- Cleaning Staff - Vocabulary and requests dealing with cleaning rooms and taking care of guests

- Taking an Order - Vocabulary and situations related to serving customers in a restaurant

Everything on this site is very helpful; it’s my favorite site. I use it as a teacher, and as a student as well. Thank you Mr. Kenneth!
Kenneth. What a lifesaver your site has been!
I’ve been teaching EFL for 15 years and sometimes run out of ideas. Then I found ESL on About.com. Many thanks to you. Jessica.
Hi Ken, how about responding something else but still regarding service, customer, etc. for example: how to respond a customer who is looking for an appartment closeby. The customer’s query is already a week ago, but I’d like to respond to the customer to find him the appartment he needs
ken, the whole site About.com is great, I’ve been an ESL for 8 years in monterrey, mexico and usually ask my students to solve your quizzes on line, they love to do it, every activity is so useful. i like the whole site activities. My peers already know about you and love this web site as well.
congrats,
Some Words never explain feeling but some feeling can explain much words.(highly appreciating your on line assistance Mr. Ken & the same goes to About.com).
step by step Mr. Ken you improved my language very well.

Ken you’re blogs and materials are good as gold. thank you so much for all this.
Dear Ken
That is a great site. And i got a lot of new things
I´ve learned a lot, but it´s more difficult listening than reading…I always visit your page.thank you for existing
Hi Ken God bless you for the giving heart you have. I went in a very remote area and i never got a chance to learn good english because many teachers never interested in teaching in rural areas.Now i can learn what i missed in my childhood from your site. Be blessed my brother and thank God for enabling you to use your talent and sharing it with others.
