Foreign Languages Department learned so many important skills in dealing with customers and working with staffs Moreover, in spite of short time of training process, the internship course at the

memory of the tour and a tour guide It offers a chance to answer any questions of visitors Secondly, it is how to manage group The safety of tourists is my responsibility; therefore I tried to lead visitors well and made them feel safe and comfortable Thirdly, how to deal with problem during the tour is so important for a tour guide I could deal with many problems so that most tourists didn’t even know there was a problem Finally, I realized that my voice is also equally important During the tour, I controlled my voice, chose suitable positions so that everybody can hear and understand what I am saying 2.3 Management techniques observed Over my internship, I have learnt some valuable management skills from the management director of the company – human management skill He always has strict attitude to manage employees but besides the stringency, he’s also a friendly man who usually conducts staffs enthusiastically and carefully, especially for new employees and internship students In company, each employee has a different work and work schedule, most of the time they spent to work, although they are rarely encountered in the company The manager director manages employees through their own work schedule He appears immediately when employees have any difficulty Through the management employees in the company, I realized that the use value of each worker

especially tour guides I applied in reality what I have learnt from lectures at Vinh University Firstly, I spoke to staffs in the company in English to practice and improve English skills Secondly, I

they visit Therefore, I knew important experiences for this job I also was shared that a tour guide has to go far away from home not only short time but also long time It is important for a tour guide to be friendly, polite and enthusiastic Otherwise, foreign language ability is very important to get a professional tour guide In addition, patience, hard working, solving capability are also
