Naomi: Y ou’re lucky, Marco. You can always get a job in the 3 if your IT plans don’t work out. (laughter) Marco: O h, thanks! You don’t have much 4 in me, do you? Anyway, what about you? Have you decided on your 5 yet? Naomi: W ell, I’ll definitely need geography for meteorology. And then – Marco: O h, are you going to be a meaty – er – a meaty whatsit? Naomi: Meteorologist, stupid! Pete: That’s why we always see her walking around with her head in the clouds! (laughter) Naomi: L augh if you like, guys, but just you wait! One day I’ll be there on TV, doing the weather forecast. And you’ll hear me predict a big storm coming in your direction! b) Now have a look at the leaflets on page 92 again. What additional information could be important for Naomi and Pete? Speaking – Individual long turn: Competition for popular jobs Give a five-minute talk on the topic of competition for popular jobs in which you • explain why it is so strong, • discuss why competition for jobs is/isn’t a good thing, • give advice to someone who dreams of a career for which there is a lot of competition. How to say what you see, hear or feel a) Compare the kinds of action these two forms express. • Which action do you see from beginning to end? • Which action do you only see in part? 1. I saw Marco working in the coffee bar. (= He was working there when I saw him.) 2. I saw Marco drop a cup of coffee. (= He dropped a cup of coffee, and I saw this.) b) Go through the dialogue “Just you wait!” on pages 92–93 and find more examples of participles or infinitives after verbs of perception and an object. What Pete saw Pete sometimes helps the vet he met during his work experience. The vet wants to know why a woman with a cat left before her appointment. Go on with what Pete says he saw/heard/watched/etc. Use your own ideas for linking the sentences. Start like this: “Well, I was outside the waiting room. But I heard … . So I went in and saw … .” 3 Tip Using verbs of perception Verbs of perception (see, hear, feel, etc.) and an object can be followed by a present participle (for only part of an action) or an infinitive without to (for an action you experience from beginning to end).
