WORDS IN CONTEXT.
C PAY
Most workers are paid (= receive money) every month and this pay goes directly into their bank account. It is called a salary. We can express the same idea using the verb to earn:
My salary is $ 60,000 a year. (= I earn $ 60,000 a year.)
With many jobs you get (= receive) holiday pay and sick pay (when you are ill). If you want to ask about holidays, you can say:
How much holiday do you get? or How may weeks' holiday do you get?
The total amount of money you receive in a year is called your income. This could be your salary from one job, or the salary from two different jobs you have. And on this income you have to pay part to the government - called income tax.
D WORKING HOURS
For many people in Britain, these are 8.30-9.00 a.m. to 5.00-5.30 p.m. Consequently people often talk about a nine-to-five job (= regular working hours). Some people have flexi-time (= they can start a hour or so earlier or finish later); and some have to do shiftwork (= working at different times, e.g. days one week and nights the next week). Some people also work overtime (= work extra hours). Some people are paid to do / work overtime, others are not paid.
Note: to do shiftwork = to work in shifts to work on a day / night shift
E GETTING A JOB
When Paul left school he applied for (= wrote an official request for) a job in the accounts department of a local engineering company. They gave him a job as a trainee. He didn't ear very much but they gave him a lot of training, and sent him on training courses.
Note: Training is an uncountable noun, so you cannot say "a training". You can only talk about training (in general), or a training course (if you want to refer to just one). Here you can use the verbs do or go on: I did / went on several training courseslast year.
F MOVING UP
Paul worked hard at the company and his prospects (future possibilities in the job) looked good. After his first year he got a good pay rise (a pay increase, salary increase), and after two years he was promoted (= given a higher position with more money and responsibility). After six years he was in charge of (= responsible for) the accounts department with five other employees (= workers in the company) under him (= under his responsibility).
G LEAVING THE COMPANY
By the time Paul was 30, however he decided he wanted a fresh challenge
(= a new exciting situation). He was keen to work abroad, so he resigned from his company ( officially told the company he was leaving his job; you can also say "he quit the company") and started looking for a new job with a bigger company. After a couple of months he managed to find a job with an international company which involved a lot of foreign travel. He was very excited about the new job and at first he really enjoyed the travelling, but...
H HARD TIMES
After about six months, Paul started to dislike the constant moving around, and after a year he hated it; he hated living in hotels, and he never really made friends in the new company. Unfortunately his work was notsatisfactory either and finally he was sacked(= told to leave the company / fired / dismissed / given the sack)a year later.
After that, Paul was unemployed(= out of work/ without a job / jobless)for over a year. He even had togo on the dole / to go on the relief.Things were looking bad and in the end Paul had to except a part-time job(= working only some of the day or someof the week)on a fruit and vegetable stall in a market.
Note: to be made redundant (as a result of thestuff reduction); to be given redundancy money; a full time-job; to work full-time
Find the logical answer on the right for each of the questions on the left.
a) Why did they sack him? b)Why did they promote him? c)Why did he apply for the job? d)Why did he retire? e)Why did he resign? f) Why did he go on the course? | Because he was nearly fifty. Because he was often late for work. Because he needed more training. Because he was out for work. Because he was the best person in the department. Because he didn’t like his boss. |
