Terms apply. Hello, lovely, and welcome into our super episode, speaking part three about employment.
in general. Rory, hello.
Hello, it's me. Do you think schools should provide career advice to students?
I don't see the harm in it, provided they aren't pigeonholing them before they even get started out in life.
Students always benefit from a little guidance.
That's literally the role of teachers in the process of learning.
Well, and the role of students is to receive the guidance as well.
Who should receive a higher salary, young people or older people?
I suppose that depends on who you ask, but it makes sense that people who are older generally get paid more, since they usually have more experience and can do more.
Younger people tend to have, well, less experience and require greater investment in terms of time and resources.
So I suppose it's less about age and more about ability.
Sitting down, doctors should be well paid Assuming they do their jobs, well, yes It's hard to put a price on saving lives and helping others But I think people can agree generally that it should be a high one Doctors work hard and should definitely be compensated accordingly What kinds of jobs deserve
a high salary? The ones deemed economically valuable would be the easiest and most obvious answer, probably It's also determined by supply and demand So if you have a skill that's in high demand But not many people can do it Then you can definitely command a higher salary Compared to someone with a more
easily accessible skill What kinds of jobs receive a low salary?
Generally speaking, it's the jobs that most people can do With minimal training and effort Since the investment and risk are fairly low For example, a receptionist doesn't require that much technical knowledge compared to something like a senior engineer.
So that makes sense that one would be paid less than the other.
What jobs are well paid in your country?
There for a bit. But I also have this ergonomic chair for my head enough these days.
However, people who are seem to have a lot of responsibility at work, especially for the well -being of others or their property, are probably quite well off.
That includes lawyers and CEOs, for example.
Hey, thank you, Rory, for your answers.
No problem. I can say to my new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, hey, find a keto -friendly restaurant nearby and text it to Beth and Steve.
And it does without me lifting a finger, so I can get in more squats anywhere I can.
One, two, three. Will that be cash or credit?

See you soon. Some schools provide career advice.
It's like when they tell you, oh, you will be good at teaching, you should be a doctor.
So they do some tests and they tell you that, okay, so teaching is for you or teaching is not for you.
Rory, you've used a nice one to pigeonhole.
Yeah, so if you pigeonhole people, then you just, you basically assign them a role before you can learn at a time and pace that works for you.
It's an education you can tailor to your schedule.
Oh, you'll be a wonderful teacher for their whole lives.
And then they feel like they have to go and do that because everybody said that this is what they should do.
But maybe they wanted to try something else or maybe they miss out on other opportunities because of this.
So that's pigeonholing.
Yeah. So a pigeon is a bird.
Usually we see them in the cities or pigeons.
Flying rats. Dear listener, right?
And a verb is to pigeonhole.
one verb, one word, pigeonhole.
It's usually disapproving to have an often unfair idea of what type of a person someone is or what something is.
So for example like you see a person and then oh he's an alcoholic for example and like how do you know you know so you are pigeonholing people yes you assign them a role without any flexibility at all yes prepositions are crazy in the car on a plane at the office or at home pigeonhole you oh like you
are an it's person you are a marketing person you will be good at medicine okay so they pigeonhole people Students benefit from a little guidance.
So schools should give guidance on students' future career.
So students benefit from career advice.
Hopefully. Receive a higher salary or receive a low salary.
But that just means be paid a little or be paid a lot.
And people who are older generally get paid more.
so they get more money they get paid more due to their experience they have more experience younger people tend to so usually younger people tend to get paid less to be well paid dear listener so to get healthy sitting like a what's the best way to sit ideally on top price on saving lives if you put
a price on something then you say how much it is yeah like it's difficult to put a price on saving lives like how much how much is it well wait well yes it's difficult but there is a price on what it is if we type in average doctor's salary in the uk so the price for saving lives is between 32 ,000 and 120
,000 pounds okay roughly speaking so there you go that's how much it costs to save a life so you can also say that doctors should definitely be compensated accordingly so to be compensated is a synonym for to get paid like they receive compensation they receive a celery.
Or if you're really fancy, you could say remunerated.
But isn't it something extra than a celery?
This chair. What kind of chair do you have?
An ergonomic chair.
It's a chair that's designed for fish.
But I'm pretty sure that remunerated isn't to do with extra stuff as far as I know.
It's just to do with payment.
But the key thing is what level of word is that?
What level of word to sit maria tell me oh i think it's like c1 c2 let's check with the cambridge online dictionary i am looking at the cambridge online dictionary because i only just thought of this word here but i don't see anything with a level that's very sad well compensate is c1 so i assume remunerate
is c2 yeah so remuneration is formal and it means payment for work or services so for example, doctors get remuneration for their work.
Remuneration. And usually we talk about a remuneration package.
Like with bonuses, with a salary, with something extra.
Jobs that deserve sitting on the desk.
How many people do that though?
I wouldn't do that to mine.
It was very expensive yeah kind of you sit on a chair and things are paid it's also determined by supply and demand so the phrase is supply and demand no articles is that a binomial by any chance yay it's a nice phrase so it means that what people want and what they can give to society What?
No, the law of supply and demand is just, well, the more readily accessible something is, like the supply, then the easier it is to access, but it also relies on demand, so it's got to be something that's available a lot and people need to have a demand for it as well.
But if you've got a lot of something and people don't want it, then it's a high supply but a low demand.
