Time Approximately 30 minutes (including extension activity)
NOTES:
EXTENSION ACTIVITY:
(1)
Have your students sit in pairs, preferably
face to face. Lead in with the question of
what kind of job they would like to have.
(3 minutes)
(2)
Make sure your learners know the following
vocabulary: salary, uniform, unusual, and
stressful. Distribute the handouts, A to
one student in the pair, and B to the other.
Tell them not to look at each others
handout, but that they must ask questions
on the left to their partners and try to guess
each job. Partners must answer with Yes, I
do (sometimes), or No, I dont & Yes, it
is, or No, it isnt. Students can continue
with their own questions if a job hasnt been
guessed correctly by Question #20.

Continue with a similar activity called
charades. Break the class into two
teams and have one student from each
team come to stand in front of the
class. Write another kind of job on the
board behind the two students (they
are not allowed to look). They then try
to guess the job you wrote by watching
their teammates mime or act out the
job no speaking, just acting! Award
one point to the team whose team
member guesses the job first. Then,
bring new students to the front and
continue as above. Which team can
get the most points?
