Crown Academy of English and today we are going to do a

lesson on working at the

office. So, I'm going to teach you

lots of words, lots of vocabulary

about working at the office.

Let's get started..... so

the first word is.......

the word for desk

so that..... a desk

is where you work... so you work

at a desk and this is where you

put your documents and

this desk, as you can see, is made

of wood, and on

the right there are two drawers.

So you can see them here... this is the top drawer

and this is the

bottom drawer.... okay

and you can see on the front of

the drawer, there is a handle. So

the handle is for

opening the drawer.

And on a desk, you can put

a desk lamp. So this is

a lamp for the desk...

so we call it a desk lamp okay,

and you can see here, inside the lamp

this is the bulb, the light bulb

and here is the wire.

Also in an office, at a desk,

we need a chair

So this is

a black chair, made out of

leather and

on the sides of the chair there are two

arm rests. So this is

the right arm rest and here is

the left arm rest. And so the

arm rests are where we can put our arms.

They are on both sides of the chair.

And when we are at our desk... when we are

in the office, we often work with

a laptop computer.... so

this is a laptop computer...

and

this part of the computer

is the screen.

So on the screen, this is where we can

see our documents,

our files ... and

this is the keyboard. So

on the keyboard, there are keys

and we use the keyboard

to type... so

we can use the keyboard

to type a letter or to write a message

and

the English keyboard, we sometimes call it

a QWERTY keyboard... and we call it

a QWERTY keyboard because the

top row of keys...

the letters are

Q ... W ... E ...

R ... T ... Y

So that spells QWERTY

So if you hear somebody say

QWERTY keyboard, they mean

an English keyboard. And

this computer device, in English

we call it a mouse,

yes it's the same word as the little animal!

And the reason is because it looks a little bit like ...

it looks a little bit like a mouse with the ears

here I suppose.... so we call this

a mouse.... and here

is the left button, the

left mouse button still so we call this

the left button and here

is the right button and

in the middle.... this

is called the mouse wheel so we use the mouse wheel

to scroll up

the page, and to scroll down

the page.

And here is the wire. So the wire goes

from the mouse and connects

into the computer. If

the mouse does not have a wire, we say it is wireless...

so wireless. And

a sentence... something we can say with the mouse,

we would say I double-click on the

icon.... so for example,

if we wanted to run "Microsoft

Word", we would say

I am double-clicking

on the Word icon.... and

if we want to say to somebody to click

using the left button,

we would say... oh

sorry....if we wanted to say click using

the right button, then we say right-click. so if somebody asks you to right-click,

they mean to press this button

with your right finger....

and

we can also say left-click... so

to left-click means to click

on the left button.

And something else that we need

with the computer... when we need

to produce a document,

we use

a printer. So this is called a printer....

and in the printer,

we load the printer

with paper... with paper okay.

So this is the paper. We put the sheets

of paper in the back of this printer

and then..

they.... when they are printed, the paper comes

out here and this is called the paper tray. This is the paper tray.

So if you have... if your manager

has a printer which can print in red, yellow,

green, blue... we can say that

"My manager has a colour printer."..ok

Now "colour"... this word here...

colour - C O L O U R .....

that is BRITISH English ...

okay... American English

is different and

color is spelt C O L O R

in American English. So

that is a big difference. And

if my printer is not

a colour printer, I can say I have a black and white

printer because it can only print in black

or white. Inside

the printer, there are

ink cartridges

.... so the ink cartridges

are where the ink is stored...

and on a colour printer, there would be

3 different coloured ink

cartridges....so

a sentence we can use then... we can say

"My printer has run out of ink."

This is an expression. To

RUN OUT OF something so these three words...

RUN OUT OF - this means

there is no more ink and

so we can use this expression RUN OUT OF

.. we can use this, for example, to say

"I have run out of milk"

or "I have run

out of water ... or

"I have run out of

soap" So "run out of" means

the ink is finished. There is no more ink.

So "My printer has run out

of ink." So we can say

"I must change the ink cartridges." ...

which means we must change

these cartridges and put them

into the printer ...

So.... this

is a telephone ... so

everybody has a telephone on their desk

in the office and

this part of the telephone - this

long piece here .... this

is called the handset. So

when your telephone rings, when you

receive a call you pick up

the handsets when you answer the phone

you pick up the handset. So

when you receive a call, your telephone

rings. So we can say "My telephone

is ringing." .... and when

you want to use your telephone to contact

somebody, to speak to somebody,

you can say

that you call somebody so

we can say for example "This morning,

I called a supplier." This means

that you picked up your handset

and you dialled

a number, and you called

a supplier, or you called

a customer, or you called

your parents. We can also say

I MADE a call. This morning, I MADE a call.

And here we have

a different type of telephone... and this one

is called a "mobile phone" So this

is a mobile phone ... and

again this is the

British English word.

In British English, we say mobile phone and

in American English, Americans

say "cellphone". So if you hear

the word cell phone, then that

is American English.

Now this is called a

stapler. Stapler ...

and a stapler uses

staples.

So a stapler contains

staples. We put staples

inside the stapler.... and

if we want to remove staples

from a sheet of paper, we use

staple remover

so we use staple remover

to take out ... or ..

to remove the staples from

a piece of paper. This

is called a calculator

So we use a calculator

... to

do some calculations.... to do some

additions and

to work out sums... ok and something else we see

in an office is a calendar.

Now this is a desk

calendar because it is

small enough to go on the desk.

So this one is a 2013

calendar and it is showing

the month of January. And this

is called either...

an agenda or

we can call it a personal organiser

or sometimes we call it

a diary.... okay

I think the most common word for it would be

diary or personal organiser

Agenda is

less often, we don't... is less common.... we don't

often call it an agenda - we usually call it

a diary or a personal organiser. And

here on top of the diary,

here is a pen. So we use a pen

for writing inside the diary.

Here we can see lots of

files ... so

we use files to

store documents and

pieces of paper.

So here there is a yellow file,

a red file, a white file,

a blue file .... and

we put files in ...

excuse me ..... in a filing cabinet. So

we put the files in

the filing cabinets. We store

the files in a filing cabinet.

Here we can see them here. Here there are three black

files in the filing cabinet.

These little plastic things

are called paper clips ...

paper clips ... and here is a yellow

paper clip, here is a green one, a red one,

a white one ... and we use

paper clips to attach

pieces of paper together .... to group

pieces of paper together. Now here

on this photograph, we can see several

sheets of paper, of

white paper... here is a pen ...

here are some yellow

post-its We call these post-its

and at the top... this

big black plastic thing is called

a "bulldog clip" and Bulldog.. yes

that is the same as the breed of

dog, of animal ! I'm not quite sure..

not sure why we call it a bulldog clip

but that is the name. So

here is a larger

photograph. So at the top here... this

is called a bulldog clip. Now here

on this photograph there are three things. The first one
