"Where are the drying options? Is it the menu with many small buttons below?" "How do I bring up the table?"...

As the former Beijing Asian Games Athletes Village, adjacent to the Bird's Nest,MPCandIBC's Media Village Huiyuan Apartment will host guests from all over the world this summer together with the Beijing Olympics Green Home located in the north of the Olympic Central Area7000The important responsibility of more than 10 registered journalists. by the w88 casino200The Media Village Accommodation Service Team, composed of teachers and students, is scattered in every corner of this community consisting of six high-rise buildings. They work at the front desk, reception, guest rooms, luggage, fitness center, laundry room, push-to-talk, customer service center and other positions. They use their hard work and sweat to contribute their seemingly meager but indispensable contribution to the smooth holding of the Olympic Games.

From 6 am to 10:30 pm

Xiao Chen, a freshman from the w88 casino of Finance, is responsible for the front desk reception of the fitness center. When the game comes, a reception team composed of four girls will be on duty every eight hours to receive media workers who come to the fitness center for exercise. In the gym not far from the front desk and near the swimming pool on the basement floor, volunteers from the University of International w88 are active.

When the reporter came to the swimming pool, the staff was measuring whether the bacterial content and water temperature in the water were up to standard. In order to cooperate with the work of the technical staff, a female volunteer jumped into the water with two other lifeguards to experience this in advance25meterLong swimming pool. "This is also part of the job," said the girl, who looked dashing in her swimsuit. "I also like to swim. I am a member of the swimming team in w88 casino, and I just used my skills today."

But in the locker room that is the only way to the swimming pool, the work is not as easy as swimming in the water. Putting clean bath towels, towels, and slippers in the locker, scrubbing and disinfecting the sink, and cleaning the shower room and bathroom are a heavy workload for college students who study all year round. The fitness center is open from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. every day. Even with three shifts, everyone has to spend more than five hours in the humid locker room.

"The quality of the foreign w88 students is very good, and many contents can be understood easily during the training. The w88 casino also cares about the students, and the leading teachers always accompany the students in the venue." Shao Bin, the venue manager of the fitness center (middle in the picture below), gave high praise to w88 casino volunteers. He told reporters that although the work in the fitness center is not complicated, it is very tedious. He believes that the students can do their best and complete the task successfully.

“One-touch call” serves as the call center for game-time accommodation services, except24In addition to hourly English services, consultation in Japanese, French, and Spanish is also provided during certain periods of time. It collects information from all aspects of the media village and integrates scheduling resources. The smooth operation of it directly affects the service quality of the entire media village. In the "Click to Talk" office, six volunteers from w88 casino are discussing their work over the past few days with their supervisor. They come from different departments and speak different languages. “We were so busy during the comprehensive exercise, the phone kept ringing, we kept talking and then we rushed out to solve the problem. We all feel very fulfilled because our work is valuable," volunteer Zhang Bei said about his feelings.

The work content of volunteers in room service is closer to that of waiters in a hotel. After arriving at the hotel every day, they will inventory and organize the items needed in the room, and then clean the dust and stains in every corner. Ma Changxing said in the "Daily Broadcast" compiled by the team: "After a long time, you will find the work boring and exhausting. But young people are not afraid of hardship and fatigue. As long as we have persistence and hard work, we can do well in a seemingly simple job. ”

Special birthday on the bus

In order to strengthen management and promote feelings and collaboration among volunteers, the accommodation service team has moved to Huizhi Building for unified accommodation.

In the accommodation service team's residence, as soon as you enter the door, you can see the "Weekly Star" honor list hanging high on the wall, as well as a bulletin board with daily broadcasts. Wang Zurui, the teacher who led the team, told reporters that the entire team was divided into eight groups, with 20 or 30 people in each group. An operation director was selected, and there were assistant supervisors, all of whom were students. During the service period, the operations supervisor will select the "Weekly Stars" with outstanding performance within the team and post their photos on the honor roll to serve as a demonstration. "Daily Report" publishes what happened in the media village in the form of a report to facilitate students to understand their own situation. Among them, the sections such as "Character Profiles", "Good People and Deeds", and "Service Voices" are very popular.

Olympic promotional stickers and posters from previous Olympic Games are covered on the walls of the building, which together with the banners hanging from the ceiling, create a strong Olympic atmosphere. There are TV rooms on each floor for students to relax and have fun. Hand sanitizer is placed in the water room. The names of dormitory members are posted on the door of each dormitory. The student party members are marked in conspicuous fonts and colors. As the backbone of the party branch of the service team, they will strive to set an example in their work. The team’s party building work has been quite effective,7month1Minister Wang Qiang of the Ministry of Education and Engineering also confirmed this when he inspected the condolence team.

Party members’ dormitories are “different”

In order to promote the enthusiasm of volunteers, the leading teachers have thought of many ways to organize various activities so that everyone can fully experience the fun of participation and sharing.

In intense test operations, volunteers who have completed a day's work are often exhausted. However7month13On this day, the bus taking everyone back to w88 casino has not left yet. It turned out that this day was the birthday of team member Liu Liu. The team specially prepared a birthday cake and greeting cards for him, and celebrated his special birthday on the bus.

7month17, the Olympic Village Accommodation Service Team of the w88 casino and the Olympic Village Accommodation Service Team of the Beijing University of Chemical Technology held a friendly basketball match on the plastic basketball court to enhance their relationship through sports. More than 400 volunteers from the two schools jointly shoulder the responsibility of serving the Huiyuan Apartment Media Village. The organization of this kind of event also provides an opportunity for students from the two schools to communicate.

During the work process, volunteers often find ways to increase the fun of work and reduce the boring level of work. serveN23510_23622

Compared to the comfortable learning and living environment in the w88 casino, the working environment in the media village seems much more difficult. Since the hotel requires volunteers to participate in services according to employee standards, it is difficult to have enough rest time and space during work breaks. When busy, people often work for several hours in a row. "At first some students would complain, but as time goes by, the Olympic Games have entered the sprint stage. They will soon contact foreign journalists and start serving guests and friends from all over the world, which will make everyone's emotions and patriotic enthusiasm become high." Wang Zurui said, after4Month Arrival6months of on-campus theoretical training, and7After months of practical training, the staff in the team have basically mastered the various work procedures and business, and are seizing the time to carry out the final exercises.

After lunch, the reporter found that the students who had finished eating first did not leave immediately, but were waiting in the hall to gather10The individuals then file back to the apartment. When the reporter asked in surprise, "Is this necessary?", the volunteer standing in the queue replied with a serious face, "Of course it is necessary! OurTEvery shirt has ‘w88 casino’ printed on itLOGO”. As they marched, not far behind them was the majestic and grand bird's nest, shining brightly in the sunlight.
