1
What's your job?
2
What do you do in life?
3
How do you make money?
4
How do you afford to live in that city?
5
How do you pay your bills?
6
Hold up, hold up!
7
While these sentences are grammatically correct, pragmatically speaking, they can be seen as nosy or even rude.
8
So today, I'm going to teach you much better ways to ask this question, which are pragmatically correct.
9
Hi, Advanced English Learners!
10
Mary Daphne here, and today we are talking about how to ask someone about their job.
11
As with most things in English, we have several ways of asking that question.
12
So, we don't say, what's your job?
13
We say things like, what line of work are you in?
14
What line of work are you in?
15
What do you do for a living?
16
What do you do for a living?
17
How do you make a living?
18
How do you make a living?
19
These questions are a bit more formal and can be used
20
when you don't know the person very well or if you are in a more professional context.
21
If you're speaking to someone close in age, more like a peer, a classmate, a colleague, or someone you think you'll be coming friends with,
22
you can ask this question the following ways.
23
So, what do you do?
24
What do you do?
25
It's kind of fun to say, right?
26
What do you do?
27
With this, it's implied that you're talking about work.
28
The more complete version of this question would be, so what do you do for a living?
29
So asked in the short way, so what do you do is completely fine.
30
They will understand what you are getting at.
31
Asking, so what do you do for fun is about a person's hobbies and interests.
32
So that is not about work.
33
You might also say when you're asking about their job, how do you spend your days?
34
How do you spend your days?
35
What are you working on at the moment?
36
What are you working on at the moment?
37
Or you can just say, what are you working on?
38
You might have also heard the term side hustle.
39
A side hustle is a passion project that can potentially turn into an income stream or something more full -time.
40
A side hustle is something that you work on, on the side, in addition to your main job.
41
So this could be something like a freelance gig,
42
starting a YouTube channel, creating crafts or handmade goods and then selling them online, like in a Netsy shop,
43
a lot of entrepreneurs start their companies as side hustles.
44
They pour their heart and soul into those passion projects and they make their living with their job.
45
If the side hustle is successful, it can become something more full -time and replace their job.
46
So how do you ask someone about a side hustle?
47
You can say, do you have a side hustle?
48
Do you have a side hustle?
49
What's your side hustle?
50
What's your side hustle?
51
Are you working on any passion projects right now?
52
Are you working on any passion projects right now?
53
Working on anything exciting at the moment?
54
Working on anything exciting at the moment?
55
So there you have it, advanced English learners.
56
As you can see, there are quite a few ways to ask someone what they do for their job
57
and what they do for their side hustle.
58
The next time you want to know someone's job, you'll have the right way to ask them that without seeming pushy, rude, or nosy.
59

Об этом уроке

Вы практикуете английский с "Speaking about Jobs in English for Advanced English Conversation" с помощью техники Shadowing — метода, разработанного для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков.

Слушайте каждое предложение, обращайте внимание на ударения и связывание звуков, затем повторяйте вслух уверенно. 15–30 минут ежедневной практики дадут заметные результаты.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
