    • “We’ll take care of that right away.”

    • “Thank you for bringing this to our attention.”

  • Customer service skills: showing empathy, staying calm, offering solutions.

    • Guest complains about noisy room.

    • Guest didn’t receive requested amenities.

    • Guest’s tour booking is missing.
      Teacher models polite response → student repeats and practices.

  4. Roleplay Activity (7 min) – Students take turns as guest/staff. Teacher gives problem cards (“No hot water,” “Wi-Fi not working,” etc.).
