Last week we discussed different professions, learned the characteristics and qualities which are necessary for all kinds of jobs… Well, today we will continue speaking about different jobs. You are going to review the material taken at previous lessons, work in pairs and groups, play games, read, write and speak about what profession to choose. Read this limerick, please, and say whether it is easy or difficult for young people to choose their future career.

If we could know which road to take,

If we were told which choice to make,

We wouldn’t need to hurry,

And nobody would worry,

 Life would be just a piece of cake

T: What can you say?

P1 (P2, P3 …)

T: Yes, I agree with you.

One of the most difficult problems for you is to choose you future profession. You are in the 9th form and you should decide what to do after finishing the 9th form: to leave school for getting a job in technical schools or to continue education at school in the 10th form. It is not an easy task to make a right choice.

Today at our lesson we try to learn how to choose a profession, which makes you to be happy.

T: Listen to me carefully and give the names to the descriptions of these jobs:

1. A person who helps people with the law or talk for them in court (a lawyer)

2. A person who trained to look after sick animals (a vet)

3. A person who works in a hospital and helps doctors (a nurse)

4. A person whose job is to stop a fire (a fireman)

Thinking of Your Career?

Now you are not so far from the end of school. Have you made your choice of a career? If you have, are you working harder on the school subjects you are going to need in the future? Read what three successful professionals have to say about it.

Jennifer Morrison (she is writing her third novel): In school I did well, but felt discouraged by the teachers. It all changed one summer, I felt that my school wasn't doing enough to educate me. At the same time I understood that I was responsible for my own education. My advice is don't wait for others to educate you, do it yourself. Also read as much as you can

Patric Martin (he is a physician1): I didn't plan to be a doctor, but loved science. Later I found out that doctors also solve problems and rely on facts like scientists do, only they have to do it within a very short period of time. I like my work because I know that my decisions influence my patients' lives and I have to use my brain and hands every day. My advice to young people who made up their minds to study medicine is ask yourself why you want to be a doctor. If it is for the prestige or the money, find a different profession.

Chris Wilson (he is a computer engineer in San Francisco): When I was a kid, I wanted to be a rock star because of all the success and admiration they get. I began to play the guitar at the age of nine and spent the next 20 years chasing my dream. I finished high school and toured with a band playing in clubs. As a day job I did telephone surveys for a computer company. Eventually the company employed me full time and let me learn on the job. I started to make real money and finally it occurred to me that maybe computers were more than a day job. At the age of 27 I gave up my rock star dreams because music had become nothing but a chore. My advice to young people is — you have freedom to sculpt your future but remember that there's no time to waste.
