The students will go to part 9c, will listen again and circle the right answer. If needed, the teacher will play the recording again. Then, the students will check answers with a partner and the teacher will give them feedback. To provide them with feedback and in order for the students to be more active, the teacher will ask them to go to the board and circle the correct answers.

Meanwhile, the teacher will ask them to repeat the words after her and will also point out the correct stressed syllables. Then the teacher will ask some CCQs to make sure the students have no difficulty understanding the words. The CCQs are as follows: unemployed: Does he have a job? manager: Is he rich or poor? doctor: Where does a doctor work? teacher: Where does a teacher work? engineer: Did study at university? cleaner: What does a cleaner do? builder: Is it usually a man or a woman? waiter: Where does a waiter work?

Is it usually a man or a woman? actress: Does she act in films or make films? Is it a man or a woman? Then the teacher will give the students some handouts with pictures of the new words and will ask them to match the new words with the pictures. Then the teacher will give them the feedback.
The teacher will have the students choose three jobs that people in their family do. Then the teacher will have the students mingle until they find another person whose family member has the same job. The the students should sit down with their new partners.
The teacher will ask the students to write the names of some family members on a piece of paper. They shouldn't write any information about them. Then they will change papers with their partners.
