Could the postman say “je fais un boulot important”?
Boulot vs travail
- « Back to Q&A Forum

Hi Adelaida,
It is simply because 'boulot' is slang ( argot ) and 'travail' and 'métier' ( given as possibilities) are not and carry more weight in this exercise.
"Travail" est le mot juste et correct. "Boulot" est le mot familier, à n'employer qu'à l'oral et dans un cadre informel.
Hope this helps!
