Structuring an essay and summarizing is very beneficial for the writer and reader. It gets the writers points across quickly and succinctly yet it still states the main points mentioned in the original document.

Summarizing has countless benefits, it is built and structured based on your understanding of the text and written in your own words, therefore the writer will understand it well. It also allows you to grasp the main point more easily. In addition it provides the main points of the article but in a more condensed and abstract matter. The main idea won't be lost since the writer wont be expressing his own idea's and judgements, It is mostly restating previously mentioned points. Essays and summaries help students greatly while studying since it helps with remembering the information, It is shorter than the original article which makes it very helpful when studying. Additionally, it helps the student mention points in order. 

Not only is summarizing an advantage for students, but it is also benifical to Teachers since they can rate and evaluate the students ability to gather the important information within the assigned text without losing the original texts main point and most importantly if the student actually understood the original document. 

Summarizing helps us gather information from an original document more easily and swiftly while still showing the reader that the concept is surely understood. It also help us while reading other subjects to get the main points from the paragraphs from summarizing it .

Essay 2 : Ritz Carlton

A.    Introduction

“You can't be a legend without a great story” The Ritz-Carlton Hotel is a place where the genuine care and comfort of our guests is our highest mission.

The Hotel pledge to provide the finest personal service and facilities for guests who will always enjoy a warm, relaxed, yet refined ambience.

100 years of history, Countless rewards, with an unshakeable credo and corporate philosophy of un-wavering commitment to service, both in our hotels and in our communities, The Ritz-Carlton has been recognized with numerous awards for being the gold standard of hospitality.

The history of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. originates with The Ritz-Carlton, Boston. The standards of service, dining and facilities of this Boston landmark serve as a benchmark for all Ritz-Carlton hotels and resorts worldwide.

The legacy of The Ritz-Carlton, Boston begins with the celebrated hotelier Cesar Ritz, the king of hoteliers and hotelier to kings. His philosophy of service and innovations redefined the luxury hotel experience in Europe through his management of The Ritz Paris and The Carlton in London. 

Cesar Ritz died in 1918 but his wife Marie continued the expansion of hotels bearing his name.  In the United States, The Ritz-Carlton Investing Company was established by Albert Keller who bought and franchised the name.  In 1927 The Ritz-Carlton, Boston, opened and other hotels followed in New York (at Madison and 54th), Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Atlantic City and Boca Raton.  However, by 1940 none of the hotels were operating except The Ritz-Carlton, Boston. The hotel embodies the vision of Cesar Ritz, Yankee ingenuity and Boston social sensibilities.

B.    Body of the Report

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel is a place where the genuine care and comfort of our guests is the highest mission. The Hotel is committed to treating its guests like royalty. They pledge to provide the finest personal service and facilities for the guests who will always enjoy a warm, relaxed, yet refined ambience. It has one of the most distinctive corporate cultures in the lodging industry. At this hotel, our Ladies and Gentlemen are the most important resource in our service commitment to our guests.

Its motto is printed on a card that employees carry with them “We are Ladies and Gentlemen serving Ladies and Gentlemen” and they are trained in very precise standards and specifications for treating customers. Ritz employees are continually schooled in company lore and company values. And these values are the basis for all employee training and rewards. Nothing is left to chance when it comes to providing exemplary customer service. Potential recruits are tested both for cultural fit and for traits associated with an innate passion to serve. A company executive says, “The smile has to come naturally”. Although staff members are expected to be warm and caring, their behavior toward guests had been extremely detailed and scripted. That is why a new customer service philosophy implemented in mid-2006 was such a radical departure from what the Ritz had been doing.

The company’s new approach is almost the opposite from what the company has been doing. The employees should not be told on how to make guests happy. Now they are expected to figure it out by themselves.  The company moved away from that heavily prescriptive, scripted approach and toward managing to outcomes. The outcome didn’t change, though. The goal is still a happy guest who’s wowed by the services received. However, under the new approach, staff members’ interactions with guests are more natural, relaxed and authentic rather than sounding like they are lines from a manual.

C.     Conclusion and Recommendations

It is recommended that by applying the principles of trust, honesty, respect, integrity and commitment of the employees, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel will continue to be the place where the genuine care and comfort is experienced and will continue to have countless rewards.

It will talk about how it started and how it developed and where is it now and who created Bluetooth which has a large affect in the world nowadays. It will include what is the name of the radio technology that Bluetooth uses.

In the early history Bluetooth was created by Ericsson Mobile Communications in 1994.

At the first most of the people didn’t know how to use Bluetooth , but now they are working with Bluetooth in so many applications and it exists in so many products such as I pad , I pod , headset , Play station 3 and mobile phone headset. Now it has more than 15,000 member companies in the areas of telecommunication, computing and networking. The radio technology that Bluetooth uses is called frequency-hopping spread spectrum. It is a useful technology because it can transfer information with more than one device. The Bluetooth has become better because it has improved a lot now a days.

Bluetooth can be used not in all devices only on the devices which are qualified for it. It can communicate with 7 devices at the same time. To use the technology the device must have Bluetooth profile to connect with other devices. The Bluetooth special interest group had formalized the specifications in May , 1998 . they can connect to any device that has the application of Bluetooth. But it must not be from a far distance otherwise it won’t be able to find the device which will not allow you to connect with other devices .

Region’s carbon emissions doubled

 Over the past 30 years , the middle-eastern continues of the arab world , has been in a constant tread towards development . This has had a positive impact on the region, which has allowed it to develop at an amazing rate, while on the other hand, this has taken its roll on the environment, through the emissions and burning of fossil fuels

As a result , they have created a great deal of emissions which harm the environment in the process , due to the abundance of fossil fuels and oil in the region . In addition, current statistics have shown that Qatar , has the largest carbon footprint in the region .

In conclusion , the use of fossil fuels and the results of environmental damage are two sides of the same coin. One side have economical development, while the other is the pollution of the environment. The best solution is to use them conservatively.
