Professor Bot: Hi! I’m Professor Bot! This video is about work. People talk about jobs and things that happen at work. Your job is to find as many job words 

as you can. Don’t worry, I’ll help.

 Anna: So, Jonathan, what do you think today’s meeting is about? The email seemed important.

Jonathan: Okay, I heard people in the building talking about budget cuts. 

Anna: Ah! Budget cuts? Wait, who talked about budget cuts? 

Jonathan: Mark in Accounting. Anna: Mark in Accounting? That’s one person. That’s not “people.”

Jonathan: I know, but Mark knows everything that goes on at the Studio. 

Anna: That's true. But wait, look. We have to gossip. That's how gossip starts. We'll go to the meeting and see what happens. 

Jonathan: You're right. There's no more talk of budget cuts. Amelia: Budget cuts? Oh no! Amelia: I heard Anna and Jonathan talking about budget cuts. 

Kaveh: That must be what the meeting is about. When there's a budget cut, people lose their jobs. 

 Amelia: Not you. You're a good reporter. Kaveh: And you're not. You did a great job as a photographer. 

 Amelia: I can't be a detective. Criminals scare me! 

 Kaveh: And I can't be a teacher! High school kids scare me! 

 Professor Bot: Did you hear any job words? They talked about a lot of jobs. You can make a job title by adding -ing to the end of the verb! Kaveh reported, so, he is a reporter. Amelia used to know, so she was a detective. If you teach, you are a teacher. And a photographer…. Yes, I think you understand. Back to the story. 

 Kaveh: Penelope, did you hear the news? Today’s meeting is about budget cuts. 

 Penelope: That’s terrible! What should I do? 

 Kaveh: Update your job description. I already updated mine. I’ll see you at the meeting. 

 Mrs. Weaver: Hello everyone! Quiet, please. Quiet, please! 

 Mrs. Weaver: This meeting won’t take long. So you can all leave. 

 Mrs. Weaver: What’s wrong with everyone? You look like I’m going to fire you. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Seriously, what’s wrong with everyone? 

 Anna: Excuse me, Mrs. Weaver? 

 Mrs. Weaver: Yes, Anna. 

 Anna: Well, everyone was worried, you know… I was worried you would fire us! Mrs. Weaver: I'm not going to fire any of you! No! The reason for this meeting is to tell you what a great job you've been doing and to offer new jobs. There's been a budget cut. But only one person lost his job -- Mark in Accounting? Now, let's talk about those new jobs. 

 Professor Bot: Mrs. Weaver's team is doing a great job! How did you do? Did you get all the job words? Here's a checklist for you to check.
