II. Who is the breadwinner in your family?
It’s my parents. They both go to work to support the family with the money they earn, so they are
both breadwinners.
But do you know who earns more money?
No, I don’t. My parents never talk to me about their earnings, but they do talk to me about saving
money.
Can you guess?
Guess? I think my father earns more money than my mother does. How about your family?
My family is a little different. My father is a lawyer. He earns much more money than my mother
does.
What does your mother do then?
She’s a housewife, but she has a part-time job at home, which helps her to earn some money.
Well, then, your father is the breadwinner.
Yes, he is. But I like my mother to go out for work. She says she wants to look for another job. I
believe that’s a good choice for her.

II. What are you doing, James?
As you see, I’m carrying the boxes and putting them onto that truck.
Are these your boxes? They look heavy. And the truck, have you just bought it?
No, I’m just helping the owner of the truck. She can’t carry this heavy stuff.
Oh, you’re very kind. But I wouldn’t do that if I were you. I’d do my work, relax, or go home and
help my parents and relatives.
That doesn’t sound good, Kelvin! Somebody really needs help at a certain time.
So you choose to help the truck owner to be a better person, but I think she should pay you for
your work.
I don’t ask for the money, Kelvin. You know, when you help someone, they’ll be more likely to
help you. This unspoken agreement fuels nearly every move.
I won’t count on unspoken agreements. If I need your help to carry my boxes, will you help me
too?
Yes, I’ll spend my entire day lugging your boxes, but you owe me. Frankly speaking, people may
not always live up to their end of the bargain, and you may not either. But if you help enough
people and do many good deeds, it’ll be given back when needed.
If I do bad, the bad will come find me, won’t it?
Yes, it will.
Okay. I guess I’ll have to join you with these boxes.
That’s great. Come on. Give me a hand.

II. Have you ever heard about flipped learning?
Yes, I have. Some years ago, when I took an IELTS course, the teacher applied it in the class and
we liked it a lot.
What is it exactly?
It’s simple. It’s a way of learning. The teacher will send you materials, so you can view at home or
outside of class.
That sounds like homework.
No, it’s not homework, but pre-class homework. You’ll discuss the assigned topic with classmates
and together solve it in the classroom.
That means we have to learn the lesson prior to class, doesn’t it?
You can say so, but it’s just part of a lesson or a presentation as I learned in my IELTS class.
Presentation? Is it the teacher’s lecture?
Yes, it is. I mean the content that the teacher will need you to study before going to the class. I’ve
got it. Thank you for your explanation.
Never mind.

II. I hear some people say that tourism is a hospitality industry, but I don’t quite understand what the
hospitality industry is.
That’s easy. Hospitality is a service industry. Hospitality is the industry covering all the products and
services that serve travelers, tourists and all types of visitors.
Covering all the products and services? Is it bigger than tourism?
Not really. This industry is closely associated and a part of the tourism industry. It is a key part of the
tourism industry value chain. This industry is mainly driven by growing tourism, yet it caters to both
tourists and travelers.
You say that hospitality industry caters to both tourists and travelers, so tourists are different from
travelers, aren’t they?
Yes, they are. A tourist is a visitor who spends at least a night in the country visited while a traveler is
someone who moves between different geographic locations, for any purpose and any duration.
What about a visitor?
A visitor is a person who visits a place for multiple reasons and not exclusively leisure.
Are there any other kinds of tourists?
Yes, there are still sightseers and excursionists. A sightseer is a person who is visiting interesting
places, especially on holiday. And an excursionist is a visitor without an overnight stay, meaning that
the arrival and departure occurs in the same calendar day.
That’s interesting to know.
