KEY WORDS: Careers

art, business, construction, design, engineering, farming, fashion, information technology, law, literature, the media, medicine, science, sport, travel and tourism

■ Read through the Key Words with the students and give them time to check the meaning in the Mini-dictionary.

■ Look at the example jobs related to art. Elicit three or four jobs related to another career area, e.g. business (businessperson, personal assistant, secretary, manager, accountant).

■ In pairs, students have two minutes to write down as many jobs as they can think of related to the career areas.

■ Check spelling and pronunciation when checking students' answers. Teach any new words that students ask for.

Exercise 4

■ Ask one of the students to read aloud the example sentences.

■ Students think about their own personality and choose a job they might be good at. Point out that this need not be the job they are thinking of doing, but one that 'might' suit them. Give students time to rehearse what to say.

■ Students then tell the class what job might suit their personality.

Exercise 5

■ Students do the exercise working individually. They can refer to the Mini-dictionary to check the difference in meaning and use between the words.

■ Check students' answers by asking individuals to read the sentences aloud. If you wish, ask students to translate the sentences into their LI and see which words they use for career, job, profession and work.
