Lesson93 Unit24 Book3 Senior English for China

S6: To find out different kinds of work 
T: Why does the writer suggest you asking the young people for advice?

S7: Because young people have a lot of things in common. We are about similar
 ideas in many ways.

Step 4. Listening and Paraphrasing

   Ask students to listen to the tape. After that, get one student to find out the title

of the text. ( Finding a job )

Some language points:

Step 5. Discussion 

T: Anyway, before we choose a job, we should know what kind of people we are, our

interest, skill, abilities and strong points, besides we also should find out information

about jobs. Actually another important thing should draw our attention. That is the

interview. A successful interview is a great help in getting a job.

  Do you know how to make a proper interview ?

S8: Arrive on time

S9: Dress tidily, but not too smartly/fashionably

S10: Find out as much as you can about the organization before you go to the interview
S11: Don’t be shy. Do be self-confident and proud of your success

S12: Don’t pretend to know everything. Admit what you don’t and show you are eager

   to learn and gain experience

Step 6. Interview 

T: Suppose you are a manager in a travel agency. You have received this job application

 form from Wei Haiying and are interviewing her. Ask her questions to find out

her education, skills, abilities, her level of English and work experience. Then

make a decision whether to accept her as a travel guide.

T: Let’s turn to P237, Ex.2, a job application form. Read it carefully and do an interview.

  I’ll give you minutes to prepare.

 (Get one pair to perform the interview)

T: Manager, will you accept her as a travel guide ? Congratulations!

  So the whole class, how do you find what they two did just now?

 (Ask the students to do assessment of the performance)

Step 7. Debate

T: S12 is so fortunate that she gets the job suitable for her. But in real life, not all people

  are lucky enough to have the right job. Maybe you are offered a job with a high salary.

  But it isn’t what you really want to do and what you want to get will bring you only a

  little money. Which one will you choose ? Actually this is a topic of “ work to live or

 live to work.” I want you to have a debate on this topic.

(Divide the whole class into two parts to ask them to debate)

T: Different people have different opinions on this theme. But I hope all of you will get a

  job which can satisfy you. Nevertheless at present, you must devote yourselves to

your study and get well prepared for your later work.
