Homework: write a cover letter to apply for one of the jobs you interviewed for in class today (Imagine this is the letter you sent before you got the interview.)
---
p. 56 part 1 - What are these people doing? What are they probably thinking?
part 2 - use one word to complete each sentence. Which do you think the student chefs said?
1 will
2 will / may / might
3 am
4 will
5 will / might / may / could
6 to
7 not
8 going
9 won’t
10 getting / eating / having / buying / ordering / etc.
---
(differences between “could” and “may”/“might”)
I could help you. = I have the ability and would help you if you asked.
I might help you. = I haven’t decided yet.

If I had more money, I could buy a car. (More money would give me the ability to buy a car, but this sentence tells you nothing about my choices.)
If I had more money, I might buy a car. (With more money, maybe I would choose to buy a car, but I haven’t decided yet.)

I could buy a car, but I won’t. (I have the ability, but I’ll choose not to do it.)
* I might buy a car, but I won’t. (* Maybe I will, but I definitely won’t.)
---
My friends definitely won’t believe me when I tell them about my day tomorrow.
(We don’t use future grammar in time clauses [beginning with when, while, before, after, until, by the time, as, as soon as, once, etc.] or conditionals [beginning with if or unless].)
---
(We can make nouns and adjectives by combining the two parts of many phrasal verbs into one word.)
I put you down. = I insult you.
His letter was full of putdowns. = full of insults

The plane takes off at 10am. During takeoff you need to turn off your phone.

A high-school dropout is someone who dropped out of high school.

I go on a weekend vacation to get away from my responsibilities. = I go on a weekend getaway.

The bank robbers’ getaway driver helps them get away from the bank they robbed.
---
p. 56 part 4 - what jobs can you think of with these descriptions?
manual labor = work that you do with your hands (which requires physical strength and endurance)

part 5 - with your partner, decide on the three most important qualities for each of these jobs

job (count noun) = a position in a company or a task to complete

work (verb) = the action of putting effort into something
work (verb) = function (“The phone doesn’t work.”)

work (noncount noun) = the effort that you put into something
work (noncount noun) = the location where you work

work (count noun) = a piece of art or literature
---
entrepreneur = a person who starts their own business
---
ways to talk about future plans:

I’ll meet with him tomorrow. = I’m making this decision as I speak.
I’m going to meet with him tomorrow. = I have already decided this
I’m meeting with him tomorrow. = I have already decided and arranged this.
(I meet with him tomorrow. = This is on a schedule.)
