How To Use Vocabulary In Real Life About Work

how to use vocabulary in real life about

work let’s jump right in going to work

now there are many different types of

transportation that people use to get

from home to work some people use the

Train now the question is though what do

we call these individuals well in

English we call them commuter one more

time commuter the meaning is someone who

regularly travels between work and home

so an example sentence is the train was

packed with commuters now before we move

on I want to explain one word in this

sentence the word is packed after me

packed now this word just means to have

little or no space between the parts so

again to have little or no space between

the parts okay between the parts now in

English we have a very useful idiom that

uses the word packed inside of it

the idiom is packed like sardines

sardines are the little fish that come

in side of a can so let me draw this

right here I remember growing up my dad

enjoyed eating sardines they were little

fish and they looked like this but there

were a lot of fish that came in this one

can but as you notice there’s no space

in between them so we say packed like

sardines okay let’s keep going now we’re

going to look at an advanced version of

this sentence and remember in order to

make a sentence advanced or longer you

need to make sure that it has the five

W’s okay if you need help on this look

at the video in the top right corner

there’s a link okay five W’s which are

who

what when where and why so let’s read

the advanced sentence first the train in

Washington DC was packed with commuters

this afternoon because it is Friday so

the first W who well we just learned

that commuters refers to people who

travel between work and home

what well we know that they are packed

in side of the Train okay packed in the

train when well we know it was this

afternoon where we see that it’s

Washington DC and why because it is

Friday

so this proves that this is an advanced

English sentence all right now let’s

keep going to the next one some people

also take the bus to work I remember

when I lived in Korea I also took the

bus sometimes but once again what do we

call these individuals you got it

commuters again commuters now this is

the next sentence we’re going to look at

it says many commuters prefer to take

the bus instead of the Train now within

this sentence there’s one word I want us

to look at the word is prefer again

prefer now this word just means to like

something more than something else okay

again to like something more than

something else so for example let’s use

the Sun to represent the daytime and

let’s use the moon to represent the

nighttime well personally I am a morning

person so I prefer the day over the

nighttime so I can say I prefer the

daytime okay all right let’s keep going

now what we’re gonna do again is we’re

gonna look at an advanced version of

this sentence using what

you got it the five W’s so let’s revisit

ins

first says many new york city commuters

prefer to take the early morning bus

instead of the train because there are

less people on the bus alright so let’s

get started

whoo well we know our who is New York

City commuters this part of the sentence

what well we know they prefer to take

the early morning bus instead of the

train all right when well it’s actually

inside of our previous answer

early morning okay where well is it’s

also inside New York City who what when

where and why because there are less

people on the bus so you see we answered

all of the five W’s which means this is

an advanced sentence okay now let’s go

to our next example now some people take

the train or the bus and there are many

types of trains now again what do we

call people that take the train or the

bus or travel to work you got it

commuter once again commuter okay so

let’s look at the next sentence here we

go audiobooks are a common form of

entertainment used by commuters now in

this sentence we see one expression that

I would like to explain to you all the

expression is form of entertainment now

this is very simple it just means one

type of entertainment again one type of

entertainment there are many different

types of entertainment for example we

have the television many people use this

as their main form of entertainment or

you have physical books people like

reading books or magazines these are

different types or

forms of entertainment all right now

let’s keep going let’s look at the

advanced version of this sentence

remember advanced means that it answers

the five W’s okay here we go

audiobooks are a common form of

entertainment used by commuters on the

bus when they are on their way home from

work because they are convenient

now the first W is who so we’ll be

talking about commuters what we’re

talking about audiobooks being a common

form of entertainment when well when

they are on their way home from work who

what when where when they are on the bus

and why because they are convenient so

yes this is an advanced sentence okay

all right now let’s keep going

your boss at work

so we all have different types of

managers at our jobs

but sometimes bosses have to be a little

bit tough in English we say demanding

one more time demanding it means

requiring or claiming more than it’s

generally needed requiring intense

effort or attention now our sentence

looks like this my boss is so demanding

now in this sentence there’s a very easy

word so and I’m sure you know this word

but we use this word in this example to

place emphasis on the next word okay to

place emphasis on the next word so for

example let’s say there is a man that we

are looking at okay and we think he’s

very handsome

let’s give him a beard okay let’s give

him a beard and we think this man is

very handsome so we may say that

he is handsome but if I add so before

this word I am emphasizing and I’m

saying that he is very handsome

okay so adding the word so in front of

another word puts emphasis so again we

are saying that my boss is so demanding

all right now let’s look at the advanced

version of this sentence using the five

W’s okay all right here we go

no one at our office likes our boss

because he is always so demanding all

right so the first w-who well we’re

talking about no one that means no one

at the office

what likes our boss when we’re gonna use

the word always where our office and why

because he’s so demanding so this is

