Ход урока
I hope our gests will have an enjoyable time with us.
Our goal is to get to know as much as possible about different kind of profession, about abilities, skills and to make a plan about your future profession.
1. Speak on the topic
Let’s read these quotations and explain them.
If a man wishes to improve himself, let him improve his work. Труд – это лучший инструмент для самосовершенствования. Develop yourself: abilities, skills, talents.
Qualifications save explanations. Профессионализм говорит сам за себя.
If you are a skilled person you shouldn’t explain that you work well only do all the best.
A worker should be given his pay.Трудящийся достоин пропитания.
Gess the topic of our lesson.
First of all, I`d like to find the difference between the words: work / job / profession.
Work – means to have a job, to do the job that you are paid for.
Profession – a job that needs a special education and training. If you want to get good profession you should study a lot.
Study the combination: by profession/choose smth as a profession.
Here are the examples: What is your mother by profession? Will you choose law as a profession?
Job – the regular paid work that you do for an employer.
Study the expressions: get/find, take/accept, Saturday/summer/holiday job
Study the examples: Did you work a holiday job this summer?
Let’s talk a little bit about work.
Nowadays there is a lot of unemployment so it is getting more and more difficult to get the kind of job you really want. Then you have to decide what is more important to you and how much you want to earn. Do you want to work with your hands (called manual work) or do you prefer to work in an office? Do you prefer to work indoors or outdoors?
At the end of the school you must choose a job which helps you in your life. Now you should think about it. Your teachers, parents, friends advice you what kind of job you should choose. Today at our lesson we’ll try to discuss what the best way to have a job, what skills and abilities are needed to be successful in it. You’ll do some exercises, quiz.

Very good! I’m sure that you can write a letter to your pen-friend and use these words correctly!

A doctor should be well educated, intelligent, to know psychology well, caring…
A teacher should be well educated, intelligent, kind, caring, dedicated to chosen profession…

How many mistakes have you got?
Have you got any questions?