Economics! Yeah. Who receives a low salary?
usually people who can do something with minimal training okay say if i curl up on my couch i can fall asleep or i can drift off c2 dear listener to graduate like a manual labor like something that everybody can do uh well depends on the kind of manual labor i suppose yeah it does depend like because I'm
thinking about it now.
Like a good construction worker, for example, like a quality person who can fix your pipes or fix things at your home, gets a lot of money.
This is very difficult to find, trust me.
Especially in England.
I don't know about England.
Eczema isn't always obvious, but it's real.
And so is the relief from Evelis.
After an initial dosing phase of 16 weeks, about 4 in 10 people taking EBCLIS achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin.
And most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing.
EBCLIS, LibriKizumab, LBKZ, a 250 milligram per two milliliter inch.
Yeah, but like, if the examiner tells me like, where's your favorite place to sit?
My toilet. What? No, it's not okay.
Yeah, or Rory gave a good example.
and you should give quality examples real life examples in speaking part three to illustrate your idea like we do in essays and here rory gave a good example real life for example a receptionist yay oh nice one a receptionist doesn't require that much technical knowledge or for example people who clean hotel
when i was a child i used to sit on the floor Okay, a lot.
So, used to means that you don't do it anymore now.
I usually feel sleepy, a lower salary.
And we can compare a receptionist to a senior engineer in a company.
So, a senior engineer usually have a higher education, some special training.
So, they would be paid more.
Well -paid jobs in your country, dear listener, hmm well it depends on where you live but in scotland oh maria is going to tell me about scotland because i don't actually know what the most well -paid jobs are google yeah dear listener now could you please open your google and google jobs that are well
paid in scotland in thailand well you could also just do what i did and then just give a very general answer so I just said I used words like probably or long time yeah when your muscles hurt because like you've been sitting down for a long time so your body can't move it's stiff it's hard for example
sitting still at a what breakfast assistant what's a breakfast assistant oh I have no idea who is a breakfast assistant who kind of helps you to have your breakfast I have no idea could you google what what what is this then dentists aircraft pilots finance officers delivery drivers medical practitioners
all right dear listener well that makes sense okay okay breakfast assistant breakfast assistants responsibilities include interacting with guests by taking orders responding to any questions or complaints clearing the eating area so it's a waiter what is uh kind of is tucked under my hip so you explain how
you sit exactly because it requires like special vocabulary or for example i place at tests medical practitioners so pretty much doctors and uh it specialists okay yeah there you go but that's just a list you'd have to explain why yeah yeah but still like if you want to give examples that's true and also then you
say like people who have a lot of responsibilities who deal with the well -being of others Responsibilities, like looking after your breakfast.
Directors, CEOs, okay, like chief executive officers are usually well paid.
And you can use a synonym.
So they are well off.
So people who are well off, they are rich.
And now Rory's vocabulary show.
It is. It's the part of the show where I ask Maria questions about the kinds of grammar and vocabulary.
The explanation of one sitting position, remember it, and speak about it during the exams, band 9.
Super cool. And now, Rory's vocabulary show.
Yes, this is the part of the show where I ask the idea of making decisions about what people are and restricting their agency over this.
But what was that expression?
To pigeonhole. To pigeonhole people.
Yes, nice. Our next question talked about higher salaries.
And I said that younger people require more time and investment given to them.
But I didn't say it was given to them.
I used a different word.
Get paid. Maria. Investment.
Oh, they require greater investment.
Greater investment in terms of time and resources Our third question was Do you think doctors should be well paid?
And question three was about Whether it's easy for me to fall asleep Sitting on a sofa And I said that I was given something To curl up under on the couch But what was that thing called?
A throw Yes, a throw Dogs deserve a high salary And I used a special phrase to describe the idea of If you have something and people want it, this will determine what you are paid But what was that special phrase?
Supply and demand Oh yes, we are supplying you with the answers that you demand And the vocabulary The question after that was, what kinds of jobs receive a low income?
And I talked about how it's important to, well, know a lot in a special area.
But I didn't say that.
I used a different collocation to describe this idea of knowing a lot in a particular area.
Technical knowledge to have a lot of technical.
One of this question could be from any question and I am not, or from any answer.
And I am not going to tell Maria which one.
She has to work out what is being described.
So this was a special adjective that describes furniture designed in a way to make...
Responsibility at work.
Yes, it could be responsibility or responsibilities.
Oh, but Maria, no bonus question for you this time, because you got one of the answers wrong.
You did get it right eventually, but no bonus question because not 100%.
I'm sure you're very disappointed.
Thank you very much for listening.
And we'll get back to you in our new episode.
Bye. Get the Adri's special at McDonald's now.
Let's break it down.
My favorite barbecue sauce, American cheese, crispy bacon, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun, of course.
And don't forget the fries and a drink.
Sound good? Ba -da -ba -ba -ba.
Participating restaurants for a limited time.
Do you think sitting for too long at a desk or behind a wheel?
We also forgot that we do sit while driving.
So we sit behind a wheel.
So when you drive, you sit behind a wheel or in front of a screen, in front of a computer.
Could be the guidance as well.
Who should receive a higher salary, young people or older people?
I suppose that depends on who you ask, but it makes sense that people who are older generally get paid more since they usually have more experience and can do more.
Younger people tend to have, well, less experience and require greater investment in terms of time and resources, so I suppose it's less about age and more about ability.
Do you think Dr.
