February Week One

This week we talked professions and debated the ups and downs of our jobs and the jobs of our dreams.

LISTENING
​This week, learners can try an activity about Preparing for a Job Interview, How The Economic Crisis Made Me Change My Job, Talking About Work Conditions, or about Professional Babysitters.

For original version try the short film The Job or a David Sedaris radio story about working in a morgue.

READING
Learners can read a text about responding to job ads or a fill in the balnks reading exercise about jobs.

For original version, try an article about a teenage undertaker or about an Egyptian man turning rubbish into gold.

WRITING
This week for writing, please write a job application letter. This could either be a real letter if you're searching, or respond to this prompt:

You have seen the following job advertisement in your local youth centre. Send a letter to Mr. Johnson, the activity leader, saying why you are suitable for the job.

ACTIVITY CO-ORDINATOR WANTED! (Weekends only)
Would you like to work with young children aged 6-12? Do you have lots of energy? Are you an excellent swimmer? If so, then we want to hear from you. Our children’s club needs someone responsible to look after a group of 10 children to teach them swimming and other activities.

Write your letter of application  in an appropriate style.

Best,
Kelly
