High scores kneel for heroes who have been to America! ! ! ! !

I have been to America, but I have never been a room attendant, so I can't answer all your questions.

How about San Antonio, Texas? I heard that it is very hot in summer, with tornadoes and hurricanes. Is that dangerous?

San Antonio is the southernmost part of the United States, close to Mexico, so there are many Mexicans and mexican american. The whole Texas gives me the feeling that it is similar to Xinjiang, with a vast territory and few people, and the prices are relatively low, especially the housing is cheap.

Because of latitude and continental climate, the weather there is really not cold. But Americans are afraid of heat, and there are air conditioners everywhere, so you don't have to worry. Tornadoes and hurricanes are indeed very common, but it is precisely because of their frequent occurrence that the local people's awareness of prevention and protection measures are in place, so the risk is actually not great. Don't worry, just ask the local people for preventive experience.

2. How about Drewry Hotel? Is it famous? Does the room attendant serve a room alone, or can any waiter go to a room? That hint ....

I really didn't know that. Is room service and room cleaning the same job? Most of the time I see one person cleaning the guest room on the first floor, but I also see two people together. There are two kinds of tips, one is the service charge included in the room rate (only available in high-end hotels), and the other is left by the guests before they leave, so just collect it directly when cleaning the room.

As a room attendant, can I accept tips? How much can you earn in a day? Do you always tip when checking out and cleaning?

It is natural to accept tips. However, how to make a specific tip depends on the hotel policy. Basically, some hotels have a policy of sharing tips equally. If you receive a tip, you should pay it first, and then everyone will share it equally according to the head (smaller hotels usually do this). The other is to divide the service areas, so that the tips in this service area will all belong to the service personnel in this area (it is also possible to turn over some of them and keep the rest).

There are two kinds of tips. One must be given, and the other can be given or not. What must be paid is generally about 10%~25% of the consumption amount, such as the consumption of restaurants and taxis. If it is too low, you can also ask him what he is dissatisfied with and why he tips so little. What you can or can't give, such as filling the car, opening the door for you and handing you a towel in the bathroom, is usually 1~5 yuan. Tips left by guests in the room fall into this category. If you are responsible for cleaning 50 rooms, assuming that the average guest spends $2 per person, then your daily tip is $50, which is still considerable.

Many service jobs have low basic salaries, and most of them earn money by tipping.

4. What food is there? All raw?

There are not many things eaten raw, and the most common thing is vegetable salad. Steak, salmon and the like can be cooked or eaten raw, and you can choose.

5. How much is a brand-name and ordinary dress? What about cosmetics?

The concept of famous brand is too broad, and the price varies greatly. I can't tell you a range, but the overall price is much cheaper than that in China. Many ordinary American brands have become well-known brands in China, such as Levis. Ordinary clothes are generally T-shirt 20 yuan, shirt 50, sweater 80, pants 60, coat 100 or more. But clothes will be very cheap when they are discounted in American shopping malls, and many prices may only be 1/3 of the price I said. Cosmetics are basically the same, so cosmetics are basically available in the United States, which is cheaper than domestic ones.

6. Foreigners are most afraid of being asked their age, lying and being late. What else is there?

In general, we don't talk about politics and beliefs because they are very sensitive. You can't ask the age of a woman, but the age of a man doesn't matter much. Mexicans are lazy and unpunctual, while China people are better than them with a little effort.

7. I come from Guangzhou. Where and how long in advance is it cheaper to book a plane ticket? Can we book a round-trip ticket together? But the exact round-trip date is not clear.

You can book some air tickets first, and then book the time. If you want cheap air tickets on China-US routes, you usually have to start planning three months in advance. If you stay there for more than 3 months, it is not recommended to book a return ticket in advance.

8. I am short of money. Can you take some paper-cuts and knitwear to sell there? Will it not allow entry? Can I set up a roadside stall there, or do I have to pay a lot of money or something? If not, just where I am, there is no way.

Yes, there is no concept of urban management in America. As long as it doesn't interfere with other people (disturbing the people and congested traffic), the local police generally don't care. It is recommended to take the holiday route. There are many festivals in America, such as Father's Day and Mother's Day. Americans will buy small gifts for their families and colleagues.

9. In fact, the main purpose of this trip is to learn English well, but I heard that for people who do this job, there is relatively little room for English improvement because they don't need to say more ... Really, what should I do?

Even if you don't speak English at work, you still have to speak English on weekdays. The first three months are the best time to learn English. After three months, many people adapted to the local life and gradually stopped learning English actively. A good way to learn English is to make some foreign friends or roommates and force yourself to speak often. The other is to watch TV every day, no matter what you watch.

10. I found many websites for chatting with foreigners. Those foreigners don't care about you because your English is not good. It's so sad ... I want to make friends with people who speak good English. I have nothing to talk about. Please trust me personally if you can. Thank you! ! ! ! !

Still listen to the English original sound more, not more, mainly by word-by-word imitation, the key point is that each word is pronounced correctly. Friends can, find a few episodes to watch repeatedly, imitate constantly, and pass the pronunciation test first. It's not too late to practice oral English abroad. In addition, you can also accumulate some daily words and sentence patterns.
