Use of do and make
Sometimes I think I ought to do some volunteer work in a school or a hospital but I’m to busy just trying to make a living.
I have very little free time, so I think I’dbetter not add anything to my schedule right now .Am I right?
Don’t make excuses. You don’t have to spend all your free time doing volunteer work three hours a week is enough.
Do some researchand find an organization where you can feel you can make a difference and do some good for people.
My boss is a bully. He yells at me if I make a mistake , and he makes a fun of me in front ofmy co-workers .I’ve tried talking to him , but it doesn’t do any good .He wont listen I guess I’m going to have to do something about this problem , but What?
It doesn’t make any sense to ignorethis problem, and you’d better do something quickly before it gets worse .Make an appointment with your human resources representative .You might want to take a colleague with you too.
I’mmeeting my girlfriend’s parents for the first time next weekend .They’ve invited me for dinner .I’m going to do my best to make a good impression on them ,but I’m really nervous Any advice?
Makeand effort to dress nicely and make sure you take them a small gift, such as flowers or chocolates .Make some nice comments about their home, the food etc. But don’t overdo. You ought to let themdo the talking at first .the most important thing however, is just to be yourself.
My boss recently offered me a promotion .I’ve done a lot of thinking about it but I can’t make up my mind ifI should take it. Sometimes I think I’d rather stay in my current job .I’ve got to decide by next week .What should I do?
Make a list of the pros and cons of each job , and give one score from 1to 5 (5 =the best) Then do the math add up the points for each list and subtract the con totals from the pro totals .Which job has the highest score? Does that help you make a decision?
