1. work (n. & v.),  job
我爸爸工作。(v.)/我爸爸不工作。(v.)
我爸爸有工作。(n.)/我爸爸沒有工作。(n.)

We will learn how to say about occupations, but sometimes we can't even tell what our parents'  jobs are in English, what shall we do? Maybe we can just say the place he/she works. Using the structure: 在⋯工作,you can replace ⋯ with name of places, like country,  district, company etc. 

e.g. 我爸爸在香港工作。
       我媽媽在家工作。
       我爸爸在IFC/Disneyland/Wanchai工作。
