The theme of our lesson is “Choosing a career”. We shall speak about professions, your parents’ professions, your future professions, read and listen some texts and stories about them.

You know there are very many different professions in the world – more than 2000. They are international and not international, easy and difficult, prestigious and non-prestigious, low-paid and high-paid. We’ll speak about your right of choosing a profession, about important factors for it, if you are useful or not in your future work.

I want this proverb to be an epigraph for our lesson “Tastes differ” – о вкусах не спорят.

Т: How do you understand this proverb? – P1, P2. Can you explain it?

( Учащиеся объясняют)

Yes, there are many people, so there are many tastes and they are different.

Look at the table. Let’s read these professions and answer the question. – What did you dream to be in your childhood and why? (Р1, Р2, Р3) And what is it now? You have changed your dreams, haven’t you? Yes, you have. You have already chosen other professions, I think. Where do you want to work? What is important (for you) at first in choosing a profession? Now look at the table that shows the results of a servey among British teenagers.(на экране таблица, где показаны результаты опроса подростков, что для них наиболее важно в выборе профессии)

Job for life, job for love.

From early age children like to dream about their future profession. Boys often want to be soldiers or drivers, girls-singers, dancers or actresses. But growing older they learn more about other professions, begin to understand the role of money in life. A difficult question appears: how to find a job that is interesting and at the same time profitable. (Полезная, выгодная)

Some people don’t think of this problem much. They choose security (безопасность) – a job that brings money. They work for the rest of life in the sphere which is boring and irritating (раздражающая) to them. They don’t get any satisfaction (не получают удовлетворения) out of their work, they only spend time there. Sometimes these people have problems with their health (здоровье) and family relations. On the one hand, a person can’t be satisfied if he has got an interesting job which brings him money only for buying cheap (дешевый) food and second-hand clothes, paying rent for the flat and any more.

Sometimes people’s interests and profit (польза) coincide (совпадают). We know many persons from life and literature when professionals get what they deserve (заслуживают). However, there are many people who live just on bread and water, in a small flat, who sacrifice (жертвуют) their family life and the joys of ordinary people for (ради) their work.

It all depends on one’s personality. I think one can find (можно найти) something attractive in every job. At least if a person hasn’t gt any satisfaction from his work, he can get a hobby. At the same time, if you are unable to earn (не имеешь возможоности заработать) enough money for life, you can find another job or another way out. (Другой выход)

Looking for a job, for life and love you should only have a desire (желание) for it. Believe in yourself (поверь в себя) and everything will be OK!
