21 分钟Hi there.
This is teacher Harry.
And welcome back to my english lessons where I try to help you to get a better understanding of the english language so that you can communicate with your friends, your colleagues, perhaps even get through those first few stages of job interviews, any way in which you can improve your English.
I'm here to help you.
And if there's anything you need, anytime you, you know where to contact me, please subscribe to our YouTube channel.
And if you wish, you can always listen to me on my podcast.
Okay, I'll give you the contact details at the end.
So what are we going to talk to you about today?
What's the lesson about?
Well, this is all about job idioms, or you can also refer to it as idioms connected with work, because the word job and work, they're synonymous for each other.
What do you work as?
What's your job?
They mean exactly the same.
So we're talking about job idioms.
Okay, so as always, I'm going to run down through these individual idioms one by one, and then I'm going to go back over them and give you some examples so that you can get a better understanding of how to use them and what exactly they mean.
So here we go.
To learn the ropes.
Carry the can, burn the candle at both ends.
A cushy number, very british English that.
A cushy number hanging by a thread.
