【一起闲话英语】工作—Work

Transcript: 

 

 

A.

I work on Saturdays and in the school holidays. Saturdays are busy because that’s when everyone goes shopping. Our shop sells clothes and accessories² for men, women and children.  I work in the children’s department³. It can be crazy⁴ sometimes, but it’s fun.

 

B.

I work during⁵ my summer holidays when I’m not at university⁶. Oxford⁷ has thousands of tourists¹¹ in the summer, so it’s easy to find a job as⁸ a tour⁹ guide¹². I take tourists to visit the university colleges¹³ and then we go down to the river. We go along¹⁴ the river on a boat. The tourists love the boat trip, but last summer one tourist¹⁰ fell¹⁵ in the river! I love meeting¹⁶ people from all over the world.

 

C.

I like my job, but lots of people don’t like coming to see me because they hate¹⁷ dentists. Sometimes it’s very hard work, but it’s great to help people when they have a problem¹⁸. It’s so important¹⁹ to look after your teeth.

 

D.

My job is very difficult, but I like it because I love flying. I fly planes that take people to different places on holiday. Most of the time I fly in Europe²⁰ to places like Spain²¹, Greece²² and Italy²³. The most difficult thing about my job is when the weather is bad. Snow and thunderstorms are the worst²⁴. The best thing is visiting different places.

 

E¹.

I work in a hospital in the city centre²⁵. It’s a very big hospital. I help the doctors with the patients²⁶. I give them their medicine²⁷ and look after them when they feel ill. I love my job but I don’t like the uniform and sometimes I have to work at night.
