Ход урока

I. Greeting. Warm-up.

1) Saying compliments.

T: Hello, everybody. I’m glad to see you! How are you? I’m sure, that you are full of energy and ready to make our lesson interesting and rich. The subject of our lesson today is “Choosing a profession”. There are a lot of professions in the world, so it rather difficult to choose the right one. The choice of the future profession is a very delicate topic. A young boy or a girl has little knowledge about the world of grown-ups. They should take into consideration many factors. We are going to discuss various jobs, we’ll read the text and discuss some problems, we’ll listen to the interviews and presentations and make up short dialogues.

You know that people must be tolerant to each other, so let’s start with saying compliments.

(Учащиеся бросают друг другу мяч и говорят комплименты)

P1 – July, you look wonderful today!

P2 – Thanks, you are very kind. Nastya, your smile is so charming.

P3 – Thanks a lot. I’m pleased to hear that. This hairstyle is just right for you! Etc.

2) Brain storm.

T: And now I’d like you to solve a problem. You are the boss of the company. You’ll have to hire one of the two employees. One of them is a very efficient worker. The other is not. But he is your close relative. What would you do?

P1: If I were a boss I would never hire any of my relatives, instead of a talented worker, because I wouldn’t start risking my business and I would offer this job to the efficient employee.

P2: I am in two minds. On the one hand I would like to help my relative, but on the other hand I wouldn’t like to run a risk. (Р1 –Р2 …)

Watching and analyzing video interview.

T: Now, friends, let’s come over to more serious things. And I give the floor to our journalist.

P (journalist): You know, that choosing a profession is a topical problem for our school-leavers. I interviewed some students of the 11-th form about their plans for the future. Let’s listen to them.

T: And after listening our journalist will ask you some questions about your plans for the future.

(Учащиеся смотрят видеозапись, учащийся-журналист комментирует видео интервью)

3) Совершенствование навыков монологической речи

Speaking about plans for the future.

T: As you see our school-leavers have already decided what profession to choose. This year you are finishing school and I suppose you’ve made up your mind as to the future profession. Will you speak about it? But firstly I’d like you to remember the poem “I want to be”.

“I Want to Be”

Some people often say to me:

“Have you decided what you want to be?”

I usually answer, “I don’t know”,

But it isn’t really so.

I want to win an Olympic race,

I want to see the Earth from space,

I want to travel to Katmandu

I want to be rich and famous, too.

I want to be on Hollywood’s screen,

I want to invent a new machine,

I want to be very clever and wise,

I want to win the Nobel prize,

But most of all, I want to be

Healthy and strong, and nice.

T: And now our journalist will ask you some questions about your plans for the future.

P (J): What are you going to do after the 9^th form?

P1: I haven’t decided yet, But I’d like to be a teacher. To teach and bring up children is the most important and noble thing, to my mind.

P (J): What are your plans for the future?

P2: There are a lot of interesting and useful professions, and I want to become a clothes designer. I want all people to be beautifully dressed and look nice and confident.

P3, P4 etc.

T: And now I know that some of our students have made presentations about their future professions. Let’s listen to them.

P1 – P2 – P3

T: And now let’s rest after your hard work.

What should we take into consideration while choosing a profession? Is character important? I think, yes. We’ll play a psychological game which is called “a hot chair”. The game is simple. One of you will sit down on the chair, the others will speak honestly about his (her) traits of character. Then our psychologist Alina will give her comments.

P1. Sits down on the “hot chair”.

Pupils speak in turn. E.g.

I think you are (sociable and communicative)

In my opinion you are (clever and generous)

You are …, but sometimes you are… . Etc.

(После того, как учащиеся высказались по поводу характера своего одноклассника, ученик, выступающий в роли психолога, дает совет о том, какую профессию следует выбрать учащемуся).

Psychologist: I would advise you to become a … because you are… .

T: Well done. And now make yourself comfortable, think about of some pleasant moments in your life and listen to a song.

T: You all understand that choosing a career is the problem of vital necessity for many teenagers. You know there are highly-paid and low-paid, challenging and boring jobs. My job, for example, is not highly-paid, but it is extremely interesting Now I’d like you to read the text and then discuss the question: Which is more important – a high salary or satisfaction? What’s your opinion of the problem?

(Учащиеся читают текст и потом высказывают своё мнение по данной проблеме, в случае необходимости корректно перебивают друг друга и продолжают беседу)

e.g.

• Sorry for interrupting
