[0:00]Hey everybody, it's Arianna La Ganga and welcome back to my YouTube channel. In today's video, I will teach all of you office vocabulary and we are going to walk inside this store called Staples. It's the office superstore where they sell multiple office supplies. Let's go ahead and walk inside.
[0:28]Right now, I'm inside Staples, but first of all, what is an office? An office is a place where business or professional work is done. For example, I'm sitting on a chair and in front of me, this is a desk. This is my office, and you can have an office inside your house, inside your home, or you can have an office at your workplace where you work in a cubicle. So, this is a desk, this is my planner and this is my office. This is a wooden desk, and it has one, two, three drawers where I can place a lot of office supplies. Now, let's see what kind of office supplies we can have in our office. Moving away from this area, from the desk and the chair, let's talk about a device that you will use inside your office and it will go underneath your desk. What is this called? This is where you will put sheets of paper inside and it will cut the bits of paper into small pieces. This is called a paper shredder and it'll go underneath your desk. And you'll normally use paper shredders to cut pieces of paper, for example, documents with patient's information on it, or if you have your credit card number on it, you'll want to shred those pieces of paper. So this machine will cut or tear your pieces of paper. That way no one can read what's on your sheets of paper. This paper shredder costs $349.99. The next vocab word is this. What is this called? It's a machine where you can print out information on a sheet of paper. This is called a printer, but I normally just call it printer. In this aisle, there's a bunch of printers all around me and the prices range from $100 up to $700. And this is a printer. So this is a printer, it's a device where you can print out information on a sheet of paper, so you can print out a text or you can print out different photos. So, this is an example of a sheet of paper that has been printed and obviously you need ink. As I said before, if you want to print something out like a picture, you will need ink. So these are different colors of ink, of course, if you want a picture to be black and white, you just need black ink. But if you wanted your picture to have a pop of color, then you would need different colored ink. If you just printed something out from the printer and you need a copy of it, what will you do? Will you print it out again? No, you will use this machine. This is a copier and you'll basically put that sheet of paper on top of this machine. It'll scan it and you'll get a copy of the piece of paper you wanted copied. And this is a fax machine. Fax machine. It's where you can send documents electronically. Let me know down below if you have ever used a fax machine in your office or your workplace. And the most important thing you need to have if you have a printer or a copier is paper. So this is paper and you will put multiple sheets of paper in your printer or in your copier. There's different types of paper, so this paper is best for black and white printing. And then over here, this is multi-purpose paper. So you can use it for black and white printing or to print things in color. And over here, they have different types of colored paper. So if you want a pop of color, then you can buy some neon green paper. And they have some orange colored paper, yellow, and this is a variety of different colors of colored paper.
[4:28]Now, let's learn what are some of the most common items you have in your office. What is this device right here? This device will fasten together sheets of paper with a staple or staples. This is called a stapler. Stapler. If you have a stapler, then you need staples. These are just thin pieces of wire and they'll go inside the stapler. And then you'll press down on the stapler like that, and then it'll fasten together your sheets of paper together. If you haven't noticed, this store is called Staples. It's called Staples because of wire staples. And what happens if you stapled two pieces of paper together, but you want to remove those staples? You'll need a staple remover. This is a staple remover and it's pretty simple. It'll just remove the wire staples from your sheets of paper. Now, what is this called? This is a hole punch or you can just call it a hole puncher. And like its name, it'll basically punch holes into sheets of paper. For example, if you have a binder in your sheet of paper doesn't have holes, how are you going to put the sheet of paper in your binder? Well, you will use a hole puncher and it'll just create holes. So, for example, this is a binder and in order to fit sheets of paper in the binder, you need to have three holes in each sheet of paper. You'll need this three hole puncher. But you can also find different types of hole punchers. For example, this is a one hole punch, but if you want to create holes in sheets of paper, I would rather use a three hole puncher. If you're looking for binders, well, here they are. You can find a bunch of binders in this aisle, and the binders have different widths. Widths, so the size of them may vary. For example, over there, they have one-inch binders and then over here, they have three to five inch binders. This black binder is huge compared to this small white binder, because this white binder is a one-inch binder and this is a five-inch binder. This binder can hold a lot of paperwork. So, if you have a lot of paperwork and you're working in an office, I would definitely recommend you to buy this five-inch binder.
[7:02]Now, if you work in an office and you have a lot of paperwork, you will need this. What is this called? This is a file folder and it has three different tabs. So these are the tabs and a file folder will make your life way easier and it will help you stay organized. So if you want to separate different files into each tab, then you will be more organized and you'll know which file is in which tab. If you have an office, you might have this huge whiteboard hanging on your wall. This is called a whiteboard or a dry erase board. Right here, it's hanging in an office. This dry erase board is where you can use markers. These are dry erase markers where you can write on the dry erase board, you can draw a picture and you can take notes or brainstorm ideas in your office, and you can wipe away your drawings or your writing on the whiteboard. These are dry erase markers and remember, you'll only use these dry erase markers on a whiteboard, and you'll use this eraser to erase your drawings or your writing on the whiteboard. Another thing you may have in your office is paperclips. These are paperclips and they'll hold pieces of paper together. Some other types of clips you can have in your office are butterfly clips, paperclips, and you can also have pins. Now, what is this called? This is tape. Tape, and they have different kinds of tape. They have double-sided tape, but this is just regular tape. If you work in an office and you have a bunch of devices or machines, for example, a printer, a copier, a computer, a laptop, or a phone, then you'll need this. This is a power strip and it has six outlets. So I can plug in each device into each outlet and then turn it on with this red button, and it'll power on all of my devices. Next, what happens if you don't have any memory or space on your computer? Well, then you'll need a flash drive. This is a flash drive and it's basically like a memory card where you can store things on the flash drive and it'll free up the space in your computer. Or you can use this flash drive and transfer all the documents to another device like a camera or another computer. Now, can you guys tell me what this is called? This is a projector. Projector. It'll project images onto a screen. And why would people use a projector? Well, if you have a meeting in your office and you want to present something, then you can use a projector to present your presentation or images you want to show in your meeting. Lastly, if you are in an office and you need to write something down or draw something on a sheet of paper, you might need these items. What are these called? This is a pencil. Pencil, and this is a pencil sharpener. Right now, these pencils are not sharpened, so I'll need to use the pencil sharpener to sharpen them and then I can write or draw on a sheet of paper. These are wooden pencils, but these are mechanical pencils. So, these kind of look like pens, but they are actually pencils. These mechanical pencils come with lead, so you can refill your lead in case you run out of any. And then this package also has an eraser. In case if you make any mistakes, you can erase your mistakes. And something you absolutely need to have in your office is a pen. These are pens and pens use ink. These pens are different compared to pencils because if you write or draw with a pen, you can't erase what you have drawn on a sheet of paper. Because pens use ink versus pencils, they use lead. Also, if you sign something like a document, you will need to sign it with a pen and not a pencil. These words may be tricky. This is a pen and this is a pencil. Pen and pencil. But if you make a mistake with a pen, don't worry because you can use this. This is a white-out marker and it'll just go on top of your mistake and cover it up.
