3 Read the text below and pay attention to the words in bold.
A) What do you do?
To find out what someone’s job is you say ‘What do you do?’ Here, Kerstin talks about her job:
‘I work for a large European car maker. I work on car design. In fact, I run the design department and I manage a team of designers: 20 people work under me. It’s very interesting. One of my main responsibilities is to make sure that new model designs are finished on time. I’m also in charge of design budgets.
I deal with a lot of different people in the company. I’m responsible for co-ordination between design and production: I work with managers at our manufacturing plants.’
B) Word combinations with ‘work’
If
you
work
or
have work,

‘work’:
Hi, I’m Frank. I work in a bank in New York City. I leave for work at 7.30 every morning.
I go to work by train and subway.
I get to / arrive at work at about nine.
I’m usually at work till six.
Luckily, I don’t get ill very much so I’m not often off work.
The economy is growing fast and more people are in work than ever before. The percentage of people out of work has fallen to its lowest level for 30 years.
