询问具体信息
Wh- 词 + do/does + 主语 + 动词原形?

Part 2 · 提示卡

Describe a job you would like to have in the future. You should say: what the job is; what you would do in this job; where you would work; and explain why you would like to do this job.
A job I would like to have in the future is a tour guide. A tour guide takes visitors to interesting places and tells them stories about the city. I would work in a tourist city, maybe in London or Edinburgh. The job would let me walk around outside every day, not sit in an office. I love meeting people from different countries and speaking English, so this job would be perfect for me. I think I would be good at it because I am patient and I enjoy talking. Maybe in a few years I can start training for this job.
💡 按提示卡四点回答,用 would 表达未来愿望。句子简短但完整。

Many people want to work in IT or business because the salaries are good. But teaching and nursing are also common jobs.
