What do you do? or What's your job?


Here is some vocabulary about jobs
In English we normally ask the following questions:
What do you do? or  What’s your job?
And we can answer like this:
I’m a student.     
I’m an office worker.         
I’m unemployed.
Now watch this video:

Days of the week

Here is a cool song about the days of the week by 'The Cure'.
NOTE: Group NB1 20-22 has listened to it in class.


Now watch this other funny video:



Here are the words so you can sing along.
Oh no, no, I never go to work
Oh no, no, I never go to work
Oh no, no, I never go to work
Oh no, no, I never go to work 
 
On Mondays, I never go to work
On Tuesdays, I stay at home
On Wednesdays, I’m never feeling fine
Work is the last thing on my mind
On Thursdays, it’s a holiday!
And Fridays I detest
Oh, it’s much too late on a Saturday
And Sunday is the day of rest 
 
Oh yes, yes, practise trumpet everyday
Oh yes, yes, practise trumpet everyday
Oh yes, yes, practise trumpet everyday
Oh yes, yes, practise trumpet everyday 
Practise Monday
Practise Tuesday
Practise Wednesday
Practise Thursday
And Friday
And I practise all night on Saturday
So on Sundays I play best 
Oh no, no, I never go to work
Oh no, no, I never go to work
Oh no, no, I never go to work
Oh no, no, I never go to work 
On Mondays, I never go to work
On Tuesdays, I stay at home
On Wednesdays, I’m never feeling fine
Work is the last thing on my mind
On Thursdays, it’s a holiday!
And Fridays I detest
Oh, it’s much too late on a Saturday
And Sunday is the day of rest
It’s the day of rest

Colours

This is a typical rainbow. It’s made of different colours: these are the names of the colours in English.
Black   White   Red  Yellow  Blue  Green   Orange   Purple  Brown   Grey  Pink

Colours, like all adjectives, don’t take plurals or gender (feminine or masculine). See these examples:

The Union Jack is red, white and blue.
The German flag is black, red and yellow.
Penguins are black and white.
Aubergines are purple.
Lettuce is green.
Lemons are yellow.
Oranges are orange!


There are different shades of colours, so you can say dark or light to specify.
Now check you know your colours here and try and remember their spelling here
All adjectives, and also colours, go before the noun they modify. Example:
My car is a blue Fiat.    My car is a red Ferrari.   I have a pink house.
Complete these sentences with the right colour
Here you are two videos to practise the colours:

The Rainbow Colors Song.

Finally, test yourself with this funny puzzle.
