picture1:One day, a man was talking with a staff member in the hotel office. The man is the manager of the hotel near the beach. The woman staff showed a newspaper that said, “Severe weather increasing.” Because the hotel is near the beach, the area suffers from the typhoon. The woman told the manger, they need to be prepared for the severe weather disaster. The manager agreed.

picture2:At a staff meeting, they were wondering which plan is better, strengthen the building or to buy more survival kits. They thought just buying more survival kits doesn’t change the safety of the hotel and decided to renovate the hotel to be aware of the harsh natural disasters such as typhoon and tsunami.

picture3:A few months later, the plan to renovate and strengthen the building started. The construction company built a new temporary wall to hide the scenery of the construction so the window was all shut and the rooms’ window can’t show the beautiful views of the ocean anymore. The customers was able to stay at the hotel as usual though. So, the manager was satisfied by the plan the construction company showed.

Pictures4: The next day, two young women claimed, “We couldn’t enjoy our view of the beach.” They were frustrated because they were excited to stay at the hotel because the hotel was near the beach and they read that beautiful oceans can been seen in every room on the website. They thought they were cheated and couldn’t stand the situation of paying the same money as usual. They even thought of demanding the hotel to return to money to them. The manager apologized to the disappointed customers. He thought renovating the hotel for customers was good thing to protect their safety but regretted they shouldn’t have hidden their main sale point, beautiful ocean view.

●questions

No.1:If I were the man, I would be thinking I have to lower the price of the hotel during the renovation period because the hotel is famous for beautiful scenery of the ocean seen from the room. Without that main sale point, I just have to lower the price to collect stable customers.

No.2:I think so. Many people say one person’s effort to resist global warming doesn’t change. But I don’t think so. By riding bus or subway instead of automobile, it will save many natural resources. I feel individual feeling to stop global warming will change if everyone cooperates.

No.3:I think so. In Aichi prefecture, there was a subway ticket for foreign tourist which the prefecture can locate what kind of location is popular for tourist. But because there were not enough promotion, half of the tickets was not sold. I think this shows Japan should do much more to promote itself to foreign tourists.

No.4:I think so. Recently, there was a company that kept saying they are only doing the campaign for certain period. However, they hosted the campaign for more than 5 years. Not only this, I think many commercials cheat us. I demand the government to restrict laws to prevent cases like this.
