Learning and Activating Vocabulary 2.

Question 1

In this audio, we will look at one more Part 1 question so we can learn and activate the vocabulary for answers to that question.
The question is
What do you like about your work?
I will give you some answers and just repeat with me.

Answer 1

The best part about my job is the work environment

Notice there is an elision here, that means we drop the ’t’ sound from ‘best’ and ‘part’ just to make it easier to pronounce. So instead of saying ‘the best part’ we say the ‘bespart’ - like one sound. Similarly, in ‘about my’ we use a glottal stop for the ’t’ and it becomes ‘abou’my’

The best part about my job is my colleague
The best part about my job is the salary
