You know, among professions we can find modern and ancient, fashionable and unfashionable ones, noble, dangerous, prestigious and what not. Will you describe some of the professions giving some more details?

- What professions can be dangerous?

P3: There are many dangerous professions. For example, a fireman, a policeman, a bodyguard and others.

- Can you describe one of them?

P3: (продолжает) I want to tell you about a fireman. People of this profession are usually men. They are strong and brave. They save people, especially children and old people during the fire. They risk their own lives. The fireman must act quickly and not to be afraid of the fire. They must train a lot.

T: Thank you. Do you want to become a fireman?

Secret Service agents protect political leaders, presidents and their families, music and film stars. They must know many things; they learn to shoot well, drive a car or a bike on a high speed. They must make a plan of the visits and others.

T: Good. Thank you, … And what professions are considered to be noble? Do you know them?

It’s a very important profession, because they cure us and safe the lives. They must learn hard to know a man’s body. They must know all illnesses and medicines.

T: Thank you, … Are there any doctors in your family?

Do you know what do most of the girls’ dream of?

- Now, friends, let’s come over to more serious things. I know that choosing a career is a topical problem for teenagers (school-leavers) and it’s really difficult to choose your future profession. It depends on many things - your abilities, interests, health, social position, even geographical position and many others. Do you agree with me?

So, you are welcome to work out a mini-project. The question is “What a young person should take to account while making a right choice of his/her future profession”.

First, let’s divide into two groups.

Just 7 minutes for you.

- Are you ready?

Каждая группа представляет свой проект.

- And I want to finish our lesson with a poem.

На экран выводится следующий слайд презентации со стихотворением.

- Look at the screen, please, and read the poem.

I Want to Ве

Some people often say to mе:

“Have уоu decided what уоu want to bе?”

I usually answer, “I don’t know,”

But it isn’t really so.

I want to win аn Olympic race,

I want to see the Earth from space,

I want to travel to Katmandu

I want to bе rich and famous, too.

I want to bе оn Hollywood’s screen,

I want to invent а new machine,

I want to bе very clever and wise,

I want to win the Nobel prize,

But most of all, I want to bе

Healthy and strong, and nice.

- Really, whatever you chose, become healthy, kind and just good people.
