Here we have so many careers. Do you know all of them? We know a librarian works in a library. How about the others? Next you need to explain these nouns just like this. Come to Activity one on page 64.

Which job would you like to do when you leave school. Firstly I’d like you to think of the sentence patterns that we have learned to express preference:

prefer… to …

prefer to do rather than do

would rather do than do

would do rather than do

Then use the words and sentence patterns to exercise.

Step 3. Reading

There are two students Shen Xiang and Lu Wen. They are Senior school students. Here we have got some information about them. Read the two passages carefully and choose one job for each of them then you should tell me the reason.

Read the progress reports again. Answer these questions.

1. Who did a lot of work for the exam?

2. Who is good at translation?

3. Who wants to work with computers?

4. Which student has more friends?

5. Who enjoys studying science?

6. Whose work has got better this term?

7. Which student works harder?

Step 4. Homework

Write a short passage to introduce yourself just like the passages in our textbook and say what kind of job you’d like to do and the reason.

Period IV Writing

Aim: learn to write a true report of the interest, grades, ideal of oneself

Step 1 Reading

Ask the students to read the two reports again and find out from which points a report should include, for example grades, favourite subjects, interest, speciality and so on. The teacher can give some words for help like make rapid progress, be good at, do well in, have a gift for, show great interest in, my great wish is…

Step 2Work in groups of four.

1. Each of them write a report about the things he is interested in and what he wants to do when he leaves school on himself. Don’t put the name on.

2. Put the reports together. Take one of the reports and read it to the group. It must not be your own report. Try and guess who the report is about. Say why you think this.

Also the teacher can ask one or two students to read to the class, and get others to guess.

Step 3 work in groups of four.

1. Each one chooses a topic, and thinks about at least eight questions about the topic.

2. Take turns to ask each person in the group your questions. Encourage people to talk, and ask more questions if you want. Note down the answers. Write a report giving people’s answers.

3. Present the report to the group. Ask others to check it .

Step 4 Homework

Write a report about a teacher according to the questions
