ELEMENTARY COURSE, 2022, CLASS 4

 This week we revised the topic of jobs. In pairs we described a job and the rest of the class had to guess it. Some examples: 


Azafata/auxiliar de vuelo: Trabajo en un avión. Ayudo a los pasajeros con las maletas y sirvo la comida. Hablo diferentes idiomas. Mis horas de trabajo son muy variables - A flight attendant. I work on a plane. I help the passengers with the suitcases and serve food. I speak different languages and my work hours are very varied. 


Granjero: Trabajo en el campo con animales. Trabajo mucho por la mañana. Cultivo frutas y verduras y vendo la comida - A farmer. I work in the countryside with animals. I work a lot in the mornings. I grow fruit and vegetables and I sell the food. 


We did the listening on page 11. Some new words and expressions: 

poner la mesa - to set the table

llevar la comida a los clientes - to bring the food to the customers

me dan una buena propina - they give me a good tip

no me gusta estar todo el día de pie - I don’t like to be standing all day

cuido mascotas - I take care of pets

la gente me trae su mascota - the people bring their pet to me

larguísimo - very long

eso es una desventaja - that is a disadvantage

conduzco - I drive

llevo a pasajeros de un sitio a otro - I take passengers from one place to another

a veces casi no se avanza - sometimes you can barely move forward

plancho - I do the ironing

arreglo la casa - I tidy up the house

me aburro como una ostra - It literally means ‘I get bored like an oyster’ - I get bored to death


In the last part of the class, we discussed what the best job would be. Some examples: 


El mejor trabajo es una influencia en las redes sociales porque viajas a muchos lugares del mundo, conoces a muchas personas y recibes regalos de marcas famosas - The best job is an influencer on social media because you travel to lots of places in the world, you meet a lot of people and receive gifts from famous brands. 


El mejor trabajo del mundo es un futbolista porque no trabajas mucho, ganas mucho dinero y conoces a muchos aficionados. - The best job is a footballer because you don’t work a lot, you earn a lot of money and you meet a lot of fans.
