Mrs. Jones is talking to Mr. Rooney who she has just met in a café. They are having a conversation when Mrs. Jones asks Mr. Rooney what he does for a living . . .
Mrs. Jones: - What do you do for a living?
Mr. Rooney: - Am sorry I don’t understand the question.
Mrs. Jones: - What is your occupation?
Mr. Rooney: - I'm a mechanic; I work in a garage on Oxford street.
Mrs. Jones: - A mechanic? You must do a lot of work and get very dirty.
Mr. Rooney: - yes I do lots of work. Every day I fix cars and it takes a long time to get clean after work.
Mrs. Jones: - That is really interesting. How many cars do you think you fix in a day?
Mrs. Rooney: - On average I probably fix about seven cars every day I do get tired.
Mrs. Rooney: - What, sort of job do you have Mr. Jones?
Mrs. Jones: - I don’t have a job at the moment.
Mr. Rooney: - why?
Mrs. Jones: - I’m at college learning English.
Mr. Rooney: - Thanks for the chat I have to get back to work now.
Mrs. Jones: - yes, thank you for your time.
Match the occupation with the daily activity.

Hello John, Good evening!
Good evening Eliane. How are you?
I'm fine, thanks. What about you?
Likewise. Tell me my friend...Did you understand that class about occupation?
Yes. I did. Why?
Can you explain me what does an accountant do?
It's a piece of cake, John!
An accountant makes a piece of cake?
You are funny John. I mean that this question is very easy.
Oh my goodness!
Well John, as fars as I'm concerned an accountant is a person that works with the money and accounts of a company.
Congratulations! What about the architect?
An architect designs buildings and houses.
Very smart! You are really very smart.
It's my time to ask John.
Go ahead girl! I'm prepared for everything.
Ok. Tell me what an astronomer is...
Astronomer? You mean that person who studies the stars and the universe?
Are you kidding me? What about the author? What does he do?
He writes books and novels.
Novels? You mean " O outro " with Francisco Cuoco was written by an author?
No way! A novel is a romance...a book that tells love stories. " O outro" is a soap opera.
You are very intelligent John.
Thanks girl! it's very kind of you. Now tell me...Is there any Baker in your family?
No. There is not any baker in my family but there is a bus driver.
Who drives buses in your family?
My father does. He is a very good bus driver.
My father is an actor. He is very famous in Hollywood.
Is your father a Hollywood actor? What's his name?
His name is Robert Deniro.
If Robert Deniro is your father , he certainly know my cousin.
Your cousin? Who is she? Is she an actress?
Of course she is. Did you watch " Tomb Raider "?
Yes, I watched it. I loved Lara Croft.
So my cousin was the actress that played Lara Croft.
Are you Angelina Jolie's cousin? Oh my goodness!
