Work and Jobs


Monday 10th March

Hi everybody!

Yes, most of us like spring or summer because we are on holiday. There’s no class and we have more free time to go with our friends. The weather is sunny and hot and we can go to the swimming pool or to the beach.

Nacho likes the summer because he can go to Alicante. He can see his family and his dogs.
Andrea likes the autumn because the leaves in the trees have different colours: orange, brown, yellow…and the weather is still warm and nice.
Manuel also likes summer. He goes to France and to the beach.
María likes summer, too. The weather is hot and sunny. And she also likes the summer because it’s the season when her birthday is.
Almudena also likes summer for similar reasons.

What about me? I like hot, sunny and dry weather. I like the summer because it’s when I have more free time to spend with my family and friends. But when you get older you like all the seasons because you see something good in each of them.
Autumn, (the fall, in American English) is really nice because the leaves have different colours.
Winter is cold. (I don’t like cold weather, but I like the days when it snows and I enjoy Christmas very much)
And, of course, spring. At that time days start getting longer and the weather is warm. Flowers bloom, (appear) and everybody looks happy!

Enough of the weather and the seasons!
Let’s talk about work and jobs!

Remember:

“What do you do?” It’s the same as “What’s your job?”
But we are going to use “What do you do?” because it’s more common in English.

·         What do you do? I’m a teacher.
·         What do you do? You’re students.
·         What does she do? She’s an acrobat.
·         What does he do? He’s a chef.
·         What does she do? She’s a secretary.
·         What does he do? He’s a vet. (Vet is short for veterinarian)

Remember to use “a”, “an” before jobs. Only in singular. “A” before consonant; “an” before a vowel sound.

A doctor   an engineer   a teacher   a mechanic   a judge   an architect   an artist  
A chefs    a doctors   a pilot   a shop assistants   a clerk

·         What does she do? She’s an acrobat.
·         Where does an acrobat work? An acrobat works in the circus.
·         Who works in the circus? An acrobat.

·         What does he do? He’s a chef.
·         Where does a chef work? He works in a kitchen.
·         Who works in a kitchen? A chef.

For homework, write at least five lines describing one or two jobs. Only one or two jobs; not five jobs. The example doesn’t count as one!


She is a nurseShe works in a hospital. She wears a uniform and she helps people. 
She works long hours. She doesn't perform operations.
