I know that it is my job to make sure that everything goes well for the tourists and I feel I work hard for the company. I cannot be blamed for last week. I met the group at the airport and took them to the coach. The coach driver was a bit annoyed because the flight was late. But it wasn't far to the hotel and everyone was looking forward to their dinner. We hadn't used the Hotel Riviera before, but our normal one had a conference in it so it was fully booked. When I announced our arrival at the reception desk, they said they were full. I had booked rooms for the group but the manager said they were cancelled by phone a few days before. He insisted that he recognised my voice and that I had made the phone call. We had a bit of an argument but they obviously didn't have enough rooms. In the end the manager phoned other hotels in the town and found rooms for everyone but in four different hotels. By this time the coach had gone so we had to get taxis and some of the tourists started to get very angry with me. I still don't know who made that phone call but it definitely wasn't me.

Collecting information about pre-employment and filling out an application form are closely connected, However, filling out an application form is much easier because you have total control and have enough time to think and plan.

　　That you are given a form to fill out does not necessarily mean that you have to answer all the questions in it. If the form contains unclear questions or terms and conditions, you can make some changes before signing(签约)it, or refuse to answer some of the questions. What you must realize is that those terms and conditions have been written by highly paid lawyers. Each word is important, or it would not be there; and you can be sure that there is not anything there that is written with your interests in mind.

　　I know what I speak of because, as a lawyer for Litton Industries. I wrote the terms and conditions that were printed on the back of order forms, I wrote the most tiring terms and conditions anyone has ever seen. Still, 90 percent of the buyers would just sign on them without questioning anything. If anyone questioned them, we would reach an agreement on something that was acceptable to both sides.

　　So when you see a preprinted application that contains questions or terms and conditions, read it all and read it slowly. If you don’t like something, you can simply change the parts you don’t like, Remember that everything can be settled by discussion. To what degree it can be settled depends on your position, of course, and that is something only you can determine.

　　I have been surprised each time my child has come home from school with a message saying his teacher wanted to see me.

　　I know my son seems very naughty: he cannot concentrate(聚精会神)on reading, he makes silly mistakes in his homework or often fails his exams.

　　Whenever such things happen, his teacher shouts,“Ask your parents to come here.”And then I have to go with my tail between my legs to find out what’s going on with my son and to listen to the teacher scold(责备)him.

　　I really feel sorry for my son’s mistakes and usually feel personally responsible(负责任).

　　But I cannot help feeling angry with him after a meeting with the teacher.

　　Gradually, I have realized that anger will do him no good, and that actually he needs my help.

　　On the one hand, I am greatly thankful to his teachers for their hard work and sense of responsibility.

　　On the other hand, I think that to educate our little emperors(皇帝), there needs to be more understanding and co-operation(配合) between teachers and parents.
