(In English-speaking countries, ordinary jobs are called "9 to 5 jobs" because people usually start work at 9.00 am and finish work at 5 pm.) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Do you have a usual job, or an unusual job? (if you have one.) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On the next screen are some questions for you, to activate your vocabulary. &lt;b&gt;Take notes&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img vspace="0" hspace="3" border="0" align="texttop" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_f7_vgiYMQJw/S-FnwWR2mGI/AAAAAAAAAFI/-SlR3XC1RDE/s128/feedback_pre s.JPG"/&gt;Click on the &lt;b&gt;small lightbulb&lt;/b&gt; button for possible &lt;b&gt;answers&lt;/b&gt;.</mattext>

        <mattext label="text" texttype="text/html">These pictures are taken from the video about the night jobs. What do these people do? Do you remember other jobs in the video introduction that you have seen?</mattext>
        <mattext label="feedback" texttype="text/html" textBox="T">The people in the pictures are: a &lt;i&gt;doctor&lt;/i&gt; and a &lt;i&gt;nurse&lt;/i&gt;, a &lt;i&gt;policeman&lt;/i&gt; and a &lt;i&gt;waitress&lt;/i&gt;. The video introduction also showed a woman who may be a &lt;i&gt;secretary&lt;/i&gt; or an &lt;i&gt;office worker&lt;/i&gt;; a boy who may be a &lt;i&gt;baker&lt;/i&gt; or a &lt;i&gt;pizza maker&lt;/i&gt;; two people who are wearing yellow clothes, probably &lt;i&gt;construction workers&lt;/i&gt;; and a &lt;i&gt;security guard&lt;/i&gt;. Probably, you have thought of the &lt;i&gt;bus drivers&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;taxi drivers&lt;/i&gt; who take people to work and back home. Finally, you have seen the picture of a &lt;i&gt;DJ&lt;/i&gt; on the "instructions" screen.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Job words are &lt;i&gt;usually the same for men and women&lt;/i&gt;, but not always. A "waitress" is a woman; the man is a "waiter"; similar cases are "actor" and "actress", or "steward" and "stewardess". A "policeman" is a man: women are "policewomen". &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is a tendency to use words that can refer to both men and women instead of words for men only and for women only: instead of saying "stewards and stewardesses", they say &lt;i&gt;flight attendants&lt;/i&gt;, and instead of saying "policemen and policewomen", they say &lt;i&gt;police officers&lt;/i&gt;.</mattext>

        <mattext label="feedback" texttype="text/html" textBox="T">&lt;i&gt;Several foreigners who live in the US talk about their job:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"I have been working as a &lt;i&gt;cashier&lt;/i&gt; at McDonald’s, and I like my job because it is fun. People are friendly and my boss is very nice." (Rocío; at &lt;i&gt;Home in a New Land&lt;/i&gt;, http://newland.bloxio.us/, 2007.) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"I got a job as a &lt;i&gt;teacher&lt;/i&gt; in China. I loved to teach very much. It gave me a chance to learn how to interact with different people with different social experiences, and that was very important to me." (Grace; at &lt;i&gt;Home in a New Land&lt;/i&gt;, http://newland.bloxio.us/, 2007.) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"I am a &lt;i&gt;manager&lt;/i&gt; at a fast food restaurant, and I think that it is very stressful sometimes. But I like my job because it's not hard to do; the only hard part to do is listening to the customers' complaints. (Armando; at &lt;i&gt;Esol1260’s Weblog&lt;/i&gt;, http://esol1260.wordpress.com/, 2008.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"Now I am working as a photo &lt;i&gt;technician&lt;/i&gt;. I really enjoy my job because every day I gain more knowledge about digital camera technologies and photography." (Anh; at &lt;i&gt;Esol1260’s Weblog&lt;/i&gt;, http://esol1260.wordpress&lt;br&gt;.com/, 2008.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"I'm a French aeronautics &lt;i&gt;engineer&lt;/i&gt;. I like my job because it's all about new technology and it's very interesting." (Vasselin; at &lt;i&gt;Care&lt;/i&gt;, http://www.care.com/.)</mattext>

Much better than my old job as a computer operator." (Mike Farley, Crewkerne, UK) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"I test new cooking instructions and taste new recipes for food companies. This involves basically eating lots of free food!" (Ian, Doncaster, Yorkshire) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"One summer I worked as a DVD tester. This involved watching DVDs, so I was in seventh heaven. The only problem was working night shifts and having to stay awake for film after film. In the mornings I couldn't even remember the films." (Dan, Aberdeen) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"My worst job was putting the beef in the hamburger machine years ago. In a noisy factory you climbed three steps and put in a tray of meat which was formed into hamburgers for packing. You couldn't work fast, or the machine stopped working. I only stayed a day and I hope a machine does it all now!!" (Alex, London, UK) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"Have you ever wondered how those little stickers end up on apples? Well, stop wondering: we used to stick them on by hand, for £4.50 an hour." (Mike G, London, UK) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"When I was a student, I worked one vacation as a chicken-sexer. We had to look at all these new-born chickens and determine which were male and which were female. Since then, I can't eat chicken!" (Roger Price, Reading, UK)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Adapted from "Do You Have an Unusual Job?" &lt;/i&gt;Have your Say&lt;i&gt;, BBC News (http://news.bbc.co.uk/), last updated 30 August 2005.)</mattext>
