Warmer/Lead-in: Prediction technique (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Prediction technique will be done; pictures of jobs, working conditions and vocabularies (full-time job, part-time job, and self-employed) will be printed out and I will ask them to predict what the pictures present in pairs. Furthermore, I will introduce the speaking activity and tell them to speak in groups about their ideal jobs and put a tick at each part.

Pre-teaching vocabulary: 1. Flexible working hours 2. couple 3. either 4. often 5. benefits Exercise 2 on page 20 is about the working conditions in a workplace chat followed by exercise 3 and 4 questions are based on them.

Speaking (14-16 minutes) • To provide students with a more interactive way to use the expressions from the previouse exercise.

In exercise 6, students will be using the working conditions vocabulary. Since I'm using the projector to show the paper on board, I will circle the words that they should use while speaking to give clear instructions. Including I will give an example: Q. What is your job like? A. It's great, because we have flexible working hours. They will have 2 minutes individually to think about their own jobs, and can make some brief notes. Furthermore they will personalize and discuss it in groups. I will be monitoring them, and guide them in case if a group didn't understand the instructions.
