Learning Activity 12: Manage the inventory of materials, products and/or

equipment according to the organization policies.

Reading technical texts to pronounce vocabulary and language idioms

The language learning process for a tourist guide must involve a wide variety of
linguistic elements required for an effective communication with the customers. In
the first levels of language learning, the most challenging area is building a
vocabulary that includes all the technical concepts and words that are used on the
everyday activities.
Understanding how to properly use an inventory is essential to develop the tour
guiding labor, and to manage the descriptions of the equipment in English will
provide you security when you are addressing to a foreign people. Another
important element that makes a tour guide a good professional is the proper us of
phonetics, because this does not include a perfect pronunciation, but a good
understanding of the dialectal differences of foreign people and be able to talk in a
certain way that your clients understand your speech.
This evidence is intended to promote arise awareness toward the need of
managing an inventory of equipment in English. Also, it is necessary to practice
pronunciation and read technical documents to understand how to give directions,
instructions and recommendations about equipment usage.

Good Morning people,

During this tour it’s very important to clear some important instructions
about equipment to camping.

To start you should prepare your tourist equipment before you travel. The
best way to protect you is to wear three separate layers, the base layer, mid-
layer, and shell layer. It’s The Layering System. The weather changes often,
but you will always be protected. Sneakers or similar shoes are not suitable
for use during the hike. Be sure to take one more pair of shoes for camping,
because all the time walking in heavy hiking boots is very hard and
uncomfortable. The walkie talkie is used only in case of emergency, when the
channel is available to use, press and hold the Talk Button. Finally don’t
forget to use the pot over 80º to avoid a fire and, for one-day walks, a
backpack 20-30L is suitable.
