It teaches how to answer “Where do you work?” using correct prepositions (at, for, in, with) and how to add details such as responsibilities using “I’m responsible for…” with -ing verbs. The lesson then builds core employment terms like hired, employee, employer, colleagues, boss/supervisor, earn a salary, pay raise, promotion, bonus, fire, laid off, quit, resign, leave, and retire.

I’m his public relations manager.  \nI work in…  \nI work in…(a place):  \n• I work in an office.  \n• I work in a school.  \n• I work in a factory.  \nI work in…(a city/country):  \n• I work in Paris.  \n• I work in France.  \nI work in…(a department):  \n• I work in the marketing department.  \n• I work in human resources.  \n• I work in sales.  \nI work in…(a general area):  \n• I work in finance.  \n• I work in medical research.  \n• I work in consulting.  \nI work with…(things / people that are the objects of your day-to-day work)  \n• I work with computers.  \n• I’m a teacher. I work with special-needs children.  \nIf you want to add more details about your work, you can say “I’m responsible for…”  \n• I’m responsible for updating the company website.  \n• I’m responsible for interviewing candidates for jobs.  \nAfter “I’m responsible for…” use the-ING form of the verb.  \nLet’s review:  \n• I work at (a company) .  \n• I work for (a company / a person)  \n• I work in (a place, city, country, department, or general area)  \n• I work with (people / things)  \nIn conversational English, the question “Where do you work?” is commonly phrased as “What do you do?” or “What do you do for a living?”  \nHow do you answer this question if you don’t have a job?  \nYou can say “I’m unemployed” -or, more indirectly,“I’m between jobs at  \nthe moment.”  \nIf you work for yourself, you can say “I’m self-employed.” If you have your own company, you can say,“I own a small business,” or more specifically,“I own a restaurant” or “I own a graphic design company.”  \nNow let’s learn some essential employment vocabulary.  \nWhen you are officially accepted into a new job at a company, you are hired by the company. For example,“I was hired by an insurance company just two weeks after graduating from college.”  \nWhen you’re hired, you become an employee of the company. The company becomes your employer. The other employees in the company are your colleagues or coworkers. The person above you who is responsible for your work is your boss or supervisor.  \nAs an employee of the company, you earn a salary-money you receive regularly for your work. Don’t make the mistake of saying “win a salary” or“get a salary” – the correct verb is “earn.”  \nIf you’re good at your job, you might get a pay raise (or a raise)– an increase in your salary. You could also get a promotion-an increase in importance and authority. At the end of the year, some companies give their employees a bonus-extra money for work well done.  \nThe opposite of “hire” is fire-when your company forces you to leave your job. For example,“Peter was fired because he never came to work on time.”  \nUsually if someone is fired, it’s because they did something bad. If an employee loses his or her job because of a neutral reason, like the company reducing its size, then we say the employee was laid off. For example,“Donna was laid off when her company started having financial problems.”  \nIf you decide to leave your job, there are three verbs you can use:  \n• I’m going to quit my job.  \n• I’m going to leave my job.  \n• I’m going to resign.  \n“Quit” is informal,“resign” is formal, and “leave” can be formal or informal.  \nWhen an old person decides to stop working, the verb for this is retire. Inmost countries, people retire around age 65.  \nLet’s review the vocabulary you learned in this lesson. Listen and repeat to practice your pronunciation:  \n• hire  \n• employee  \n• employer  \n• colleague  \n• co-worker  \n• boss  \n• supervisor  \n• fire  \n• laid off  \n• earn a sa","cbCaivJsEbrGOvX9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivJsEbrGOvX9","pdf",612332,"English","# Lesson 1: Essential Job Vocabulary\n## Answering “Where do you work?”\n## Prepositions: at, for, in, with\n## Adding responsibilities with “I’m responsible for …”\n## Employment vocabulary: hired, employee, employer\n## Salary, pay raise, promotion, bonus\n## Fire, laid off, quit, resign, leave, retire\n## Review and quizzes\n## Quiz: Lesson 1\n## Bonus Quiz: Identify the Job","[{\"question\":\"How do you correctly answer “Where do you work?” in conversational English?\",\"answer\":\"You can answer “Where do you work?” using “I work at…”, “I work for…”, “I work in…”, or “I work with…”.
