练习 1
Who is Clarence?
Who is Clarence?
A "shopkeeper" refers to the owner of a shop or store. This term is never used to indicate the personnel at a restaurant.
Clarence announces that he will be the "server" this afternoon. The terms "server" and "waiter" are synonymous in this context: both refer to a male employee who serves food and drink to the patrons of a restaurant.
A "bartender" is responsible for serving and mixing drinks at a bar or restaurant. This term generally applies only to someone (male or female) who works from behind the counter or bar. Clarence is a server, or a waiter, not a bartender.
A servant is a domestic helper. It is an outdated term which is mostly used to talk about the domestic helpers of aristocrats from the past. Clarence is not a servant, but a "server", which is synonymous with a "waiter".
练习 2
"Do you work in retail?"

In the exercise below, match the jobs with the industry!

Nurse -->
Actor -->
Waiter -->
Sales Assistant -->
"Do you work in retail?"

In the exercise below, match the jobs with the industry!

Nurse --> Health 1
Actor --> Entertainment 2
Waiter --> Hospitality 3
Sales Assistant --> Retail 4
1 Health: This is correct. A "nurse" is a medical professional who traditionally assists doctors. "Health" is the condition of the human body or mind. Therefore the "health industry" consists of organizations, businesses and workers that provide care, medicine, medical expertise and morphine.
1 Retail: This is not the best choice here. Nurses do not work in retail. They do not sell anything (apart from the occasional kidney on the black market).
1 Entertainment: This is not the best choice here. There are lots of actors and actresses that play nurses on TV. However, real nurses do not work in the entertainment industry!
1 Hospitality: This is not the best choice here. Nurses work in hospitals, they provide hospitality to patients, yet they do not work in the hospitality industry. Apparently the "saving people's lives" (health) aspect is more important than the "providing food and drinks" (hospitality) aspect. It's a crazy world!
2 Entertainment: This is correct. "Actors" play roles in films, television and plays. "Entertainment" is something that amuses or diverts like a performance or show. The entertainment industry consists of organizations, businesses and workers that provide entertainment. For example: exotic dancers work in the entertainment industry.
2 Health: This is not the best choice here. Actors do not work in the health industry - even those who star in hit TV shows like "ER" (Emergency Room)!
2 Hospitality: This is not the best choice here.
2 Retail: This is not the best choice here.
3 Hospitality: A waiter is a male employee who serves food and drink to the patrons of a restaurant. The hospitality industry includes hotels, food service, casinos, and tourism. Note the equivalent term for women: "waitress".
3 Health: This is not the best choice here. Waiters do not work in the health industry.
3 Retail: This is not the best choice here.
3 Entertainment: This is not the best choice here.
4 Retail: A sales assistant serves customers in a shop or retail outlet. The term "retail" means the sale of goods or commodities in small quantities directly to consumers. The retail industry consists of shops, stores and business involved in this activity.
4 Health: This is not the best choice here.
4 Hospitality: This is not the best choice here.
4 Entertainment: This is not the best choice here. Even incompetent sales people, who are quite funny to watch, do not work in the entertainment industry!
