Looking for a Job

Thursday 16^th April

Hi guys! How is it going?

So, what did we do last Thursday?

We started listening to Jorge and Pilar telling us about current news.

Pilar told us about the group ‘One Direction’ and the reasons of them breaking up. Jorge was more interested in boxing. He told us about the upcoming boxing combat in Las Vegas.

Then, we continued talking about the world of work.

We saw an advertisement for a job. The position is Assistant Accounts Manager. Responsibilities: in charge of the accounts department. Working hours are from 9.00 to 6.00. so, it’s a full-time job. There’s also the possibility of working overtime. Qualifications required: degree in accountancy. Employees will have some training at work. They could be promoted and could also have a permanent contract. Salary varies according to age and experience.

After that, we went through verbs followed by infinitive with to, bare infinitive, that is, without to and verbs followed by –ing

In other words, verb patterns.

·         I was so happy to receive your present. (After adjs, to +infinitive)

·         She was busy looking after her little sister. (Exception;after “busy”, ing)

·         He went to the sop to buy some bread. (To express purpose, why?)

·         Doing sport is healthy. (When the verb is the subject, ing)

·         The kid wasn’t tall enough to reach the door knob.(After too and enough)

·         Don’t leave the office without locking the door. (After prepositions)

·         They didn’t know where to run.(After question words, except “why”)

·         We went swimming last weekend. (After “go” for physical activities)

·         My niece would like to become a teacher when she grows up.(After would like, would love etc.)
