00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:04.240
hard enough in your own language let

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:10.160
straightforward structures that will

6
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:12.639

00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:14.960

later let's get on with the lesson

17
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.840
now obviously not everyone has a job so

18
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.159
to answer the question what do you do

19
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:52.399
will depend on your situation

20
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:54.320
if you're at school or a university

21
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.239
you'd say i'm a student for those

22
00:00:56.239 --> 00:00:58.320
managing a home or raising children you

23
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.480
might say i'm a homemaker and for those

24
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:02.480
of you who don't have a job you might

25
00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:06.000
say i'm in between jobs right now or i'm

26
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:07.920

follow-up question something like doing

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.919
what so this is when we can expand on

110
00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:21.680

111
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.759

construction firm i'm responsible for

116
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:34.800
recruitment and payroll i work in

117
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.160
customer services dealing with

118
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.400
complaints so you see there we say what

119
00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:41.120
we do our job and then we talk about the

120
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:42.560
role that we have so some of the

121
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.479
responsibilities that we might have day

122
00:04:44.479 --> 00:04:46.639
to day now here are a few really useful

123
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.040
verbs that will help us to talk about

124
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.440
our role to head up something means to

125
00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:53.360
be in charge of something to be

126
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.680
responsible for something is also to be

127
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.080
in control of it to deal with means to

128
00:04:58.080 --> 00:04:59.839
take action or to make decisions to

129
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.400
solve problems to be involved in means

130
00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:05.040
to be part of an activity or an event

131
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.000
we've also got a phrase i'm the then the

132
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:10.639
role that we have and then lead so i'm

133
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.560
the customer services lead and that

134
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.400
means i'm the person making the

135
00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:16.240
decisions so you could be i'm the

136
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:18.560
marketing lead or i'm the product lead

137
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.160
so that's a really nice way of saying

138
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.919
that you are in charge of making

139
00:05:21.919 --> 00:05:24.160
decisions we also use the word run so

140
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:25.520
that means that you're in control of

141
00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:27.360
something we can say take care of which

142
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.080
is taking responsibility for something

143
00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:32.400
we've got the word oversee which is to

144
00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:34.720
watch or organize something to make sure

145
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:36.800
it's done well so often if you're quite

146
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:38.960
high up in a company you might oversee

147
00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:41.440
something and to help with which means

148
00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:44.479
to make something easier for someone or

149
00:05:44.479 --> 00:05:46.479
