hi

Hello
and
welcome
to
Six
Minute
Vocabulary
.
My
name
is
Neil
and
I'm
one
of
the
presenters
today
.
And
I'm
Sophie
and
I'm
the
other
presenter
.
Welcome
to
the
show
.
Did
you
hear
that
word
?
Presenter
Today
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
jobs
and
the
different
kinds
of
English
words
for
different
jobs
.
Like
presenter
,
for
example
.
We'll
look
at
some
of
the
different
ways
that
words
for
jobs
can
end
likely
at
the
end
of
presenter
.
These
are
called
suffixes
,
as
usual
,
will
be
giving
you
a
quiz
to
see
how
much
you
can
remember
.
And
we'll
also
bring
you
a
top
tip
to
help
you
learn
vocabulary
.
But
first
,
let's
listen
to
Anna
.
She's
going
to
tell
us
about
the
different
jobs
she's
had
in
her
life
so
far
.
While
you
listen
,
think
about
this
question
.
What
is
Anna's
job
now
?
When
I
was
a
little
girl
,
I
always
wanted
to
be
a
teacher
.
So
I
spent
years
training
as
a
teacher
.
And
then
I
got
a
job
in
a
school
and
I
hated
it
.
After
a
few
months
,
I
quit
.
I
worked
for
a
while
as
a
librarian
,
but
I
didn't
really
like
that
either
.
Finally
,
I
started
writing
for
a
small
website
.
Now
I
work
as
a
journalist
,
writing
for
newspapers
and
magazines
.
So
that
was
Anna
talking
about
all
the
job
she's
done
.
And
we
asked
what's
Anna's
job
.
Now
,
Anna
is
a
journalist
now
she
writes
for
newspapers
and
magazines
.
Well
done
,
if
you
got
that
right
.
And
another
question
,
did
you
catch
her
on
?
His
first
job
was
she
was
a
teacher
.
Let's
listen
again
.
When
I
was
a
little
girl
,
I
always
wanted
to
be
a
teacher
,
so
I
spent
years
training
as
a
teacher
.
Now
a
lot
of
English
words
for
jobs
end
with
the
sound
like
presenter
or
teacher
.
Yes
,
and
there
are
two
ways
to
spell
the
suffix
in
job
names
.
Sometimes
this
is
spelled
e
r
in
words
like
presenter
or
teacher
,
or
sometimes
it's
spelled
O
R
,
for
example
,
actor
or
translator
.
So
a
teacher
teaches
students
an
actor
acts
in
a
film
.
A
translator
translates
from
one
language
to
another
.
A
train
driver
drives
the
train
.
Now
you're
an
actor
,
aren't
you
,
Sophie
?
Yes
,
I
am
.
But
because
I'm
female
,
you
can
also
say
I'm
an
actress
.
So
there
are
lots
of
jobs
that
end
with
the
e
r
suffix
.
But
now
let's
look
at
a
different
suffix
.
Can
you
remember
what
Anna's
next
job
was
after
she
quit
teaching
?
Let's
listen
and
check
.
I
worked
for
a
while
as
a
librarian
,
but
I
didn't
really
like
that
either
.
Next
,
Anna
worked
as
a
librarian
.
That's
someone
who
works
in
a
library
.
Another
suffix
,
which
we
often
find
at
the
end
of
a
word
of
a
job
,
is
even
spelt
a
and
sometimes
it's
pronounced
Shuyun
.
For
example
,
if
you've
got
a
problem
with
your
eyes
,
you
might
need
to
go
and
see
an
optician
.
And
someone
who
works
in
politics
is
a
politician
.
Have
you
ever
thought
about
being
a
politician
,
Sophie
?
I
can't
say
I
have
now
.
OK
,
now
let's
talk
about
one
more
suffix
.
Do
you
remember
what
Anna
does
now
?
She's
a
journalist
.
There
are
also
quite
a
lot
of
words
for
jobs
in
English
,
which
end
in
spelt
I
.
S
t
the
person
who
greets
you
in
an
office
or
a
hotel
is
a
receptionist
and
a
person
who
looks
after
your
teeth
as
a
dentist
.
You're
listening
to
BBC
Learning
English
,
and
we're
talking
about
job
suffixes
.
OK
,
now
it's
quiz
time
.
We've
got
two
questions
for
you
.
First
,
if
someone
translates
from
one
language
to
another
,
are
they
a
a
translator
to
be
a
translator
or
C
,
a
translator
mission
?
And
the
answer
is
B
,
a
translator
.
Well
done
if
you
got
that
right
.
Second
question
,
which
job
ends
with
the
letters
o
r
is
it
A
actor
,
B
teacher
or
C
presenter
?
And
the
answer
is
actor
,
teacher
and
presenter
end
with
e
r
well
done
.
If
you
got
both
of
those
questions
right
,
it's
almost
time
for
the
end
of
the
show
.
But
before
we
go
,
there's
just
time
for
a
top
tip
for
learning
vocabulary
.
When
you
record
a
new
word
,
don't
just
write
the
word
and
the
translation
.
Try
drawing
a
picture
in
your
notebook
,
too
.
Yes
,
drawing
a
picture
can
help
you
to
remember
the
word
better
.
