Hi.
Welcome to six minute vocabulary.
My name's Catherine, and I'm here with Rob.
Hello, everyone.
Today we're going to be talking about different words for jobs, and especially how those words change depending on whether a man or a woman is doing the job.
Yes.
And listen carefully because we're going to give you a quick quiz, and then.
You'Ll get a tip to help with your vocabulary learning.
Right.
So let's get started.
First, we're going to listen to Joe talking about how he met his girlfriend, Judith.
While you listen, here's a question for you to think about.
What is Judith's job?
Now listen carefully.
Well, I used to be an actor, and I met Judith at work.
We were doing a play about a policeman who falls in love with a waitress.
I played the policeman and Judith played the waitress.
And sure enough, we fell in love.
Later, I quit acting, and now I'm a businessman.
