First of all, let’s read these wise quotations written on the blackboard. Can you comment them?

  • “Get happiness out of your work or you may never know what happiness is”. (Edgar Bergen)
  • “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”. (Unknown author)
  • “When work is a pleasure, life is joy. When work is duty, life is slavery.” (Maxim Gorky)

Well, thank you. So, it is very important to find your own way in your life.

Let’s classify the items in the list of job requirements according to the categories (a sharp mind, ambition, creativity, numeracy and literacy, artistic ability, dedication, administrative skills, individuality, initiative, ability to work to tight deadlines, physical strength, teamwork skills, leadership, ability to work under pressure, flexibility)

  1. Say which abilities skills and qualities are needed to be successful in the job of tour guide? politician? etc.

  1. Do you know that all professions can be divided into 6 groups? They are: dangerous underpaid respected unskilled exciting unnecessary/pointless

(К доске вызываются 2 ученика и распределяют картинки с изображениями людей различных профессий в разные части таблицы, руководствуясь своими представлениями о них, готовятся объяснить свой выбор). (3 минуты).

  1. Остальные учащиеся работают с интерактивным упражнением “Профессии” [Chris Redston&Gillie Cunningham “Face2face” Cambridge University Press 2005г. +CD-ROM]

Учитель: Well, you think there are no pointless jobs. Some of them are traditional, others are strange, but all of them should be respected.

  1. Listening

Let’s listen to the text about strange jobs [Chris Redston&Gillie Cunningham “Face2face” Cambridge University Press 2005г. +CD-ROM] and tick the true sentences. Correct the false sentences. (Для опроса используется лаборатория устной речи “SANAKO Lab 90”, функция “Викторина”, результаты обрабатываются компьютером.)

Tapescript

Interviewer: Daniel Ash, your new book is a collection of articles about people with strange jobs.

Daniel: Yes, I collected stories about unusual jobs from all over the world.

I: So you’re not talking about actors or shop assistants.

D: No, all the people in the book have very strange jobs.

I: I see it’s organized in very different industries, like the cleaning industry. But isn’t cleaning a normal job?

D: Normally, yes. But did you know there’s man in America called Brad Fields and he cleans the chewing gum off the Statue of Liberty? Well, actually now he’s got a company called Gumbusters. But that’s all they do – they clean gum off the streets and famous buildings of New York.

I: Oh, what a horrible job!

D: Yes, apparently Americans chew 56 billion pieces of chewing gum of year. Then they throw most of it onto street. That’s a lot of cleaning.

I: OK, that’s job is quiet unusual. But what about the food industry?

D: Well, when the food to advertise food they sometimes need a food stylist. Their job is to make food look good in advertisement.

I: I’ve never heard of this job before.

D: Well, there are only 20 food stylists in Britain. For example, when we look at picture of strawberries and cream we’re really looking at strawberries and white paint.

I: Really?

D: Yes, they paint sausages with washing-up liquid, then coffee, to make them look natural.

I: So what’s the strangest job in your book, do you think?

D: Well, what about a vermiculturalist?

I: What’s that?

D: A vermiculturalist is a worm farmer. These people manage farms that only have worms. No other animals, only worms.

I: But why?

D: Well, worms like eating rubbish and that’s good for the environment. So companies pay a worm farmer to clean up their rubbish.

I: Fascinating, but urh not a job for me. I see there’s also a chapter about artists. What strange jobs did you find in…
