Let’s find out what characteristics are necessary for different jobs.
There are pictures and cards with adjectives. I would like you to make up sentences as
in the example. На доске картинки (a pilot, a doctor, a policeman, a teacher, a
journalist , a taxi driver etc.) и карточки с прилагательными (caring, creative,
responsible, kind, friendly, clever, sociable, athletic, intelligent etc.) Ученики
выходят к доске строят предложения и записывают их в тетрадь.
should be clever sociable athletic responsible I have recently had a telephone interview for a job back home in England. I have
had many facetoface job interviews before, and normally I do not get particularly
nervous. However, for a telephone interview, where I could not see the
interviewer, I was very apprehensive! I did not know what he thought of my
answers and it sometimes there were silences where he was writing down my
answers, so I could not tell whether he liked what I said or not!
My friends and family helped me prepare by asking me lots of questions before the
interview. Sometimes, big companies ask strange questions unrelated to the job,
such as, ‘what does your book collection say about you?’ or ‘if you were stranded
in the desert, which three items would you take with you and why?’. The strangest
question I have ever been asked in an interview was ‘if you could be a children’s
TV character, which would you be and why?’.
I was especially worried about being asked to do a maths question on the spot,
because maths isn’t my strongest subject! But luckily, they didn’t ask me. When I
applied for my first job in a cafe when I was sixteen, I was asked a maths question.
Luckily, I got it right, but I was worried, because I paused to think about it for a
long time!
My best interview was for my job at a cafébar at university. My interviewer was
so friendly and I was the last person of the day to be interviewed. This meant that
he wasn’t too rushed, and we got on really well. I knew I had the job when I left
the interview room, even though he didn’t tell me until he telephoned me the next
day!
I like writing, and so filling in a long application form doesn’t bother me. I’ve had
some parttime jobs where I didn’t need an interview at all! But my favourite stage
of a job application is when it gets to the final interview…then it gets very
exciting!
In the future, my dream job is to work for a company I like, in a strong team of
people, and to enjoy it! I’m looking at a career in marketing or something where I
can be creative and fairly sociable. I love to talk, and so, although I don’t mind
interviews, I wish they weren’t so nervewracking!
Have you ever had a job interview? What would your dream job be, and
why?
‘Dry clean only’ is probably a phrase that you have seen before. You see it on the
labels of certain pieces of clothing – like smart jackets, trousers and skirts, and ties or other silk garments. Next to the words, or above them, you’ll also so a capital
‘P’ with a circle around it. It’s the ‘P’ my mum always taught us to avoid when
buying clothes. ‘P’ means it has to be drycleaned, and dry cleaning is expensive.
‘P’ stands for ‘perchloroethylene.’ That’s the chemical that is used in the machine
to ‘dry clean’ the clothes because water would damage – stretch, shrink, fade – the
fabric. I know quite a lot about this because every Saturday from the age of 15 to
18 I worked at a dry cleaning shop. I greeted customers, advised them about their
clothes, pinned tickets onto anything we took in, sorted the clothes into ‘loads’,
sent them to the machine, steamed them when they came out, sent them to be
pressed, put plastic bags on them when they were done, hung them up in numerical
order, and took the money for them when they were collected. At the end of the
day, I helped to clean the floor, and once I even cleaned the walls. It was my first
job: it was not particularly fun, and it was not at all glamorous, but, looking back, I
think it was important. I’ll try to explain why.
The only reason why it was important back then was the money. For the first year I
earned four pounds an hour, and after that it was five. It’s almost unbelievable
now: that’s the physically hardest job I’ve ever had and the least I’ve earned. But it
paid for my social life, my mobile phone credit, a weekly copy of the NME, a
holiday to Portugal after my 'A' Levels, and, thanks to extra shifts in the summer
holidays before university, my first laptop.
One of the reasons why that job seems important now is because it was the first
time I spent on an equal level with adults. As a teenager, the only adults you tend
to regularly spend time with are the ones who have authority over you: your
parents and your teachers. But having a job gives you a chance to mix with adults
who are doing the same task as you. And if you don’t do the task, they won’t shout
at you, or call you back after school, they’ll just tell you not to come back to work.
And then you won’t have any money for the things in the previous paragraph. This
is a handy thing to learn early. And it was also handy to learn that adults are okay –
that you can actually get along with people who don’t have the same hairstyle and
shoes and year of birth as you.
