PART I:
INTRODUCTION
Vietnam nowadays, together with the strongly development of market economy
and international integration trend, is facing many opportunities as well as challenges.
Especially, Vietnam’s integration into World Trade Organization (WTO) has created
many chances to exchange and cooperate with many international friends. This has
been giving Vietnam a fast economic growth speed with many leading-edge industries
such as: electronics industry, chemical industry, tourism, etc. In the field of tourism,
Vietnam has planned and deployed many projects in order to strengthen tourism
industry. Lots of companies and organizations of tourism have been founded; many
new and beautiful sight-seeings have been discovered and embellished. This has been

bringing to Vietnam a lot of benefit as well as creating more jobs for Vietnamese
people. English from the past has become an international language and nowadays it
becomes more and more popular in all fields of social life. In Vietnam, English is
considered as an important and necessary condition to get a good job. Especially, in
tourism English is used a lot. Tourist staffs are considered as representative, bridge,
picture to the international friends. With such an importance, tourism section always
needs their staffs to have good foreign language. I have been trained to be a tour-guide
in the near future. However, to become a good tour-guide is not easy if we do not have
knowledge and practice a lot. Thus, we must get ourselves as many chances to practice
as possible. All of above reasons have inspired me to choose Truong Son Tourist
Company to study and practice.
