2. Complete the names of jobs.

0. I like writing and I want to work for the New York Times. → journalist ✔ (already given)

1. I've got a class of primary school students. → teacher

2. I design new buildings. → architect

3. I stand in a big, noisy building all day and help to make cars. → factory worker or mechanic — but more accurately, since it’s about *making* cars, likely factory worker or assembly line worker. But among common job titles, mechanic is often used loosely. However, best fit: mechanic or car factory worker. But since "mechanic" is listed earlier, maybe not. Actually, better answer: worker or production worker — but if we must pick from standard terms, perhaps engineer? Wait — let’s think: “help to make cars” → car manufacturer, but not a standard job name. Best match: factory worker or production worker — but none of these are in the original list. Since this is a vocabulary exercise, likely expected answer is mechanic? No — that's repair. Better: assembler or technician? Not listed. Hmm.

Wait — looking back at the job list: only these were provided:
[gardener, journalist, lawyer, mechanic, nurse, plumber, shop assistant, waiter, receptionist]

But here, the answers don't have to be from that list necessarily — this is a separate task.

So:

1. teacher
2. architect
3. mechanic? No — that's fixing cars. This is *making* cars. So probably factory worker or production worker — but not listed. Perhaps engineer? But not in original list.

Wait — maybe it's mechanic — but no, mechanics fix cars, not build them.

Alternatively, car designer? No.

Best guess: factory worker — but not a specific job title.

But perhaps the intended answer is mechanic — but that doesn’t fit.

Wait — maybe the job is engineer — but not in list.

Actually, this seems like a mismatch. But let's look at the clues.

3. I stand in a big, noisy building all day and help to make cars. → Likely factory worker, assembly worker, or automotive technician.

But since the original list doesn't include these, and this is a fill-in-the-blank, we can use general terms.

So:

1. teacher
2. architect
3. factory worker (or production worker)
4. I take people to the railway station, the cinema, the theatre and to many other places in my car. → taxi driver
5. I work with animals. I try to help them when they are ill. → veterinarian (or vet)
6. I think my job is very important. People come to me when they have problems with their teeth. → dentist
7. I fight for my country when there are wars. → soldier

✔ Answers:
1. teacher
2. architect
3. factory worker (or assembly worker)
4. taxi driver
5. veterinarian
6. dentist
7. soldier

Note: Some of these aren't in the initial job list — that’s okay because this section is independent.

3. Complete the conversation with job or work in each gap.

Conversation:

Woman: Can I help you?
Man: Yes, I'm looking for a job.
Woman: Do you want a part-time 1. job or do you want to 2. work full-time?
Man: I want a full-time 3. job. I don't want to 4. work part-time.
Woman: Can you 5. work at night or do you prefer to 6. work nine to five?
Man: I don't mind when I 7. work, but I'd like a well-paid 8. job. I can 9. work long hours and I always 10. work hard.

✔ Answers:
1. job
2. work
3. job
4. work
5. work
6. work
7. work
8. job
9. work
10. work

Explanation:
- "job" refers to the position.
- "work" is the verb meaning to perform tasks.
- In sentences like "do you want to work full-time?" — it's the verb.
- "I want a full-time job" — noun.
- "I don't mind when I work" — verb.
- "well-paid job" — noun.
- "can work long hours" — verb.
- "always work hard" — verb.

4. Complete the text with the words from the box. There are three extra words.

Words: [at, for, from, in [x2], on, own, to, with]

Text:

> How do young people see their future?
> Here are some of your responses:
> I don't know what I want to do when I finish my education. My parents work for large companies but I don't think I'd like that. I'd like to work
> 1. ____ home and be free to go shopping or sleep when I want. I definitely don't want to be a teacher. I couldn't work 2. ____ a school
> 3. ____ children. I don't think I'd be very good at working 4. ____ a team, either. I like to decide what to do and when to do it. Yes, I believe it's a good idea for me to work alone, without any people around me. I could work 5. ____ an office – at my own desk with my own computer – but I would really like to stay at home.
> Katy, 17

Now fill in:

1. at home → "work at home" ✔
2. in a school → "work in a school" ✔
3. with children → "work with children" ✔
4. in a team → "work in a team" ✔
5. in an office → "work in an office" ✔

Wait — but "in" appears twice — allowed (it says "in [x2]").

Now check which words are used:
- at → used
- for → used (parents work for)
- in → used (twice)
- with → used
- on → unused
- own → used ("my own desk")
- to → unused
- from → unused

Extra words: on, to, from → three extra, as stated.

✔ Final answers:
1. at
2. in
3. with
4. in