Then there’s the clothes. I love clothes. I think clothes are great. Working at the
dry cleaners gave me a chance to work with some beautiful, expensive, wellmade,
welltailored clothes. It gave me a chance to work with wedding dresses and
evening dresses, and to learn which materials can last through generations, and
which cannot. It’s probably the reason why I still prefer to repair old clothes – new
buttons, new zips, patchedup holes – than buy new ones.
But my time at that shop also taught me some important things about what
I didn’t want. I knew that I didn’t want to be cleaning other people’s clothes in the
future. I didn’t want to work on a tiny, suburban street where you saw the same people every Saturday. I didn’t want to kneel next to a basket folding a stranger’s
underpants and pairing their socks. I didn’t want to go home smelling like
chemicals. And so I went to university at 18 with no idea what I wanted to do or be
as an adult, but with my very own laptop and a good idea of what life wasn’t going
to be. It wasn’t going to be ‘dry clean only.’
Do you have a parttime job? Do you think teenagers should work while they
are at school? Most people assume that babysitting is one of the easiest jobs available for young
people. Many imagine a bored teenager putting a few wellbehaved children to bed
at 9 o'clock and then continuing to watch television until the parents return home to
hand over some money. Well, I can tell you how wrong that stereotype is.
As I only work three days a week in France, I decided that a good way to get out of
the house – and earn some extra money – would be to look for a babysitting job. I
looked after children a lot when I was at school, and I remembered it as being quite
easy.
I now work all day on a Wednesday for a Ukranian family with three young boys. I
am there to look after them while their mother does errands and takes care of her
six month old baby. However, I am also there to improve their English by teaching
them songs and games in my native language.
Now, four months later, I get home at the end of the day absolutely exhausted!
Babysitting is not a job for the lazy – or the weak. I expected perfect children who
would behave well and listen to me all the time. Sadly, I don't think those kind of
children exist at all. While my two boys are usually polite and calm, they are
typical children and also like to fight, scream and throw tantrums for no real
reason.
Being a babysitter requires you to take on a hundred different roles throughout the
day. I have to be a friend when I play with the boys, but their teacher when I tell
them to do something. When they hurt themselves, I have to be their nurse, and
when they fight over silly things like sharing their crayons, I have to be a
negotiator. When lunchtime rolls around I am cook, and then maid as I clean up
after them. Finally, in English, if someone is very tolerant we say they have the
“patience of a saint”. I think I embody this expression sometimes!
Despite the exhaustion involved in my job, I usually do enjoy it. Working with
children is very rewarding, but I'm always relieved to leave them with their parents
and come home to a quiet house at the end of the day!
Have you ever babysat for younger siblings or someone else's children? Did
you find it easy or difficult? You can see here a table. Find the names of professions. 6 letters are unnecessary.

Read the texts given below. How do you think people react when they find out
about these people’s jobs?
In many ways, David Cunningham is a stereotypical Scottish man. In his free
time, he plays golf, goes to football matches, and meets his friends in the local pub,
all the things you'd expect a young, active man to do. And like many men, he isn't
very good at housework. He's untidy, hardly ever hoovers and he's never cooked a
meal in his life. However, one thing about him does not fit this stereotype: his job.
David Cunningham is a midwife.
Although some women are surprised when they find out tha their midwife is a
man, David has a good reputation in the part of Scotland where he works. In his
opinion, it's because of the way he carries out his duties. 'I really care about the
women that I look after' he says. He gets on well with the husbands too. 'Having another man there calms them,'he explains. And many of them feel more
comfortable asking a man questions.'
'I've been qualified for fourteen years and I've delivered hundreds of babies,'
says David, who used to be a coal miner. 'There are only five or six male midwives
ih Scodand. When I started, I expected more men to join the profession, but the
number hasn't really changed. People still see it as a job which only women do.'
Base 34 is a new garage in Montpellier, in the south of France. Customers who
take their cars there for repairs may be surprised to find that all the employees are
women.
When Herve Malige advertised for women who wanted to become mechanics,
he received 120 aplications. After tests and interviews, he chose fifteen. They
included a nurse, a secretary, a beauty therapist and two flight attendants. They all
wanted a chance to work in this traditionally male envitonment.
I think a lot of people instinctively trust women more. And female customers
might feel more comfortable with somebody who doesn't treat them as if they don't
understand anything!'
Altrough most car mechanics are still men, the situation is gradually changing.
Men are starting to leave the profession, and women are joining it. Why? In a
word, technology. In the past, being a mechanic was a physically tough and dirty
job. Now, cars are much more complicated than they used to be. You need patience
and intelligence to work out the problem is, not strength. Many people believe that
this makes the job more suitable for women than for men.
