henderson Crane On the 193rd anniversary of her great-great grandmother’s birth, 24 May 2012, Queen Elizabeth II made Queen Victoria’s journals available online. The welcoming page notes that the journals were the first digitalised documents belonging to the Royal Archives to be made available online. In a special message by the current sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II states that she hoped this project will “…enhance our knowledge and understanding of the past.” This, as this essay will show, was an interesting choice of words. Princess Beatrice in the early 1870s (Hills & Saunders) Queen Victoria began her journals in the late summer of 1832 when she was thirteen; they conclude approximately a week before her death at eighty-two in January 1901. Nearly every day is accounted for, though there are exceptions as, for example, during her confinements with each of her nine children—entries resumed roughly six weeks after the child’s birth. Despite these occasional interruptions, Victoria’s journals are still lengthy. In her work on Albert Edward Prince of Wales, the future Edward VII, Jane Ridley estimated that, along with her avid letter-writing, the Queen wrote sixty million words during the course of her reign. But the focus here will not be on an examination of Victoria’s journals per se but, rather, the editing process performed by Princess Beatrice. 1 HEIR OF THE MONTH: JANUARY 2016 Beatrice was the Queen’s literary executor and, as such, it was her responsibility to carry out her mother’s wishes with regards to editing the journals.
