<!-- (audio) Sophie: So, Jake! How's it to work in security? Do you deal with any danger? Jake: No, not that much. In the morning, I have to check the security cameras to make sure they are working properly. I have to monitor the entrances and exits at all times. -->

--description--

The phrase not that much is used to indicate a small amount or degree, often in response to a question about quantity or frequency. For example:

  • Person 1: Do you travel for work? - This asks about going to other places or cities because of work.

  • Person 2: Not that much. - This means only a little, not very often.

On the other hand, at all times means always or continuously, indicating something that happens without interruption. For example:

Security guards must be alert at all times. - This means security guards have to watch carefully all the time to keep people safe.
