ІІ. Игровой этап
T. So, people who are engaged in business, tourism and schooling have come to our studio. First of all, let’s listen to the professionals.
1) Профессионалы из каждой группы рассказывают о важности своей профессии, свой опыт.
I am a businesswoman. I study economic processes both in Crimea and other countries. I understand the reasons of economic problems; discover the ways of their solving. I need knowledge of English to study the experience of foreign developed countries. Knowledge of foreign language opens a new world for me. I know English so I can communicate with my partners abroad and make deals with whem. I can also speak to foreigners and it is a way to better understanding other people’s nature, culture and needs.
I am an English teacher. Teaching is a noble profession. In modern times all kinds of specialists need foreign languages in their work – teachers, doctors, engineers and people in many other professions. If a specialist doesn’t know a foreign language he can’t use necessary information which he/she needs in his/her work. I teach my pupils to learn more and more vocabulary and use it while speaking on different topics, to read English books in the original, so they won’t depend on translations.
Tourist guide. As for me, I always wanted to work with people and see the world. I like foreign languages and my dream to work abroad came true after graduating from Tourism faculty. There I have learnt two foreign languages. Tourism became a very profitable business because people are ready to spend their money for the great opportunity to have a good time learning about new countries, going sightseeing, resting and enjoying themselves.
T. Journalist. Well, it’s very exciting to know much information about the professions, but let’s listen to the psychologists’ points of view.
Психолог в каждой группе получил список с перечнями различных черт характера, его задача – выделить только те черты, которые наиболее подходят к определенной профессии.
2) Психологи зачитывают свои списки.
Т. The characteristics which you have given us are true to life and valuable. Employees, it’s your turn now. Please interview applicants.
3) Директора школы, турагентства и фирмы проводят собеседование с претендентами. Это вопросы о качествах работника. Затем они дают претендентам бланки с анкетой для заполнения при приеме на работу.
T. Now I think it’s time for advertising managers. Please show your advertisements about these professions.
4) Менеджер по рекламе в каждой группе показывает короткую рекламу (на слайдах), подчеркивает, какой тип рекламного эффекта он использует.
T. Journalist. Now let’s listen to the applicants’ opinion. Are they going to choose the professions they’ve been told about?
5) Претенденты из каждой группы выражают свое мнение, почему они собираются выбрать эту профессию, как знание английского языка будет способствовать этому выбору.
I like the profession of a guide. They meet many people. I think that the work of a guide is very much like that of a historian. The historian studies and tries to explain events of the past and the guide do the same about the present.
I want to become a guide because of some reasons. It is an interesting profession because a guide meets people from different countries and cultures all the time and has an opportunity to learn much about them. Besides, this profession is very useful for it helps people to understand each other.
I want to be a businesswoman. My father is working for an international company as a managing director. I have been several times at his office. I like it very much to be there. It seems to me that you need to have creativity to be a businessman. I respect my father and I want to become a businesswoman too. I think our country needs good business people to strengthen its economy.
After finishing school I'm going to enter the university and study marketing or management. Manager deals mainly with people. It is necessary to know English to deal with foreign market research and commercial activity in general. I still have time to think and choose.
Future teacher of English. My favourite subject is English. I understand the importance of knowledge of a foreign language. It enables people from different countries to communicate with each other, to use all necessary information in Internet, English newspapers, magazines and books, to understand English songs and films. So I decided for myself to become a teacher of English. Of course, I know that it is not easy and takes much patience and effort. And of course a teacher ought to have perfect knowledge of his subject. I realize that my dream can come true only if I work hard.
III. Послеигровой этап
T. Journalist. Our role-play comes to the end. It seems to me that we answered the question about the importance of English to every educated person.
I hope my report to the school radio news programme will be successful.
Do you like the game? I think it was good because you were cooperative and work well together in groups. As Henry Ford once said:
Coming together is a beginning,
Keeping together is a progress,
Working together is a success.
