In this task you will have to describe, using specific vocabulary, regular duties for a certain job but don't give the job name. Your colleagues will guess, therefore be specific but also tricky! You can refer to real people most of you are familiar with.
Eg. She works at our university. She types courses for students. She receives the professors' manuscripts and evaluates their complexity according to the number of pages, charts and graphics and then gives an estimate of the time necessary for typing them. The first printing offers the professor an overview of the course and he/she can make all the alterations that they consider necessary. Then she corrects all the errors and makes all the other necessary changes in order to give an attractive and well balanced look to each page. She turns the last printing into a matrix, which is then multiplied into the hundreds of copies you can buy and learn from.
Can you guess who the person is and what her job is?
one work and others stay, its funny and that work you find in Romania, it's practice to stay in time of work
ReplyDeleteHe/She works in the kitchen. He/She knows all the secrets of the best recipes to attract his/her clients. He/She makes cakes, soupes, snacks, sweets, salades, but he/she can also amaze his/her guests with a tasty croissant or a hot bread. Sometimes he/she runs out of some ingredients but in this case he/she always knows what to do, how to mix all that he/she got to obtain the wanted product. Usually he/she buys the ingredients-for the food he/she would like to prepare-from the market because there it is always fresh, and in some cases also this person has to wash the dishes... Whom I'm talking about? :)

There's one point I'd like you to pay attention to: try to be consistent with your 's', e.g. she arranges, manages, etc. but also she handles, organizes,manages, and she must prepare coffee!
Waiting for your contributions in older posts, too.

answer to marya,
ReplyDeletethe person you described is a secretary
The person that has this job is a carefull and skilled person. This job involves a high risk because you have to deal with dangerous people and/or situations. The work program is usualy 8h/day in an office or on the field depending on your rank. In this job you have to swear an oath to protect and serve the people and your country.
ReplyDeleteHow many students have planted at least a tree, so we can feel a little better about pollution???
ReplyDeleteOana,
ReplyDeletethat is a tough question. Let's see who's gonna answer it. What is your answer?
I want to talk about a person who works in a workshop.He deals with wood and sharp tools based on iron.He manipulates the wood with those tools in order to obtain four types of instruments,and one of them is the violin.
ReplyDeleteHe is a person who has very good skills in wood molding and techincal,and artistical drawing.He checks the material.The material quality matters very much.He assumes a great responsability at work ,and if he fails at work everything goes back from the beginning.His job is also less healthy ,because he inhales very much dust,and even dangerous sometimes.
I think the person described by Sergiu is a police officer.
ReplyDeleteHe/she work for the country protection and he/she controls the traffic between two countries.He/she controls suspicious vehicles and persons who want to pas or to transport illegal things in other countries.
ReplyDeleteDear Vild,
ReplyDeleteyou were supposed just to write about job responsibilities and your colleagues should have guessed what job you are talking about.
Interesting job, though.
When we have a job automaticaly we have more responsebilities. The most important thing, in my opinion is punctuality. We must do our job as good as we can. We need to take care of people, to keep order, silence, and peace in a city.In this job, we need to patrol on the streets. This job includes danger and correctness.
