Professionals

Welcome students. This is a very interesting video about professions. We are going to
check: want to and would like to.

Let's check this example:


Why would you like to work with us?
 Girl: I want to continue studying, but it means that I have to look for a job.
 Man: Why would you like to work with us?
 Girl: I would like to work with you because I want to continue studying at university.
 Girl: I am a civil engineering student. This is what I am studying because I really
want to have my own company one day.

Let's start checking the grammar structure about WOULD LIKE TO. Remember that we use
all the subject pronouns (I, YOU, WE, THEY, HE, SHE, IT + WOULD LIKE TO + SIMPLE
FORM OF THE VERB).

For example:
 For an affirmative sentence: I would like to work hard and study.
 In a negative sentence: He or she wouldn't like to stop studying.

For questions:
 Would you like to work and study?
 Yes, I would like to work and study.
 No, I wouldn´t like to work and study.

Let's check this part. We have the grammar structure of WANT TO. Remember we use
WANT TO plus the VERB in simple form!

Look at the examples:


 I want to have a part time job.
 My classmates don't want to stop studying.
 Does your friend want to keep studying to learn more about new processes and
specifications?
o (+) Yes, she does.
o (-) No, she doesn't.