definitely an advanced sentence all

right let’s keep going to the next one

now there are times when you are working

with your co-workers but the boss may be

tough in that situation as well even

though you’re working hard and again

what do we say demanding very good

demanding so this is the next sentence

his boss demanded that everyone work

late now this sentence is very simple

but I want us to look at this part right

here work late I’m gonna give you

another way of saying this in English we

also say work over time okay it’s the

same meaning as work late so for example

if your job normally has you getting off

at five o’clock but you have to work

longer than that and your time goes over

in this area we say you are working

overtime or working late okay all right

now let’s look at the advanced version

of this sentence okay here we go his

boss

Amanda that everyone worked late last

night at the office since they did not

complete their project

okay so first w-who well we’re talking

about his boss you can also talk about

everyone okay these ones can be counted

for the who okay and what everyone work

late okay who what when exactly last

night we’re at the office and why since

they did not complete their project so

now you’re saying this is an advanced

sentence and you’re seeing how easy it

is to expand your sentences so let’s

keep going now sometimes you may be in a

meeting and the boss may be very tough

once again what did we call him

demanding demanding now again your boss

may be a female but she can also be

demanding so the sentence is sometimes

our CEO can be very demanding now since

we’ve looked at this multiple times I

want to give you some synonyms or

similar words for demanding you can say

insistent okay one more time insistent

or you can even say tough okay remember

it just means demanding someone it’s

tough just means demanding or someone is

insistent it just means demanding so for

example if your boss uses words like now

with an exclamation point or must all of

the time he or she may be insistent

tough or demanding okay okay now let’s

look at the advanced version of this

sentence again using the five W’s so

let’s read it sometimes our CEO can be

very demanding so we usually try to

avoid going near his office at the end

of the month alright so let’s get

started who we’re talking about we and

we’re also talking about the CEO so you

can choose as long as there’s someone in

to answer the who okay what well we

usually try to avoid going near his

office okay who what when at the end of

the month okay who what when where right

here near his office and why because he

can be very demanding so we’ve answered

all of the five W’s and this is

definitely an advanced English sentence

alright let’s keep going

the people at work now at your job you

will have a lot of people that you work

with so what do you call the people you

work with in English we say colleague

again colleague a person someone works

with or a co-worker alright so here’s

our first sentence all of my colleagues

went out for a lunch today now in this

sentence there’s one thing I want us to

look at very quickly it’s an expression

went out for lunch now the words are

very simple but I want to explain

something very quickly to you went out

for lunch means to leave where you are

okay

to leave where you are to go buy lunch

okay to go buy or purchase lunch so

let’s look at it for example let’s say

this right here is your building the

building that you work in for your

company let’s give it some windows right

here well for lunch you and your

co-workers decide to leave the building

to go to the restaurant or fast-food

place down the street from your business

or your company okay you decide to go

out for lunch to buy food all right now

let’s keep going let’s look at the

advanced version of this sentence here

we go all of my colleagues went out for

lunch at the restaurant near our office

today be

as our staff meeting was canceled okay

now it’s ended the five W’s the first W

is who well who is my colleagues what

they went out for lunch okay who what

when okay they went out for lunch today

who what when where a restaurant near my

office near our office and why because

our staff meeting was canceled so this

is definitely an advanced sentence all

right so let’s keep going to the next

sentence now you’re also going to be

with these individuals in meetings at

your job and what do we call them again

exactly colleagues so you’re with your

colleagues and this is a sentence my

colleague and I had to work on a project

now there are no special vocabulary

words in this sentence but I want to

give you another way of emphasizing that

you and your colleague were working

together on the project so this is for

emphasis okay in order for you to

emphasize so if you put work and then

add to gather okay to gather on a

project it emphasizes that you had to

work with your coworker and no one else

let me show it to you visually okay so

at your office there may be many

different people there and everyone has

different projects but for this project

specifically you had to work together

with your coworker so again it’s just

for emphasis okay together all right now

let’s keep going let’s look at the

advanced version of this sentence my

colleague and I had to take work home

all last month in order to meet the

project dead

alright so again five W’s the first one

is who well we’re talking about my

colleague and I what do we have to do we

had to take work home okay who what when

all last month okay we’re home and why

in order to meet the project deadline so

again it answers all of the five W’s and

it is definitely an advanced English

sentence alright let’s keep going

now again the people you work with the

people you’re around with during the day

at your job what are they called

you got it colleague alright so this is

a sentence

I like all of my colleagues now this is

a very easy beginner Basic English

sentence but in another way of saying I

like in English we have an expression I

am fond of font:12px

I all of my colleagues because they work

hard every day at the office

so again the first W is who well we said

I and we said colleagues okay so you can

pick which one you want to use what well

I like all of my colleagues when every

day ok every day we’re at the office and

why because they work hard so yes

this is an advanced sentence it answers

all of the

five W’s now if you want to continue
