Who's still moving?

You can't hold still

for a short time?

Quality service.

Do we have the confidence?

Yes.

I can't hear the confidence

in your voice.

- Do you have it or not?

- Yes!

That's better.

Let's talk about

studying English.

Twenty years ago,

when I first brought

foreign tourists,

people in Hong Kong

would call them

"foreign devils".

So now, let's invite Cindy.

You can try speaking slower.

My "University of Life"

has just begun.

You should greet guests

wherever you meet them,

even by the staircase.

No! Don't say, "Hello"!

Normally you say:

That's the proper way.

Most of the tourists are French

this time.

At lunch you let out the water.

When you come back at dinnertime

you add water.

You have to

keep plates and bowls seperate.

Otherwise, you damage them.

Here's the daily cleaning fluid.

Press that to wash.

If you don't do this properly,

the water leaks out.

It'll be messy.

Have a look.

This is the sink.

Here's the electricity switch

The first thing you do

every morning is switch it on.

The whole place will light up.

Plates with a blue circle

belong to the kitchen.

When the time comes,

I will set you up

with more complex work.

Okay.

So tired!

Pay attention

when talking to Americans

to not be overly modest

or polite.

Too modest

or a even little bit humble,

they might think

you're a bit fake.

Don't compare Canada to

the United States.

Don't talk about

Quebec independence.

Avoid the issue

of Northern Ireland.

Don't talk about this issue.

Don't talk about monarchies,

royalty or royal families,

or any relevant serious

political issues.

Don't call anybody

old, pale or fat!

In English you will say "plump".

Drain the water

after you take out the garbage.

Make sure everything is clean.

That's it.

You shouldn't say

that is good enough.

You need to finish it.

Make sure you clean the mess

thoroughly and properly.

You can't leave things

half-done.

If you have to clean this place,

then make it clean.

Don't cry.

Just do it slowly, okay?

You will learn more

by toughening up.

Don't be upset.

This is not difficult.

All you need to do

is to clean this up.

That's our duty.

It's not any easier

to serve in the dining hall.

You still need to work hard.

And this is straightforward work

and easy to do.

You always have to remind her

at work.

Yes, always have to remind her.

She doesn't know enough,

especially when

it comes to hygiene.

And communicating with people.

I got blisters on my hands

when I first came on the boat.

Nobody can help you.

If you're doing guest rooms,

you have to do

your own work.

Everybody has

their own duties to cover.

She really has to change a lot.