Are the sentences true or false? Correct the false sentences. 1 David Cunningham does not have the same hobbies as most other men in
Scotland.
2 Most women that David has worked with think that he is good at his job.
3 David gets on well with the women but not with their husbands.
4 David is not very experienced in his work.
5 There are not many male midwives in Scotland, but the number is increasing.
5 What is surprising about Base 34 is that no men work there.
7 Fifteen women applied to work at the garage.
8 The women had different jobs before working at the garage, but wanted a
change.
9 The job of mechanic is changing because cars are getting simpler.
10 Many people think that there will be more female car mechanics in the future.

Reading
Teacher: Now you will work in groups. Read the different texts how four young
men decided on their career and then answer “Why the young men choose the
profession?”
1st group "Why did the young man choose the profession?"
John Andrews had to wear glasses ever since he was a small boy. So, shortly
before the time when he was to leave school, his parents suggested that he might
train to be an optician, John didn't have any strong feelings about what he warned
to do, so he agreed and started a course of training with the intention of becoming
an optician. He found the work interesting, and did not have any trouble in
qualifying at the end of the course.
After graduating he applied for a number of jobs and managed get one in the town
where he lived.
2nd group
"Why did the young man choose the profession?"
All his life Edward had lived with his parents in a big city, but he had always loved
the country, and he was particularly interested in science, so when he finished
school he decided to go to an agricultural college and learn how to be a farmer.
3rd group
"Why did the young man choose the profession?'
To study to become a nurse in England, one has to pass t certain examinations.
Then, after quite a long course of practical and theoretical study, one has to pass
more examinations. Timothy Lloyed, whose parents were both doctors, had always
wanted to work in medicine. Later at school, Timothy was particularly interested in
science, especially biology. Since he was more interested in practical things, he
wanted to become a nurse. He was gentle he believed that people should help one
another, and he was not afraid of blood, so he was a boy whose teachers all agreed
would make an excellent nurse.
4. The favourite subject at school for Ted Hughes [hju.z] was Geography, because
he had always wanted to travel. He studied various parts of the world so that he could feel as if he knew them a little. Ted liked children and was always ready to
have a joke with them.
So after finishing school he decided to be a teacher. He finished teachers training
college and became a teacher of Geography in a primary school.
G1: John Andrews decided to become an optician because he had to wear glasses
all his life.
G2: Edward decided to become a farmer because he had always loved the country
and he was interested in science.
G3: Timothy Lloyed decided to become a nurse because he was interested in
science, biology. He believed that people should help one another.
Work in pairs. Tell your partner about your dream job. Where would or
wouldn't you like to work? What would or wouldn't you like to do at work? Give
reasons. A NEW DREAM JOB?
A Mr Lim,24,i s an absolute pro.What used to be his hobby is now a profession
earning him about $3OO,000 only last year. Over the next couple of years he will
make much more.
B He lives in a small twobedroom apartment and, despite making a fortune, shares
it with nine other people. There's a computer for everyone but not much room for
anything more, except pizza boxes and bags filled with clothes. When,after a ten
hour training session Mr. Lim is ready to get some sleep, he simply rolls out a
mattress. Like many of his profession he prefers to sleep during the day and sit in
front of his computer most of the night. His private life is nonexistent and he
hasn't been on a date for ages.
C So what is Mr Lim's job? He is a professional computergame player and spends
his days wiping out countless armies and annihilating aliens pecies. This
profession appeared on the job market only a few years ago, but it's a booming
industry. In Korea, thousands of young people try out for the top teams. There are
over 200 pros, the best ones joining professional leagues founded in the late 90s.
The rules of selection are very strict, but anyone who thinks they've got what it
takes can register through a national system and then climb from one level to the
next to finally join the national delegation. These compete against each other in
Singapore at the world championships.
D Since the championships and online matches are watched by thousands, big
money is made on tickets and advertising. Korea even has T V channels covering
games roundtheclock and DVDs of famous. Faceoffs proved more profitable
than The Matrix. The champions are awarded lucrative cash prizes. Most of the
players are about 20; however there are also some in their 30s and 40s.
E It is too early to predict how long a career like this can last. Howeverw, with its
popularity on the rise, you might be set for life.So bring your favourite mouse,
headphones and keyboard if you wish (computers are provided to prevent
cheating)and let the games begin. Speaking. Make a small presentation of your dream job. Give necessary reasons.
