ENGLISH VOCABULARY IN USE PRE INTERMEDIATE

UNIT 36 TALKING
ABOUT YOUR WORK

A

What do you do?

People can ask what job you do in different ways; you can answer in
different ways.

B

What does
that involve?*

James and
Emma are business consultants
[people who help others in a particular area]. They advise people who want to set
up [start] a business, especially in health and fitness. James deals with the marketing [does the
work in marketing; syn handle], while Emma is responsible for [in control of; syn in charge of] products [things that people make/produce] such as towels, equipment,
beauty products, etc.

Common
mistakes

I have a lot of work to do.
(NOT I have a lot of works to do.)

She advises me. (NOT She advices me.) BUT She gives me advice. (NOT She gives me advise.)

My job involves a lot of
travel. OR My job involves travelling. (NOT My job involves to travel.)

Amy is a
manager in a veterinary surgery. She runs
[organises or controls] the day-to-day
[happening every day] business of the surgery and is in charge of a small
team: three receptionists, an accounts manager and a secretary. Her work
involves a lot of admin [short
for administration] such as buying food, medicine and equipment; she also
handles any complaints that
customers make. [when customers complain
/ say that something is wrong or is not satisfactory]

* What do you
have to do exactly?

C

Pay

Most workers are paid [receive money] every
month; this is called a salary.
Your income is the total amount
of money you receive in a year. This might be money from one job; it might
be money from two jobs. We can express this in different ways:

My income is about £25,000. OR
I earn/make about £25,000 a year [every year]. Some of that
income you can keep, but some goes to the government; in the UK this is
called income tax, e.g. I lose 20% of my income in income tax.

Language
help

A salary is money paid to professional people, e.g. doctors or
teachers, and to office workers for the work they do, and is usually paid
into a person’s bank account every month. Wages are usually paid for each hour/day/week of work to
people who do more physical jobs, e.g. building or cleaning.

D

Conditions*

Most people
work fixed hours [always the
same], e.g. 9 am to 5.30 pm. We often call this a nine-to-five job. Other people have to do/work overtime [work extra hours]. Some people get paid for
overtime; others don’t. Some people have good working conditions, e.g. nice
offices, paid holidays, extra time off
[not at work] for a new mother and father when a baby is born, etc. There
is also a minimum wage [an
amount of money workers receive, and employers cannot pay less than this].

* the
situation in which people work or live

ANSWER KEY

Источник

Do new technologies and the world of art go together? Can we still expect audiences to sit still during a whole film or theatre 1) production? Will they want to go to an art 2) gallery to silently admire (with their mobiles off!) the 3) pictures of Picasso, Monet and many others? Or will they prefer to play interactive games with their eyes 4) wide open to all sorts of screens? It’s a matter of choice, of course. But even if we opt for the ‘old-fashioned’ art, do we still remember how to behave in a proper, ‘old- fashioned’ way?
I have never been much of a theatre 5) goer. Recently though, I decided to see Three Days of Rain (written by an American 6) playwright Richard Greenberg) at the Jacobs Theatre with Julia Roberts starring in the 7) leading role. It might not be a box 8) office success, and you can argue about the quality of Roberts’s acting (this being her first time on 9) stage). But it’s no excuse for the appalling behaviour of several of the people in the audience. From the moment the lights went out, I could hear text messages and people answering their mobiles. Appalling! Don’t you think we should all 10) take up to the dangers that modern technologies bring to contemporary culture?
Технологический прогресс = культурная регрессия?
Сочетаются ли новые технологии и мир искусства? Можем ли мы по-прежнему ожидать, что зрители будут сидеть на месте в течение всего фильма или театрального представления? Будут ли они хотеть пойти в художественную галерею, чтобы тихо любоваться (с выключенными мобильными телефонами!) картинами Пикассо, Моне и многих других? Или они предпочитают играть в интерактивные игры, широко открывая глаза на экраны всех видов? Конечно, это вопрос выбора. Но даже если мы выберем «старомодное» искусство, неужели мы все еще помним, как вести себя правильно, «старомодно»?
Я никогда не был большим поклонником театра (театралом). В последнее время я решил посмотреть «Три дня дождя» (написанный американским драматургом Ричардом Гринбергом) в театре Джейкобса с Джулией Робертс в главной роли. Возможно, это не успех кассовых сборов, и вы можете спорить о качестве игры Робертс (это был ее первый раз на сцене). Но это не повод для ужасающего поведения нескоторых людей в аудитории. С того момента, как погас свет, я слышал текстовые сообщения и людей, которые отвечали на мобильные телефоны. Ужасающе! Разве вы не думаете, что все мы должны взяться за опасности, которые современные технологии привносят в современную культуру?
