Second, booklets used adjectives such as `beautiful`, `delightful` to emphasize the attractiveness of tourism product and events.

Third, booklets used the polite ways of speaking to the readers by using `~supnida`, `~hapnida`. Fourth, English version of booklets lacked of storytelling structure in message.
