Students write the jobs they are familiar with on the WB and the teacher will help them to write correctly showing the stress. e.g. Manager,doctor,sales assistant,an actor,a waiter, a taxi driver, a musician, a police officer Then teacher gives HO to the class and wants them to match with their pair for about two minutes.
The teacher wants ss to listen and repeat job vocabularies they hear. The students listen to the job vocabularies which were in the handout and repeat the vocabularies they hear.
The teacher wants ss to work in groups and learn each others job. She uses her gesture and gives an example doing the same exercise with a student. The students will have 2-3 minutes and the teacher nominates each students from the group and want her/him to say the jobs of their group..
The teacher gives HO to the class to help them to work in pairs. The questions are: 1) Who is your best friend? 2) What is her/his job? 3)Is she/he married or single? The teacher models the question first saying that: A) My best friend is Cansu and she is an English teacher, too. She is single. The students will work together asking these questions. the teacher monitors the students at about 3 minutes and then the students talk about their pair's best friend. Each ss will talk about their partner's best friend. Meanwhile, the teacher writes four words on the WB about the questions: a friend, beautiful,married,single and ss repeat after the teacher.
The students listen to two people Tina and Matt twice. Tina talks about her friends their nationality and marital status. As ss do not have the book, the teacher will give them the listening task and picture from the book and give the instructions so that it gives the students a reason to listen to. For the first listening, Ss are supposed to match people to the photos, so teacher lets students check with their pairs.
The teacher sets the task for the second listening.She simply explains that they are supposed to complete the chart given.

Elicit -wh question. Then the teacher will give -wh question handout and ss will work in pairs. Teacher monitors them and nominates some ss for the answers
Firstly, the teacher gives the instruction about the activity. she picks a student and says the same thing on the card. E.g. I am Alice. I am from the USA. I am an actress. The activity is that the students stand up and each of them has a card given by the teacher and they pretend that they are the person of that card and they talk to each other about the jobs and their nationality. While speaking the teacher will be around or behind them and if needed she interrupts and correct the error.
