on the board and say if they are professions or not – farmer,

babysitter,

teacher,

doctor,

plumber,

tailor,

fireman,

artist,

taxi-driver,

dentist…

(the ‘professions’ need special education and diploma and ‘not professions’ can be done without special qualification)

2. Learners name jobs of people and how they help us (individual work). They look at pictures on the cards and say what workers do and make sentences, e.g.

He’s / She’s a  … (builder). He / she … (builds houses).

3. In pairs, learners interview each other and say which job they would like to do to help others and give a reason. They use sentence support, if needed e.g.

I would like to be a …, because I want to ….

After this activity the teacher asks all the learners about his/her partner’s wish.

Formative assessment: Listening to the song.

The learners listen to a song and cross out the names of professions they hear.

Then they sing the song themselves.

Group work:
